Homebrew Druin Species Details

"RABBITS"

Druins are tall slender humanoids that appear human except for the fact they they have rabbit ears and have shockingly beautiful eyes that shift in color and brightness. Because of this other creatures often refer to them as "rabbits". This term is not exclusively meant as an insult but it often is meant that way when dealing with more prejudiced beings, so Druins often will take offence to the term. Druins apart from their rabbit ears also have one ability that sets them apart from other humanoids. They have the ability of prescience which allows them to see 3 seconds into the future at all times making them almost impossible to surprise and extremely hard to hit. 

A DYING BREED 

They are extremely rare. They are ageless, meaning they cannot grow old or weak and they are able to die in battle But their rarity, due to what some believe to be a long forgotten curse, stems from the fact that female druins can only give birth to one offspring in their entire lifetime. Other races also can't give birth to a Druin child the result being very close to a human. So children, especially daughters, are precious to Druins and they protect them at all costs. It is considered bad luck to kill a Druin as they are so rare and there is an old legend that killing one could cause you to be cursed.Legend says they came to this world from a long destroyed realm that next to nothing is known about.

ARTIFICER HISTORY

When Druins came from their realm they were not defenseless. They had an arguably better understanding of magic and an inarguable understanding of technology. This knowledge which they kept as a closely guarded secret was used to create skyships, golem armies and many more magical artifacts and weapons that other creatures of the time would be hard pressed to even imagine. This gave them an advantage against any would be foe in the short term but eventually their dwindling numbers sent most of them into hiding and the rest to wander alone. 

Names

Druins don't have a rule for how their names are chosen as there have been many famous Druins with no one name in common. But the most common way for Druins to choose their names is by using a naming structure that usually consists of an adjective followed by a noun all as one word. Some famous Druin names are; Lastleaf, Vespian, Freecloud, Astra. 

 

Druin Traits

Druins while all unique in personality and experience all have certain traits in common.

Ageless

Druins do not age past their prime, they appear as healthy as they treat their body and never grow old. They can only be killed by outside causes. 

Ability Score Increase

 Druin's long lifespans make them particularly wise.  

Prescience

Prescience is an ability all druins have to see into the future by three seconds, it grants you the ability to know what people are going to say and do. If a fight were to break out or if a creature where to become hostile or try to attack you from stealth you would know about it a few moments before it happened. That even extends to being able to know that you will be ambushed but it will not show you where the attackers are if they were to show themselves. It does not give you enough notice to warn your allies however. This also makes you able to see incoming attacks making you harder to hit.
