Homebrew Drahki - updated Species Details

Slender and Graceful

With their unearthly grace and fine features, female drahki appear hauntingly beautiful to humans and members of many other races. They are slightly shorter than humans on average, ranging from well under 5 feet tall to just over 6 feet. They are more slender than humans, weighing only 100 to 145 pounds. The females also have a magnificent set of horns matching to the color of their draconic ancestry.

Female Drahki coloration encompasses the normal human range and also includes skin in shades of copper, bronze, bluish-white, and a similarly light shade of the color associated with their draconic ancestry, hair of green or blue, and eyes like pools of liquid gold, silver, or any of the other corresponding colors of their ancestry. They favor elegant clothing in bright colors, and they enjoy simple yet lovely jewelry.

Proud Dragon Kin

Male Drahki look very much like dragons standing erect in humanoid form, though they lack wings or a tail. The first dragonborn and elf hybrid had scales of vibrant hues matching the colors of their dragon kin, but most have been interbred to be more dull, mundane colors.. They are tall and strongly built, often standing close to 6½ feet tall and weighing 300 pounds or more. Their hands and feet are strong, talonlike claws with four fingers and a thumb on each hand.

The blood of a particular type of dragon runs very strong through some Drahki clans. These drahki often boast scales that more closely match those of their dragon ancestor—bright red, green, blue, or white, lustrous black, or gleaming metallic gold, silver, brass, copper, or bronze.

Draconic Ancestry

 

Drahki - updated Traits

Your Drahki character has a variety of natural abilities, the result of mixing the fey and draconic bloodlines.

Ability Score Increase

Your Dexterity score increases by 2 and your Wisdom score by 1.

Age

Drahki reach physical maturity at about the same age as humans but typically can live to be 750 years old.

Alignment

Drahki pull from their Draconic nature, making them loyal, wise, and dependable. As such, they lean strongly toward the aspects of law. Being from very secluded areas with very little mixture of race, the Drahki are content with the teachings of their gods and thus tend to fall into the more Neutral ideals. 

Size

Female Drahki take their height from their Elven blood and range from under 5 to over 6 feet tall and have slender builds, while the male Drahki take their height from their Draconic blood and range from just under 6 to just over 7 feet tall and have strong builds. Your size is Medium regardless of your gender.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Darkvision

Accustomed to dark jungles and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Fey Ancestry

You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.

Trance

Drahki don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common, Elvish, and Draconic. Elvish is fluid, with subtle intonations and intricate grammar. Elven literature is rich and varied, and their songs and poems are famous among other races. Many bards learn their language so they can add Elvish ballads to their repertoires. Draconic is thought to be one of the oldest languages and is often used in the study of magic. The language sounds harsh to most other creatures and includes numerous hard consonants and sibilants.
