Homebrew Yeti Species Details

Your yeti character has the following racial traits.

Ability Score Increase. Your Strength score increases by 1, and your Constitution score increases by 1.

Age. Yeti do not live for very long, their savage nature leading them to mature quickly, around the age of 5, and live for a short amount of time, with the eldest yetis only reaching their mid forties.

Alignment. Yetis are brutal and savage, with only a rare few of them able to stay calm in a fight and when confronted with laws, making them usually chaotic.

Size. Yetis are huge compared to smaller races such as the humans, being around 7 or 8 feet tall, and weighing over twice as much as humans. Your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Climbing. You have a climbing speed of 30 feet.

Thick Fur. You are resistant to cold damage.

Fear of Fire. If you have taken fire damage before the start of your next turn, you have disadvantage on saving throws against being frightened.

Darkvision. Your kin has always stalked the dark mountainsides, looking for an easy kill in the nighttime. 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.

Snow Camouflage. You have advantage on Stealth checks made to hide in snowy terrain.

Chilling Gaze. As an action, you can target one creature that you can see within 30 ft. If the target can see you, it must make a Constitution saving throw against this magic or take 1d8 cold damage and have its speed reduced by 10 feet until the start of your next turn. The DC of this saving throw is 8 + your proficiency bonus.

Powerful Build. You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common, Yeti, and Giant. Yeti is a very simple language, mimicking the sounds of the frozen north combined with the rapid pounding of fists and feet. It has no written form.

"When the wind howls in the dead of night, on a frozen tundra mountain, but yet there's no wind to be howling... You know the yetis are coming."
