Homebrew Deerfolk Species Details

The deer-folk's appearance are mostly human, but with some replacements and added things. For example, instead of regular feet they have hooves, and the fur blends from the the lower calf until the hoof. They also have antlers, some have uneven and tiny antlers, but others have big, majestic antlers. Instead of human, rounded ears, they have the ears of a deer. Most of the time they're down to the side, but when excited, scared, nervous, or shocked they shoot up and look like pointed elf ears, but, furrier of course.

The deer-folk are a rare race to find, they hide out in forests and have small camps. Some camps have more magic than others, and have drastic difference in amounts of population. Most camps have evolved into mini towns, but have been limited of course. The more evolved camps had usually two big buildings that were like inns, except the rooms were their permanent home. There's a bar at the bottom of more wealthy camps' buildings. But, those that are brave go out into towns and sometimes even big cities. Although that's a very rare occurrence.
