Homebrew Ancient Hybrid Species Details
A hybrid’s biological enhancements can change its appearance drastically, though most hybrids retain their basic physical form. All are augmented with characteristics of ancient or extinct animals.
Hybrids are the product of Ancient magic. It’s not impossible for a hybrid to leave the Ancient Combine and join another guild, but the Ancient would consider the individual a deserter. And the new guild might never fully welcome a hybrid who could easily be an Ancient spy.
Ancient Hybrid Traits
Your hybrid character has the following racial traits.Ability Score Increase
One of your ability scores increases by 2, and one other ability score of your choice increases by 1.
Age
Hybrids begin their lives as any adult from any race. They age at a slightly accelerated rate, so their maximum life spans are probably reduced somewhat. The Revival Project has not been operating long enough to observe the full effect of this phenomenon.
Alignment
Most hybrids share the generally neutral outlook of the Ancient Combine. They are more interested in scientific research and the standing of their guild than in moral or ethical questions. Those who leave the Combine, however, often do so because their philosophical outlook and alignment are more in line with a different guild’s.
