Homebrew Doggonian Species Details
Doggonians are anthropomorphic dogs that come in all shapes, sizes, and breeds. Most Doggonians are between 4 and 7 feet tall though some are as small as 2 feet tall or as big as 10 feet tall leading to a rather diverse community.
Doggonians themselves are responsible for their own current state of existence. Their ancestral homeland broke off ages ago from another plane of existence and was stabilized by their own combination of arcane, divine, and planar magicks. They are the decedents of what could be best described as a tribe of bi-pedal wolves often referred to in old texts as "Wolf-kin."
As a race soaked in magic life spans vary from family to family, though the age of majority is consistently at 22.
Doggonian is considered done with their basic training in their chosen area of skill at the age of 22 and then go through a sacred coming of age ritual... i.e. jumping through one of the random portals that sort that have the habit of forming around the major magical nexuses in Reynsland. The purpose of this quest is to find as much information as possible about the location, broaden the individual's horizons, and eventually find out how to get back to the Doggonian home plane of Reynsland.
The only information they are given about the location they are to be sent to is that they most likely will not die upon entry, so preparation is important for the young Doggonian starting their journey, and they come kitted out in equipment custom to their particular build. Along with the blessing of their patron Reynard in the form of a 'Sigil of Reynard'.
EVERYONE loves Doggonians. People who don't have bad taste and are horrible people.

The Benefits of Being a Doggonian:Pupper Senses
Doggonians have excellent senses. Most of the time this works in their favor, letting them sense things normally unseen by many races. This can be used against them though and they are weak against sound based attacks.

Doggonians are pretty awesome. Just by being born a Doggonian you have a natural inclination towards investigation and a keen insight on people's true motives. Also you are very perceptive. Do with these skills what you will.
You also get a +2 in Dex and Cha as a medium sized Doggonian.

Blessed of Reynard
You start play with a 'Sigil of Reynard'
A Sigil of Reynard is not so rare an item, often held by travelers and orphans making their way in the world. The Sigil is always made of silver and can be obtained for free if one is able to be granted access to one of the way points to a temple of Reynard. They are also given away as tokens of appreciation for favors done. Most followers of Reynard who worship the good Dog as their main Deity have a 'Sigil of Reynard,' often using it to clasp their cloaks or have it pinned in another prominent fashion.
