Homebrew Puca Species Details

Púcaí are shapechangers from the Feywild. They are said to bring good or bad luck, or both, to the communities they settle in.

Puca Traits

The Púca can change its form, and bring good or bad fortune.

Ability Score Increase

Your Wisdom and Charisma scores increase by 1.

Age

As part of the fey, púcaí mature at a very different rate than humans, reaching physical and mental maturity at around the age of 150, and living well over 1000 years.

Alignment

Púcaí are neither benevolent or malevolent, not truly understanding the division of good and evil. The púcaí share the fey's love for mischief, and as natural tricksters they tend to enjoy the thrill chaos brings.

Size

Púcaí vary greatly in height, ranging from 4 to 7 feet tall. Your size is Medium.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Darkvision

Thanks to your fey heritage, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Fey Ancestry

You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.

Shapechanger

As an action, you may shift into one of the following forms: cat, jackal, goat, or riding horse. You may only shift into one form at a time, and you may change which form you can shift into after a long rest. Additionally, you are still affected by spells that speak of shapechangers, such as Polymorph, but you have advantage on the saving throw.

While shifted, the following rules apply:

  • Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of your new form, but you retain your alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. However, all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies are that of the creature.
  • You keep your hit points and Hit Dice across all forms. The damage you take when shifted carries over to when you revert to your normal form. If you are knocked unconscious, you revert back to your normal form.
  • You may still speak while shifted, but only in Sylvan, and your ability to take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of the creature.
  • You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so. You also keep your special senses, such as darkvision, even if the creature doesn't have it.
  • Your equipment merges into your new form. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.

Luck of the Wilds

If you are the target of an attack that requires you to make a saving throw, as a reaction you can force the roll to be made with disadvantage, potentially causing it to miss you. If the attack still hits, you have advantage on the saving throw. Once you use this trait, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common and Sylvan.
