Homebrew Highland Cow Species Details
The Highland (Scottish Gaelic: Bò Ghàidhealach; Scots: Hielan coo) is a Scottish breed of rustic cattle. It originated in the Scottish Highlands and the Outer Hebrides islands of Scotland and has long horns and a long shaggy coat. It is a hardy breed, bred to withstand the intemperate conditions in the region. The first herd-book dates from 1885; two types – a smaller island type, usually black, and a larger mainland type, usually dun – were registered as a single breed. It is reared primarily for beef, and has been exported to several other countries.[1]
Bulls can weigh up to 800 kg (1,800 lb) and cows up to 500 kg (1,100 lb).
Highland Cow Traits
Sheep overwhelmingly have these traits.Gaelic Charm
The blood of your Scottish ancestors, the ones written in legends, pulses through your veins, enabling you to intimidate those who dare to defy you.
- You gain proficiency in Intimidation if you did not have it already, and double proficiency if you already have it.
- When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one attack to try and frighten a foe. When you do so, choose one creature that you can see within 30 feet of you. If the creature can see or hear you, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier) or be frightened of you until the start of your next turn. This effect ends if the creature ends its turn out of line of sight or more than 60 feet away from you. If the creature succeeds on its saving throw, you can't use this feature on that creature again for 24 hours.
