Homebrew Amazon (Olympian) Species Details

"It is better to die with a sword in your hand than live with a scar on your back, for that is the brand of a coward", this is the creed of the warriors known as Amazons. Amazons are a tall, tanned, and strong race that is strictly female who are trained to fight from a very early age. The average Amazon stands around 7 - 9 feet tall and are usually well muscled particularly in their arms as they are quite proficient with the bow. They are trained in hunting as well as crafting some of the finest weapons around. Amazons are typically very cautious of men, but will do business with them so long as the end result is deemed beneficial enough. Whether by some latent ancient magic or the grace of one of their goddesses, only women are born to this mighty race of humanoids. Those who have managed to earn the trust of these warriors will find a friend willing to lay down their life for them.
