Homebrew Bejuk Species Details

Ability Score Increase. Your Wisdom score increases by 1, and a different ability score of your choice increases by 2. A bejuk is always expected to become the apprentice of a crafts-person, hunter, trader, lorekeeper, scout, warrior, or caretaker so that their abilities can be specialized by their early 20s.

Age. Bejuk mature in their early teens and live a bit over a century, typically between 125 and 135 years.

Alignment. Most bejuk cultures preach social neutrality as a virtue. The fact that they interact with as many races as they can further reinforces it as a necessity. Even if a bejuk becomes evil, lawful, good, or chaotic, they will usually keep some attributes of their neutral upbringing.

Size. Bejuk heights vary greatly between 5 and 7 feet tall, and shorter ones are known to have larger horns, on average. Regardless of your specific dimensions, your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Baubles. You have proficiency with your choice of jeweler's tools, weaver's tools, or woodcarver's tools. Using these tools, you can spend 1 hour and 2 sp worth of raw materials to craft a Tiny bauble worth 3 sp, such as a string of beads, a clothing patch, or an earring. If a creature willingly accepts one of these baubles from you as a gift, you gain advantage on the first Charisma check you make to influence that creature within the next minute. You can gain this benefit no more than once per day per creature.

Herd's Resolve. While you are within 20 feet of a friendly creature that isn't incapacitated, you have advantage on saving throws against being frightened. Additionally, when a creature within 20 feet of you makes a saving throw against being frightened, you can use your reaction to grant it advantage on the roll.

Stotting. When you make a standing long or high jump, you jump as if you had made a running start. Additionally, your jump height is doubled, which often helps with mounting creatures that are much larger than you.

Tamer's Touch. You have proficiency in the Animal Hand-ling skill. Additionally, you can cast animal friendship using this trait. Once you cast it, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for it.

Languages. You know how to speak, read, and write Common, Bejuk, and two other standard languages of your choice. Most people hear the Bejuk tongue as a gibberish dialect of Common. In reality, it is a sublanguage composed of idioms, metaphors, slang, and other figures of speech that require months of daily exposure to understand fully.
