Homebrew Aswang Species Details
Aswang are descendants of Humans who were transformed through the power of Sitan. Their origins trace back to Corazon, the first Aswang, whose bargain with the dark god created a new and corrupted form of humanity.
For much of history, Aswang were feared and persecuted because of their supernatural nature and their association with violence and hunger. Following the Aswang Catastrophe, however, many Aswang were accepted into the new political order of Nazul. Some devoted themselves to protecting others and rebuilding the trust their kind had lost.
Modern Aswang live among many of the other peoples of Nazul, though their predatory instincts and unnatural abilities can still make them objects of fear and suspicion.
As an Aswang, your body carries the supernatural traits of your cursed ancestry. You possess unnatural senses and natural weapons, but you must also contend with the hunger that has followed your kind since the first Aswang.Darkvision
You can see in dim light within 60 feet of yourself as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light.
Natural Weapons.
Your body is a natural weapon. When you make an unarmed strike, you can use your claws or fangs to deal 1d6 + your Strength modifier slashing or piercing damage instead of the normal damage of an unarmed strike.
Aswang Resilience
You have resistance to necrotic damage.
Predator's Senses
You have proficiency in either Perception or Stealth.
Hunger
Your supernatural hunger is a part of your existence, but you have learned to control it. When you finish a Long Rest, you gain 1 Hunger point if you have not fed since your last Long Rest.
While you have at least 1 Hunger point, you have Disadvantage on your first Wisdom saving throw against being Charmed or Frightened that you make before your next Long Rest.
You can remove 1 Hunger point by feeding appropriately during a Long Rest. A willing creature can allow you to feed from them without suffering lasting harm, at the DM's discretion.
You can have a maximum of 3 Hunger points. At 3 Hunger points, your supernatural hunger becomes overwhelming, and you have Disadvantage on all Wisdom saving throws until your Hunger is reduced.
