Homebrew Capra Species Details
Sweet Caretakers
Ontop a frosty mountain, lies a cabin. Inside a Capra prepares food for her guests. As she pours each of them a warm cup of milk, she takes note of their plates to insure none need refilling. Turning back to her chair she sits down with her own plate and begins to eat whilst watching the light of the flames dance on her guests faces. She loves having guests, especially mortal ones. Her guests in the feywilds were much too chaotic and well wild. It had been three hundred years since she had left her dwelling within those crazed lands. She quickly finishes her food and grabs her book in which she wrote the grand tales of all the adventurers that visited her humble cabin. More than happy to share, and more than happy to listen. The Capra and the adventures sit in a circle and recount their frightful and dangerous encounters in the safety and warmth of a Capra. She promised herself that she would leave the cabin one day and become an adventurer just as her guests and guests before them. She just wanted to be prepared for when her own party comes into trouble.

Capra Traits
Capra are born from the feywilds however the only indicator of this is their ability to reverse their age upon bathing in the full moon and the magically soft nature that is their fur. Other than that Capras are just human goats that can occasionally talk to other animals.Ability Score

Age
A Capras life span is that of an average human (Matures at 18-20 lives until 100) However if a Capra is returned to a place of Fey influence such as the Feywilds itself, upon a full moon. Their youth will be restored by ten years.
Walking Speed
Capras love to run, mostly through open fields and during gentle breezes. Due to their light weight and goat like physique Capra can run and walk a decent speed of 40 feet.
Size
Being both fey and some kind of goat, Capra are rarely seen growing past 6 feet let alone even 5 and a half feet. However if a Capra is born during the peak of a full-moon they can grow up to 8-feet tall. That being said, they typically are small or medium size
Alignments
Capras despite their fluffy and warm exterior are pure concentrated good. Yes contrary to popular belief a seemingly cute and innocent creature does not have secret evil tendencies. Capras are also very lawful because breaking laws hurts peoples feelings. Evil Capra are rare and typically only occur if someone shaves their fur off, dirties their fur, touches fur without permission, anything that hurts fur, fur.
Weight
Capras are fairly light, the fluff gives the illusion of heavy weight. Typically a Capra will weigh 80-200lbs. Plus an additional 10-20lbs of goat fluff.
I am Goat
Your goat like physique allows you to climb up and travel across rough planes and linear surfaces with ease, moving just as fast as you would walking. Capras even have the ability to jump half their walking speed upward (20feet base), however jumping too high can result in minor damage even if they have strong legs (reduces fall damage by one hit die).
One of The Herd:
Being a Capra has its perks, you are able to speak to animals and understand them completely for ten minutes. Whether this is because you are a creature of fey or a goat scholars have yet to decide. Take a nap (short rest) to use this ability again.
Embrace The Fluff:
Assuming you are a good Capra and maintain the quality of your fur; by allowing others to appreciate and embrace your fluff you can grant them a smidgen of healing. This is highly practiced by other Capra within their society as a form of greeting, as the great fluffiness grants the embraced comfort. A Capra allowing a non-capra to “fluff” their “fluff” is a sign of trust. Upon allowing a creature to hug you they heal +1 health point. This can be used any number of times for any creature however a creature can only embrace the fluff and gain its benefits once per day.
