Homebrew Gemfolk Species Details

The Gemfolk are a race that long ago, used to be very different. So long, that they have even forgotten what races they originally stemmed from. All that drives this species is their greed for wealth.

Gemfolk Traits

The Gemfolk share some traits with each other, due to their undying greed.

Ability Score Increase

The Gemfolk are greedy in nature, and as such, have developed many ways to obtain money from anything, and anyone. Most of them resort to dirty tricks, or stealing. Your Dexterity score increases by two, and your Constitution scores increases by one.

Age

The curse that was placed upon the Gemfolk expanded their lifespan, as to make them atone for their greed. Most gemfolk mature around age 20, and live to be around 500 years old.

Alignment

Most gemfolk are greedy and sinful, and as such, tend to be more evil. Most gemfolk are independent, and as such, are mostly of a chaotic alignment.

Darkvision

Due to your eyes being reflective and brighter, you have enhanced vision in the dark. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Mass Greed

You have proficiency with the Sleight of Hand skill.

Manipulative

You learn the Friends cantrip. You also know the Charm person spell. You can use it once per short rest without using a spell slot. The spell casting ability is Dexterity.

Golden Core

Due to the inherent nature of the curse bestowed upon the Gemfolk, their bodies are made of the object they craved so. Normally, their skin would flake off normally, creating a gold piece, but they can forcefully rip their skin off and make more gold appear.
Every day, part of your golden skin will flake off, creating a gold piece. 

If wanted, the user can rip their flesh off of any part of their body to create 1d6 + 2 extra gold pieces, but you take the total amount in force damage.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common.
