Homebrew Ra'zac Species Details
Beak and Exoskeleton
The Ra'zac look much like large birds primarily vaulter-like. Standing upright, ra'zac might reach 5 feet tall, and they have long, narrow legs that taper to sharp talons. The Ra'zac have a strong black exoskeletons which is as hard and as strong as armor protecting them from weak blows without slowing them down with bulky excess weight. The eyes of the ra'zac rage from red, blue, and violet.
Life-Cycle
When a ra'zac hatches, it is referred to as a pupa. It has a roughly human exoskeleton, allowing it to be somewhat inconspicuous in the company of its favorite prey, humans. They wear black cloaks to help hide their form. When they reach the first full moon of its twentieth year, it sheds it exoskeleton, spreading its dragon-like wings that developed from a bulge on its back, emerging as a fully grown Lethrblaka, said to resemble a monstrous dark dragon. The Ra'zac use the Lethrblaka as flying mounts, their parents. The Lethrblaka is a full mature ra'zac.
Excellent assassins
They have strong senses: they can track a scent like a hound, see in complete darkness. Perhaps their greatest power is that they have a natural shield around their mind. Even the best mind detection spells can not detect their mind. This makes them impossible to breach or control the minds with mental powers, unless they consent to it.
Humans beware
The Ra'zac have a poisonous breath that fogs the minds of humans, having limited effects on dwarves and no effect on elves.
Sun and water
The Ra'zac have a sensitive to sunlight and are not able to swim, possibly do to their exoskeleton, as a result they have a morbid fear of deep water and thus keep away from it.

Sorry for it taking so long to reply. Yes, you can. I was trying to make them reflect the race from the books of The Inheritance Cycle. If you can, can you send me what you come up with. I have a friend that wants to play them to. Just have not hade the time to look over the race, do to life and stuff.
