Homebrew Dolmati Species Details

Forgotten Origin:  The Dolmati was once categorized as a sub-species of Tiefling and hated just as much; though nobody knew for sure where the unique crystaline features came from.  However, once the knowledge that their bodies could be used for making magical items and weapons, the Dolmati were hunted almost to extinction wiping out any history that might have survived about their true origin.

Appearance: These medium build creatures have bodies that are very similar to humans, where average heights range from five to seven feet and bodies are slim and wiry.  However, that's where similarities stop. Dolmati are often found to have jewel tinted skin that is as smooth and cold and a polished stone, along with diamond hard horns, teeth, nails, and bones.  Their crystal "horns" can grow in forms of two, four, or six along the front and sides of the skull giving some of them and almost dragon like appearance.  The more horns they possess, the stronger their innate magic ability is.  They also tend to have whip like tails that grow a small spike-like crystal grows for defense and close range attacks.  Their teeth and nails are almost identical to diamonds being crystal clear and nearly indestructible.

Cautious but Hopeful:  Even though this race has been known to hide as far away from other races as possible, a rare few do go out into the world hoping to find relics that contain pieces of their ancestors.  They also hope to one day be able to come out of the shadows, and find a way to become part of average society again, sending out their young ones to become powerful adventurers and famous leaders.

Dolmati Traits

Fear and caution are all these dark dwelling creatures know as they are usually hunted down by magic users and hunters looking to make a quick buck. Dolmati, widely regarded for the beautiful crystal horns, diamond hard teeth and bone, and shimmering jewel toned skin that all hold magical properties tend to stay away from the over world and instead live in abandoned mines and cave systems too deep for most races to find.

Diamond Resiliance

Because of super hard bones and skin, blunt force attacks deal you half damage for ten hits before becoming full damage.  At level 10, the amount of hits double before taking full damage, and at level 15, all blunt force attacks deal half damage.

Innate Sorcery

Much like the Draconic Bloodline, this ability allows the Dolmati become a sorcerer and have a high proficiency in the Arcanic arts.
