Homebrew Froyuka Species Details

A commonly hostile race that prides itself both on intellect and strength. Often capable of great feats and shows of intelligence, boasting their superiority over other races. Whilst most Froyuka were long known scholars that practiced and perfected their arts, there were many of this species that boasted strength much higher than their intellect. These Froyuka would travel the globe facing battle after battle whilst taking every scar and bruise as a mark of their strength. More marks on a strength focused Froyuka often led to them being held higher respected among their peers.

Just because the two variants of the race exist does not at all mean that each side only have either strength OR intellect. In fact, Froyukians were once well known for their capable capacity to both overpower and outsmart enemies dilligently. 

Whilst Froyuka are considered Medium size creatures, they are usually on the higher end of this spectrum and come most commonly between 7-8ft tall.

Shifting

As a bonus action, you can assume a more bestial appearance. This can be done for up to 20 minutes between short rests safely. Every 10 minutes over this results in 1 INT damage until the next long rest. Maximum of 3 INT damage can be healed per long rest and 1 per short. When you shift, you gain temporary hit points equal to your level + your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1 temporary hit point). You can change back on a bonus action and are forced to change back once you are downed.

You cannot cast spells or speak whilst shifted (unless someone is able to talk with animals/beasts). Your size also increases to Large. You also get +3 STR whilst in Beast Form.

Final Frozen Flurry

Upon being lowered to 0 hit points, once per long rest their bodies will defensively emit a frozen cloud made up of their own frozen blood. This cloud will require a Dex save and upon fail will do 4d4 Cold Damage as well as inflicting the enemy with the Blinded condition. Upon a successful save, they will take half as much damage.
