Homebrew Deerfolk Species Details

The proud, yet reclusive deerfolk are often found in villages within deep forests. They tend to be harsh toward outsiders, as the outside world does not treat their people nor their homes well. Many of them spend their whole lives dedicated to one craft, such as smithing, enchanting, or magic, and are sometimes sought out by outsiders in desperate need. Most outsiders who seek their help predictably return empty-handed. A deerfolk out in the open world often draws significant attention from the public, as their reclusive nature almost always keeps them local to their villages.

Deerfolk Traits

Deerfolk are blessed from birth with a connection to nature, and would do well learning nature-based magic. Deerfolk do especially well when working in a natural environment, but are regarded as exotic and may often draw attention to themselves.
