Homebrew Somathian Species Details
“Somathians are the accursed, unholy hell-spawn of Elves and Demons. This unnatural matrimony comes about when Demons raid remote Elven villages. Somathians themselves however, are truly something to behold, as they can grow rather tall, and display features of both parents; from the horns and tail of their demon parent, to the slender yet well-toned physique of their elven parent.” Your mixed heritage gives you access to both natural, and infernal abilities as a result of thousands of years of existence.
