Homebrew Ettin-Kin Species Details
Two Heads, One Body
The term Ettin-Kin refers to one of the two heads that share a single body from the neck down. Ettin-kin are often a constant source of conversation and debate since the two heads must communicate verbally as with other individuals. Each head possess its own unique will and personality and is capable of learning or perceiving different things to its sibling. Ettin-kin can often take on two different roles, making the break down of Ettin-kin society extremely complicated. When both heads come into compromise or agreement and share a common will they can achieve great feats beyond even their fellow half-giants. Each head must be a separate player, players may have differing classes and proficiencies but must have a common, or very similar background.
Movement for the Ettin-kin can be complicated, most often each head controls the limbs on their side on the body. In rare occasions Ettin-kin may control the legs and one leg, with one head controlling only a single arm. One common combination is for a martially trained Ettin-kin that controls one arm and both legs with a magically inclined sibling head that controls the other arm.
Giant's Blood
They are part giant and are normally between 6 and 10 feet tall. The Ettin-kin is a smaller half-Ettin, still holding the Ettin trait of two heads. The two individuals that make up a single Ettin-kin usually find some way to get allow as bickering makes life slow and tedious and their is no easy way for an Ettin-kin to separate.
Ettin-Kin Traits
Ettin-kin share a number of traits in common with each other.Sharing Space
The Ettin-kin siblings share the same body, when one takes damage the other head takes an equal amount of damage. If one head has any resistances or immunities their resistances still apply to them, however their sibling head does not benefit from their personal damage reduction. Spells and attacks can target either head, weapon attacks typically target the closest head. Conditions caused by affects that target the Ettin-kin such as prone, restrained and exhausted affect both Ettin-kin however conditions such as charmed, frightened or stunned can target only one head.
If one head falls unconscious, the other head is able to take over the body. However, if one head dies, the other head loses one maximum health at the start of each turn eventually causing death unless the first head is resurrected.
