Homebrew Dakramor Species Details

The Dakramor are a hardy race hailing from far tundras that are as practical as a goliath, cheery as a halfling, and mysterious as an elf. Once they've established a practical environment, however, they pursue their ancient passion for the eldritch and the arcane.

Survival First

Living in a tundra, the Dakramor are extremely adaptable and practical. This extends to the highest forms of hunting and gathering, the building of insulated shelters, the crafting of weapons, and the creation of warm, heavy clothing. In some cases, the Dakramor may use magic to aid them in their survival. Their tribes can be made up of anything from twenty to a hundred Dakramor, and their civilizations can range from a collection of huts to advanced stone buildings. A Dakramor tribe leader is usually a powerful spellcaster or survivalist.

Pursue the Arcane

The Dakramor show another side of their nature other than survival: an intense passion for magic. Many Dakramor master the arcane, so much that even those who do not are granted with some innate magic. Some Dakramor are druids, using magic to aid their tribe in survival, and others are wizards, who study less practical spells to fulfill their passion.

Cheery Extroverts

Dakramor adopt a charismatic nature, enjoying friends and conversation, and are helpful allies. Dakramor tribes may combine with Snow Elves for more social versatility.

Adventurous Impulses

A Dakramor is a survivalist, and is eager to use their skills in the world, especially one that is a spellcaster. Many Dakramor leave their tribes to see the world and exercise their skills, and meet other people for delightful conversation and company. Some of the Dakramor join together to form entire nomadic tribes of adventurers. 

Slender and Stocky

A Dakramor usually has skin that's light blue, but about every one in ten has a hot pink skin tone. Their hair is a frosty silver, and styles traditional to Dakramor tribes are considered flamboyant among other races. A Dakramor stands about half a foot taller than a human, at about six and a half feet. However, their adapting to a tundra environment has also given them stocky builds, and they can weigh several pounds more than a human.
