Homebrew BattleBorn Species Details

Battle Born are formed from the chaos and destruction of the battlefield. They care only for war. Battle Born are natural warriors and are known for their durability, surviving wounds that bring down their human allies. Some Battle Born are reported as having being struck down only to rise and continue to fight while, as the reports say, "Ignoring wounds through almost pure rage and willpower until not even willpower can keep their hearts beating." Battle Born are known for slaughtering small armies almost single-handedly. Despite sounding like berserkers, many Battle Born are expert tacticians and generals, laying down tactics and controlling the battle with but a few words.
