Homebrew Dune-Scorched Species Details

Dhaomeng is a vengeful god, not to be trifled with or tested. The Dune-Scorched learned this the hard way. Dune-Scorched are not one race, but are the former inhabitants of a desert city who's name is loft to time. Dhaomeng was offended by their refusal to worship him in his own domain, and so he destroyed their city. He made the desert so unbearably hot that they would have died. However, Dhaomeng decided to bind their souls to their bones, keeping them alive as warnings.

There were a few different races that inhabited this city. You can tell the differences between who they used to be based on the color of the orbs where their eyes used to be in their skull. The humans yellow orbs, the elves have blue orbs, and the half-orcs have green orbs. 

There is no known age limit of the Dune-Scorched, and it seems that they can either die of their own volition by releasing their souls from their bones, or by being killed.

Dune-Scorched Traits

Being stripped of their skin and having their souls transferred to their bones was very traumatic to the Dune-Scorched, and stripped them of nearly all of their memories and much of their personality. They've had to reinvent themselves, but they do retain some of their previous skill.

Bare-Bones Necessities

No Lungs- Dune-Scorched don't need to breathe, and are unable of doing so.

No Stomach- Dune-Scorched have no need to eat drink, or consume in any way. If they do eat, the food disappears to where their stomach would be.

Lessened Tiring- Due to the fact that their bodies don't need to regain energy in the same way, Dune-Scorched only need to enter a dormant, but conscious, state for 4 hours a day.

Skeletal Body

Dune Scorched are proficient in Intimidation and Sleight of Hand.

Lesson Learned

Dune Scorched have learned and grown from their mistakes, and try to be good and wise people.
