Homebrew Faun Species Details

Fauns are to animals what tieflings are to devils. They are humanoids with animal blood, which gives them horns like goats, deer, or antelope, along with deer-like noses and ears, and goat-like legs with cloven hooves. They live in small hunter-gatherer tribes in the forests.
