Homebrew Amazon Species Details

Physical Description

Amazons are large, well-built humanoids with powerful builds. They are entirely female, and a member of any race would find them beautiful. Their skin colours are as varied as humans' are, ranging from incredibly dark-skinned to borderline transparent, and their hair usually tends to be white, black, or gray.

Personality

Amazons are a very proud but kindhearted sharing race. They often spend their time together crafting or decorating their armour, making food, and most commonly training in the arenas. Amazons also love to hunt for sport and pull the occasional prank.

Society

Amazons love to interact with other races, most commonly trading and adventuring. They can get along with almost all races, excluding most evil races since those races tend to be extremely self-interested. Most amazons are not attracted to men with the exception of the Gargareans, but the rare love interest does arise. Most races are fond of the amazons for their smithing abilities that are good enough to rival even the dwarves in most respects. Though amazonian craftsmanship more commonly has elaborate designs and is often decorated with pelts or feathers of monsters they have slain.
