Homebrew Cherub Species Details
Unlike most races, Cherubs are not born but created. When a god has taken notice of a child that’s not long for life they may have them reborn as a Cherub.
Cherubs are divine attendees of their god and therefore no longer age past the point of their “rebirth”.
Still imbued with the innocence of a child, their alignment will typically be Lawful Good, though their perception may change after having spent centuries seeing the worst in people.
Cherubs will have a strong connection to their god, often receiving information from them in various forms.
