Homebrew Beastkin Species Details
Beastkin are thought to be separate race from most humanoids but they are humans born with a varied degree of animal influence (From fur bodies and animalistic skulls to no fur, tails, ears, teeth and claws). This affliction of nature is extremely rare outside of exclusively Beastkin mating where the affliction is passed down from one parent, In rare cases a child born with no affliction is normally left as a orphan in a town with unafflicted (normal) humans. Beastkin come in all varieties of mammalian creatures taking on attributes and strengths of their animal affliction. size, weight, and other physical aspects change depending on the level of manifestation (The greater the manifestation the higher your status among Beastkin) although other than unafflicted children the severity of the affliction does not change it's power.
