Races of Telikos

Foreward These races are from my own homebrew setting, and the lore and flavor attached to each might not be suited for your setting; however, feel free to use these in your own setting so long as you credit me and link back to this document. This Document will receive frequent updates as the campaign I run in the Telikos setting continues; this is so that my players don't have access to some races before they have been revealed to them in the actual game, as some races are tied into important events within the game being run and others might end up going extinct over the course of the game depending on player choice. Furthermore, there are four sections: Surface, Eal'Amaj, Monstrous, and Extraplanar. The Surface section details the Races found on the surface world of Telikos, an archetypal fantasy world. The Eal'Amaj section refers to the Inner World of Telikos; during the events of the Mind Flayer Incursion it was revealed to the surface at large that the interior of their planet was in fact hollow with a potent Mana Sun at its core that had an adverse effect on any of the Surface races with prolonged exposure. Monstrous races refer to the former monster races that spawned from dungeons that have become flesh and blood creatures with true sapience due to the aftermath of the Mind Flayer Incursion. Finally, the Extraplanar races are versions of Races known in places like the Forgotten Realms who have used the powerful Spelljammer ships to sail the sea of stars and arrive on Telikos in the wake of the Mind Flayer Incursion. 1 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

Surface Races Common Races Centaur (Telikos) Noble Warriors Centaur society values honesty, justice, and hard work above all else. As a result, they tend to be rather uptight folk who enforce their societal codes onto others, even when not in Centaur territory. Still, this makes them reliable allies; a Centaur will never turn their back on a friend or ally, no matter what, due to their code of honor that each centaur holds. Natural Calvary Centaurs are naturally capable as calvary, making them a fearsome foe in open terrain. Couple that with a tendency towards becoming Paladins and Clerics and you have some of the most righteous, holy, powerful warriors on Telikos. There's just one tiny problem: they can't handle inclines or uneven terrain very well, and you can forget about ladders. Still, a Centaur Calvary is something so powerful many human nobles take on Centaur knights as commanders of their forces or as personal bodyguards. Stubborn Warriors The ultimate downside of the righteous code of honor a centaur follows is that they tend to be stubborn to a fault. Unmoving in their oaths and unwavering in their beliefs, they can be just as much a hindrance as a help, and many view them as too "straight edge" to be good company; where many adventurers will take time off drinking with their friends, centaur will spend free time helping others or meditating on their codes. 2 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

Centaur (Telikos) Traits As a Centaur from Telikos, you have the following racial traits: Ability Score Increase. Increase your Strength score by 2 and your Wisdom score by 1. Creature Type. You count as both a Humanoid and Beast for the purposes of spells and effects. Speed. Your walking speed is 40 feet. Age. Centaurs mature and age at about the same rate as humans. Size. Centaurs stand between 6 and 7 feet tall, with their equine bodies reaching about 4 feet at the withers. Your size is Medium. Hooves. Your hooves are natural melee weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with them, you deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike. Charge. If you move at least 30 feet straight toward a target and then hit it with a melee weapon attack on the same turn, you can immediately follow that attack with a bonus action, making one attack against the target with your hooves. Equine Build. You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push or drag. In addition, any climb that requires hands and feet is especially difficult for you because of your equine legs. When you make such a climb, each foot of movement costs you 4 extra feet, instead of the normal 1 extra foot. Honorable. You have proficiency in the Persuasion skill. Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Sylvan. Sylvan is a flowing string of words that sounds almost like singing, and is spoken by those who bear the blood of Belua, the goddess of nature on Telikos. 3 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

Dwarf (Telikos) Hardy Craftsmen Dwarves on Telikos are well known for their armor and sculptures. They're also known for just how hardy they are, able to drink tankard after tankard of ale and keep upright where other races would pass out. Still, this leads to a volatile combination; a drunk dwarf can hear insults of their craft behind every word spoken to them, and Dwarven bar fights are legendary in their ferocity and collateral damage. Rivals of the Elves Before the Three-Way War, Dwarves were fierce rivals with the Elves. Now, the Elves have prioritized Humanity as the bigger threat, but the pride of the Dwarves won't let them accept this. They act as if the Elves still hold that old grudge, just as they do. This can lead to Dwarves getting furious when an Elf ignores them. Reclusive Storytellers Dwarves tend to stick to their mountain homes, smithing and sculpting away. This isn't just wasted time however; each piece of work tells a story, and Dwarven records are some of the best-kept in the world. Through magic and stonecutting, Dwarves have preserved knowledge that even some elves have forgotten. If you want to know the history of Telikos, Dwarves are second only to Triassids in the depth of their knowledge. 4 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

Speed. Your walking speed is 25 feet. Age. Dwarves mature at the same rate as humans, but they're considered young until they reach the age of 50. On average, they live about 350 years. Size. Dwarves stand between 4 and 5 feet tall and average about 150 pounds. You are Medium or Small. You choose the size when you select this race. Darkvision. Accustomed to life underground, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. 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. Dwarven Resilience.

You gain proficiency in the History Skill, and whenever you make an Intelligence (History) check related to a piece of art or a suit of armor, you add double your proficiency bonus to the check, instead of your normal proficiency bonus. Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Dwarvish. Dwarvish is full of hard consonants and guttural sounds, and those characteristics spill over into whatever other language a dwarf might speak. 5 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

High Elves (Telikos) Advanced Artificers On Telikos, no race is more advanced than the High Elves. After devastating losses to humanity in the past, the Elves set out to prepare in case humanity opted to push its advantage. As a result, they mastered Divination magic beyond any other race and invinted Artifice to further augment their armies. This resulted in the invention of many magical devices, helped by the fact the Elven capital is built upon a large Mana Vein within the planet, ancient rituals used to prevent a dungeon from forming and to instead use that power to fuel their advanced civilization. High Elf society has led them to become quiet, stoic, and easily irritated due to how busy it is in their lands. Firearm Experts A result of their massive surge in advancement, the firearm is an elven invention that uses magic runes to ignite flame that launches metal projectiles at alarming speed. While they sell their so-called Flintshots to the wider world, they hoard more potent and advanced weaponry to themselves, such as their powerful Boltshot rifles that can take the head off any humanoid from a terrifying distance when used by a skilled Elven marksman. These advanced weapons are tightly guarded, and so much as letting another race hold a firearm of this type is punishable by death. Guardians of the Future Elves have mastered divination to the point a powerful group of mages constantly watch the future to prevent disaster. The elves have legends of a prophecy that says if their advanced weapons were to ever reach the wider world, a war that makes the Three-Way War look like child's play would erupt and the world would burn to ash. As such, Elves have trained Kill Teams that are sent out whenever an advanced firearm is leaked to the lesser races. They not only wipe out the traitor who shared the technology, but also every single person who bore witness to that weapon. It's all but a rumor to the other races however, as the kill teams are so efficient, so much better trained than any soldier in any other race's army, that they leave nary a trace of their presence. 6 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

High Elf (Telikos) Traits As a High Elf from Telikos, you have the following racial traits: Ability Score Increase. Increase your Dexterity Score by 2, and your Intelligence Score by 1. Creature Type. You are a Humanoid. Speed. Your walking speed is 30 feet. Age. Although elves reach physical maturity at about the same age as humans, the elven understanding of adulthood goes beyond physical growth to encompass worldly experience. An elf typically claims adulthood and an adult name around the age of 100 and can live to be 750 years old. Size. Elves range from under 5 to over 6 feet tall and have slender builds. Your size is Medium. Darkvision. Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. 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. Magic Resistance. You have advantage on saving throws you make to avoid or end the charmed condition on yourself. Trance. You don't need to sleep, and magic can't put you to sleep. You can finish a long rest in 4 hours if you spend those hours in a trancelike meditation, during which you retain consciousness. This grants you the same benefits as a human who gets 8 hours of sleep. Elf Firearm Training. You have proficiency with Firearms. Magic Messenger. You know the Message Cantrip, and may cast it without material components. Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common, Elvish, and one language of your choosing. Elvish is fluid, with subtle intonations and intricate grammar. Elven literature is rich and varied, and their songs and poems are famous among other races. Many bards learn their language so they can add Elvish ballads to their repertoires. 7 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy. Not approved/endorsed by Wizards.

Human (Telikos) Creative Artisans The humans of Telikos are well-known for their creative bent. They value creativity, individuality, and freedom above all else, and this focus has made them well known - for better and for worse - for their art. Human art represents their lineage, and so while pureblood humans - those with brown hair and eyes - will create paintings of great human heroes or statues of warriors in plate, those with mixed blood will instead incorporate artistic styles from any races in their lineage. Perhaps a human with Dwarven heritage will carve hard edges and angles into their sculptures, while a human with elf blood might weave magic into their art. Diverse Bloodlines While pureblooded humans are defined by their relatively plain appearances, bearing brown eyes and brown hair, those with mixed blood often have clear visual quirks; for example, humans with red hair and green eyes have Dwarven blood in their veins, while a blonde would be of elven lineage. As a result, they tend to be looked down upon by other races; such mixing of blood is oftne seen as dilution of potential in their eyes. Humans however view it as an exponential gain and just more free expression. A Violent History Human legend speaks of long lost days where humans were violent savages, pushed to the brink of extinction by the Dwarves and Elves, and that to save themselves they lowered themselves to becoming monsters in humanoid form. This war - known as the Great War or Three-Way War - has mostly been relegated to the history books by humanity, who have long since distanced themselves from any animosity due to their relatively short lifespans. Still, some of that ferocity remains in the raw determination and drive that humans have; if a human wants something, they'll get it - no matter what it takes. It's that ambition that keeps the Elves at bay - they know another war with humanity, even for all their advancements, would spell disaster. 8 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

Human (Telikos) Traits As a Human from Telikos, you have the following racial traits: Ability Score Increase. You may increase any ability score by 2, and any other ability score by 1. Alternatively, you may increase any three ability scores by 1. You may not increase the same ability score twice. Creature Type. You are a Humanoid. Speed. Your walking speed is 30 feet. Age. Humans reach adulthood in their late teens and live less than a century. Size. Humans vary widely in height and build, from barely 5 feet to well over 6 feet tall. Regardless of your position in that range, your size is Medium. Artisan. You gain proficiency in the Performance Skill and with one set of Artisan’s Tools of your choice. Human Focus. You gain expertise in either the Performance Skill or a Skill that you are proficient in due to your Background (your choice). Expertise means that your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that Skill. Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and one extra language of your choice. Humans typically learn the languages of other peoples they deal with, including obscure dialects. They are fond of sprinkling their speech with words borrowed from other tongues: Orc curses, Elvish musical expressions, Dwarvish military phrases, and so on. 9 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

Naga (Telikos) Clever Merchants Naga are a clever, merchantile folk. Their society values wealth above all else, but tempered by a sense of fairness - but only towards equals. If you get duped, you aren't an equal - but point out you're being scammed and expect some of the best inventory and prices in the world. Built around a large oasis, their territory is a trading hub between the Triassid and the northern continent. Strange Customs Naga have some odd cultural habits, namely wearing veils or masks that cover the lower half of their face. This is because they have constant glasgow smiles that are part of unhinging jaws. These features are vestigial of course; it is said that early Naga lacked this feature, but when an ancient king tried to betray Belua and swindle her she punished the whole race by giving them these suspicious grins. As such, removing these veils in front of others is a cultural faux pas and if another removes your veil it's considered paramount to sexual assault. Serpentine Tails Naga have long tails that are like that of a snake, and can use them for both mobility and attack. Many Naga warriors mix elegant dancing through Bladesong with deadly blows from their long, muscular tails. They can also coil their tails to launch themselves at alarmin speeds, meaning Naga bandits are quite fearsome and a real danger in the deserts of the southern continent. 10 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

You are a Humanoid. Speed. Your walking speed is 30 feet. Age. Naga enter adulthood as early as 16 years, but live to be around 200 on average. Size. Naga stand about 5 feet tall when upright, but the total length of their bodies, head to tail, ranges from 10 to as much as 20 feet. Your size is Medium. Tail. Your serpentine body is a natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with your tail, you deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier.

Orc (Telikos) Honorable Warriors Orcs on Telikos have a strict feudal structure to their societies, being ruled over by a Shogun. They value honor, dedication, and obedience above all else and treat those who lack discipline with disdain or even hatred. Orcs live in Clans, and as an Orc your dedication is first to your Code, then to your Shogun, then to your Clan, then to others. Master Bladesmiths While Dwarves may craft the finest armor, Orcs craft the finest swords. Their curved blades are crafted with the finest metals and infused with diamond dust which not only makes them gleam in the sunlight but stronger than your average blade and far, far sharper. An Orcish blade is called a KarTaragh, which roughly translates to "Diamond-Folded Blade" in Common. Violent Exiles If an Orc breaks his code of honor, he is branded on the face using a magical brand, cut from his Clan, and exiled from orc lands. These orcs tend to group together and form roaming bands of raiders. These Orcs are feared and with good reason; an Orcish Raider Band is something terrifying to behold. With no code of honor and the fury of honor lost, they take out their anger on any who stand in their way. 12 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

Wood Elves (Telikos) Criminal Exiles Wood Elf society began as a prison for High Elven outcasts long ago. At some point, those Elves and their keepers began to mingle with each other, and eventually a new nation was formed on the southern continent the prisoners had been banished to. Wood Elves tend to be clever like the HouziWong they live near, and have developed a knack for hunting thanks to their relationsihp with the Beastkin. Trackers and Hunters Due to having to live off the land at first, Wood Elves value hunting and marksmanship with the bow as opposed to High Elves who moved on to firearms. Wood Elves often mock their old bretheren, saying firearms lack the skill of a bow and calling them "soft" or "lazy". A wood elf can move silently through the underbrush, leaping out to kill their prey without ever being noticed - and this is how they survive, alongside trading furs and finely-crafted bows with the Orcs, Beastkin, and Houzi-Wong. Crass and Cheeky Wood Elves, being descended from criminals and pirates, have a reputation for having particularly foul mouthes and being known to be rather abrasive. However, this is all just their own unique style of friendliness. What some might see as an insult, they see as a greeting of kinship. Wood Elves are also known for being extremely blunt and borderline insulting, but their arrogance is just another form of that of their cousins to the north. 14 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

Uncommon Races Beastkin Purebloods Rulers of Nature Beastkin Purebloods were the first creations of the nature goddess Belua, and are effectively animals that walk like humans. They are bipedal, but have features like hooves, fur, horns, and claws. Purebloods are called as such because the more diluted a Beastkin's bloodline is, the less like animals they appear. Purebloods have heightened senses and a keen skill at hunting and tracking. Mammalian Men Beastkin Purebloods can only have features of mammals, with the exception of horses, bovines, and apes. Why this is has become a subject of great debate between scholars, but it is theorized that Belua used her power to create the HouziWong, Centaur, and Minotaur separately from the Beastkin for some unknown purpose. The leading theory is that Centaur and Minotaur were placed on the northern continent to give humanity allies, and that Houzi-Wong were placed to help teach the exiled elves that would become the Wood Elves. Proud and Stubborn The Beastkin Purebloods value their hold as nature's greatest warriors, and their pride and stubbornness are unmatched by any except maybe the Dwarves. As such, they tend to be very confrontational when questioned and combined with their fearsome appearances mean that it's not easy to win an argument with a Beastkin Pureblood. 16 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

Beastkin Mixedbloods Man and Beast Beastkin Mixedbloods are those whose bloodline has been diluted by another race. Their appearance varies wildly, with a first-generation mixedblood looking mostly like a Pureblood, all the way to a 5th-generation Mixedblood being more akin to a human with animal ears and a tail. True Hybrids Beastkin Mixedbloods can break the rules when it comes to how they look. This means that a 1st-Generation Mixedblood between a Beastkin and a Harpy could in fact look as a humanoid bird, or a 1st-Generation Mixedblood with merfolk ancestry might be a shark with arms and legs built to walk on land or swim in the seas. True Outcasts Whereas half-elves might find acceptance in a society tied to their lineage, Beastkin Mixedbloods find no such solace without tremendous effort and proof of their worth. Beastkin Purebloods look down upon not only those who would sully their noble blood with that of another race, but also their spawn. As such, Beastkin Mixedbloods tend to live with their non-Beastkin parent. 18 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy. Not approved/endorsed by Wizards.

Half-Elves (Telikos) Walking Between Worlds Half-Elves tend to be the result of oddly deviant behavior from High Elves or just Wood Elves being themselves. As a result, they walk the line between the two races that brought them into the world of Telikos. Some lean into their elven heritage, taking up residence in either the city capital of the High Elves or the waterfront cities of the Wood Elves, while others lean into their non-Elven heritage, whatever that might be. Outcasts and Bridges Despite their mixed blood making them outcasts from one or sometimes both of their parents' societies, sometimes halfelves are viewed as valuable diplomats, a bridge between two races. As a result, there are two types of Half-Elf generally speaking: extremely wealthy, or extremely poor. There are very, very, very few in-betweens for Half-Elves. Mixedblood Might Half-Elves aren't just the result of Elves and Humans intermingling; other races, particularly when it comes to Wood Elves, are frequently part of a Half-Elf's heritage as well. For example, a Half-Elf with a Houzi-Wong parent might have extra body hair or a prehensile monkey tail, or a Half-Elf with a Dwarven parent might inheret the poison-resistant blood of their dwarven parent. This gives them an edge, particularly as Adventurers. Couple this edge with their status as outcasts, and it makes adventuring a no-brain decision for most Half-Elves. 20 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

Half-Orcs (Telikos) Honor and History Half-Orcs tend to struggle to find their place in Orcish society, but those that do prove to be brilliant tacticians and warriors. It is because they struggle that they excel; by being forced to push harder than a full Oorc, it unlocks their true potential. Half-Orcs honor not just their Orcish clan but their non-Orc family and customs as well, walking a line between worlds even more precarious than a Half-Elf. From Blood and Bonds Most Half-Orcs are the children of Orcish diplomats, as they are the ones who see non-Orcs most often and frequently get married to non-Orcs, be it out of love or political obligation. However, exiled Orcs are frequently vile creatures with no honor or sense of right and wrong, and as a result it's not uncommon for such exiles to produce offspring through less savory methods. These Half-Orcs either join up with their Orcish parent's raiding band or strike out to find honor and dignity despite their origins. Clever Warriors Half-Orcs have the advantage of whatever their non-Orcish parent granted them, making them potentially better than Orcs at strategy and politics. As a result, they thrive in both the battlefield and the political arena. Half-Orc politicians are some of the savviest, and Half-Orc Warlords tend to be brutally efficient. This is made worse for those who follow the path of an exile; Half-Orc lead raiders can terrorize entire swathes of continent and result in Adventurers being called to put them down... to debatable success. 22 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

Houzi-Wong Trickster Apes Houzi-Wong are a race of monkey-like humanoids from the southern continent. They have a natural tendency to play pranks on others and cause (usually) harmless trouble, which can make them annoying to some other races. Still, their propensity for shenanigans means they can make for good traveling companions - if you can put up with their arrogance. Philosophy and Comedy As much as Houzi-Wong like a good joke, they're far more fond of long-winded philosophy about things such as the meaning of life, why the gods created them, and other such topics. In fact, much of their philosophical works are shockingly cynical or sarcastic, being rather dark or taking venomous bites at the wealthy elites of the world. Martial Masters Some Houzi-Wong undergo monastic training to quell their innate urges to play pranks on others, learning powerful martial arts in the process. Houzi-Wong specialize with polearms, and this is due to a legend of their kind that the first Emperor of the Houzi-Wong was a man named Sun Wukong who rode upon the clouds and carried a staff that could extend beyond the horizon to strike down his foes. 24 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

Minotaur (Telikos) Society of Duality Minotaur fall into two categories: The Labor Caste and the Battle Caste. The Labor Caste is made up of calm but hardworking individuals who value hard work, effort, and friendliness above all else and make up the work force of Minotaur society. The Battle Caste on the other hand is made up of aggressive, excitable sorts, and they value combat prowess, showmanship, and physical might. A Minotaur chooses a Caste when they reach adulthood, and that determines their future. Farmers and Warriors Those who enter the Labor Caste tend to be farmers, raising crops to trade with the other societies on the northern continent of Telikos; the Humans, Dwarves, Harengan, and Centaurs. This bustling trade makes for good money and a good source of food as well. The Battle Caste however earn money as mercenaries or gladiators; many a minotaur has faced off against the Triassids to the south, and they frequently fight for show in their own homeland. Calm or Cantankerous Minotaur generally act in accordance with their Caste; rather, they choose their Caste based on their personality. Calm, quiet, hard-working types favor the Labor Caste, and are rarely seen outside of Minotaur territory. Battle Caste Minotaur are more frequently seen in other lands, and color the general perception of Minotaur unfavorably sometimes with their loud, brash, and courageous personalities. Seeing Red As revenge for the acts performed upon him by Belua, goddess of nature, the god of Man, Vyr, cursed the Minotaur with a near-uncontrollable hatred of artificial reds, indicative of the blindfold Belua is said to have used to bind Vyr's sight. Even the calmest minotaur will grow furious, so fabricated items in the color red are outright banned in the Minotaur territories. Natural reds don't bother them however; flowers and the like. Why this is, nobody knows, but it is suspected that it's due to Belua's influence being able to counteract the curse to some degree. 26 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

Rare Races Artiforged Artifical Beings Artiforged can be created in two ways: through ritiual sacrifice of living creatures to imbue an empty shell with life, or through using magic crystal and mana to achieve the same result. The former is the origin of the race, but the latter is the method that was decided on going forward and proposed by one of the High Elf Council's most powerful members. Stalwart Defenders Created as protectors, the Artiforged exist to defend Elven territory from threats without and within. As a result, they only fight if forced and do so defensively. They dislike instigating conflict, and prefer to be defenders; this is simpler for them, as questions of morality are troublesome ones for Artiforged given their origins. Curious and Gullible Due to their method of creation and relative new place in the world of Telikos, Artiforged tend to be curious folk who will often ask questions about things they don't understand hoping to expand their knowledge. However, they're also prone to believing whatever they're told, which has already led to incidents where Artiforged have to have something properly explained to them because they were tricked. Alien Forms Artiforged lack primary and secondary sexual characteristics; the only way to tell a male and female Artiforged apart are their tertiary features; males are generally taller with broad shoulders and narrow hips, while females have more narrow shoulders, wider hips, and are generally shorter in stature. Artiforged are created with a specific gender and are built with the appropriate body shape and vocal crystal. Beyond appearances and the sound of their voice, there is little to differentiate a male and female Artiforged in terms of personality and ability. 28 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

Artiforged Traits As an Artiforged, you have the following racial traits: Ability Score Increase. Increase your Constitution Score by 2, and your Strength or Intelligence Score by 1. Creature Type. You count as both a Humanoid and Construct for the purposes of spells and effects. If a spell states that it would not work on a Construct, it does work for you. Speed. Your walking speed is 30 feet. Age. The maximum artiforged lifespan remains a mystery due to how young the race is; so far, Artiforged have shown no signs of deterioration due to age or magic used to test deterioration based on aging. You are immune to magical aging effects. Size. Artiforged range from 6 to 8 feet tall. Your size is Medium. Constructed Resillience. You were created to have remarkable fortitude, represented by the following benefits: You have advantage on saving throws against being poisoned, and you have resistance to poison damage.

When you take a long rest, you must spend at least six hours in an inactive, motionless state, rather than sleeping. In this state, you appear inert, but it doesn't render you unconscious, and you can see and hear as normal. Integrated Protection. Your body has built-in defensive layers, which can be enhanced with armor: You gain a +1 bonus to Armor Class. You can don only armor with which you have proficiency. To don armor other than a shield, you must incorporate it into your body over the course of 1 hour, during which you remain in contact with the armor. To doff armor, you must spend 1 hour removing it. You can rest while donning or doffing armor in this way. While you live, the armor incorporated into your body can't be removed against your will. Specialized Design. You gain one skill proficiency and one tool proficiency of your choice. Alternatively, you are proficient with one type of weapon with the Versatile property of your choice.

Half-Dragon A Rare Sight Like Dragons, Half-Dragons are exceptionally rare to see. Unlike Dragons, Half-Dragons are far, far rarer due to the circumstances behind their origins. Legend says only a single Half-Dragon exists at any given time, and that the appearance of one is the prelude to calamity. The truthfulness of this is unknown, but the last known Half-Dragon to appear tormented the world for 1000 years befre being slain by a great hero. Dragon and Man Half-Dragons have large, sharp claws and talons, powerful wings, and long armored tails. They walk upright like a man, but act as a Dragon, breathing their element and bringing destruction in their wake. Little is known about them aside from how they appear, but records of the destruction they've wrought are legendary. Winds of Destruction Where Half-Dragons wander, death and destruction are sure to follow. This is the only known factor about half-dragons; almost everything else is speculation or mystery. 30 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

Half-Dragon Traits As a Half-Dragon, you have the following racial traits: Ability Score Increase. Increase your Strength Score by 2, and your Constitution or Charisma Score by 1. Creature Type. You count as both a Humanoid and Dragon for the purposes of spells and effects. Speed. Your walking speed is 30 feet. Age. Half-Dragons live exceptionally long lives due to their dragon blood. They age normally until the age they would hit adulthood of their non-draconic parent, then seemingly stop aging. The only time a Half-Dragon has been found dead is due to battle, so in theory they could live forever. Size. Half-Dragons are about a foot bigger than Humans on average. Your size is Medium. Flight. You have a Flying speed equal to your walking speed thanks to your large wings. You may only use this Flying speed if you aren’t wearing Heavy Armor or a Shield. Dragon Ancestor. You have draconic ancestry. Choose one type of dragon from the Draconic Ancestry table. Your breath weapon and damage resistance are determined by the dragon type, as shown in the table. Dragon Color Damage Type Black Acid Blue Lightning Green Poison Red Fire White Cold Breath Weapon. When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one of your attacks with an exhalation of magical energy in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC = 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus). On a failed save, the creature takes 1d10 damage of the type associated with your Ancestry. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage. This damage increases by 1d10 when you reach 5th level (2d10), 11th level (3d10), and 17th level (4d10). You can use your Breath Weapon a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. Draconic Resistance. You have resistance to the damage type associated with your draconic ancestry. Starting at 5th level, as an action, you can channel your draconic energy to protect yourself. For 1 minute, you become immune to the damage type associated with your Draconic Ancestry. Once you use this trait, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest. Languages. You Speak, Read, and Write Common, Draconic, and one other language of your choice. Draconic is thought to be one of the oldest languages and is often used in the study of magic. The language sounds harsh to most other creatures and includes numerous hard consonants and sibilants. 31 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

Harengan (Telikos) Skittish Rabbitfolk Harengan tend to be skittish folk due to their precarious position between the Humans and Elves. During the ThreeWay War, many Harengan were killed as collateral damage, and so they fear Humans and High Elves. Like dwarves, they live in underground communities, but more to protect themselves. They use magic crystal for a lot of things; from light to heat to cooling to protection in magical alarms. Stealthy Mercenaries Harengan are easily pressured into working for other races due to their skittish nature; it's not uncommon for Harengan to be used as assassins or spies due to their speed and natural jumping height making walls a triviality. Still, this position is not one they enjoy; they're naturally a kind, peaceful folk, but fear makes one do many a thing they don't want. Kind and Cautious Harengan are cautious by nature, and slow to make friends. However, once you've befriended a Harengan they'll be a friend for life. They are softspoken, easily frightened, and most importantly rarely leave home. As a result, they're a rare sight in the wider world. 32 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy. Not approved/endorsed by Wizards.

Harpies Tribal Bandits Living in the mountains west of the Naga territory, Harpies are bandits whose intellect leaves much to be desired. As such, they live in small, highly-superstitious tribes and resort to banditry to get what they need to survive. Coming down from the mountain peaks they live in, they swoop in and attack trade caravans, grabbing what they need in powerful talons and fleeing before they can be caught. Superstitious Birdfolk Harpies are incredibly superstitious, and tend to believe that one bad omen ignored will bring a thousand more upon them. As such, many have personal codes or rituals they perform before a hunt to ward off ill omens and bring good fortune. Many also carry a lucky charm of some kind, be it a shiny crystal or a broken gold coin on a chain around their neck. Dumb as Lead Harpies tend to be rather stupid and easily tricked. As a result, many end up befriending the people they were going to rob and traveling alongside them. Occasionally, they even end up falling for this person, and will bring them "gifts" in the form of animal carcasses to prove their worth as hunters to their potential partner. 34 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

Merfolk Water-Dwellers All merfolk live in underwater cities within the seas of Telikos. This is because they're most comfortable in the water, and also because they revere the god of the Seas, Nerolas. There are two kinds of Merfolk: Truefins and Webfins. Truefins are the ruling class and are all similar to naga with long tails ending with fins that let them swim quickly in the water but make them struggle on land. Webfins are viewed by Truefins as "lesser" and as such make up the warrior and servant classes of Merfolk society; they're effectively second-class citizens. Devout Sea-Worshippers Merfolk are the most religious race bar the Triassids. They worship Nerolas with an undying fervor and treat any sign from him as an absolute order (through according to some of his Clerics, much to his chagrin). All Merfolk are all but indoctrinated into the faith of Nerolas from birth, so finding a Merfolk who believes in another god or whose faith is anything but a rock is almost unheard of. Beached Fish Merfolk Truefins struggle on land, and as such have developed magic tools that enable them to travel on land. Most of these are glorified fishbowls on wheels, with magic crystal allowing for ease of understanding for those around. Poorer truefins have wheelchairs that they have their Webfin servants push them around in. Some few Truefins - those who become adventurers - have trained their tails to fucntion akin to a Naga's, and thus lack the struggle to move on land and can be incredibly deadly. 36 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

Shonah-Te Monstrous Insects Shonah-Te are violent, barbaric sorts, and most are simply bloodthirsty monsters that seek to consume the flesh of any creature they come across to fill an insatiable hunger within them. They are monsters in all but origin, the truth of which is shrouded in mystery. While Harpies might be closely watched in a settlement, a Shonah-Te will be attacked on sight due to their kin's violent nature. Dark Power All Shonah-Te contain a black orb within their chest that keeps them alive. If destroyed, the body vanishes into a black ash. It's unclear what exactly this orb does beyond this, but it is known to emanate a sickly but mighty arcane power, and a select few mages have managed to craft these into staffs and rods for use as magical foci. Unpredictable Nature There are some Shonah-Te - mainly Navy types - who have some semblance of intelligence. These can either be a great boon, such as the Navy Shonah-Te that was advisor to King Garmund the First in the old days, or a true terror that leads others of its kind to attack weak settlements for no reason other than their own pleasure. 38 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

Triassids Evolution Personified Of all the races on Telikos, the Triassid are the oldest. Not only that, they are the only ones without a true divine origin. They began as Dinosaurs long, long ago and evolved into their current state over the course of millions of years. This being the case, they look down upon the other races, viewing them as children in comparison - even the long-lived Elves. Survival and Might Triassid society is built around survival of the fittest at its core, with the strongest and wisest being made part of the ruling class of a republic lorded over by an emperor known as the Rexus Prime. When a Triassid comes of age, they're thrown into the Dokimi Wastes with nothing but a knife and told to survive for a week. Those who do gain honor and glory and usually a position among the Triassids' impressive military. Those who flee are exiles, branded as such and told never to return. Those who die are forgotten entirely. Practitioners of the Arts Triassids, like humans, value the arts. Where humans might fancy things like painting or sculpting, Triassids value the art of acting and playwriting. Triassid performances are the best on Telikos, and being able to witness one is truly a pleasure. They fancy tragedies, likely due to the brutal society they live in, and even the most stoic elf will shed a tear at the masterful performance of such plays. 40 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

Eal'Amaj Races Common Races Mas’dimah Empire of Shadows The Mas'dimah are beings who were once powered by the Mana Sun. However, after a conflict with the monstrous spider-folk of the inner world they were cursed to be burned by the sun and drink the blood of others to survive. As such, they used powerful magic to alter their home into a clouded land where no daylight ever appears. This swamp - called Bleakmire - is ruled over by Emperor Yakov Von Barsovich and his wife Eris Von Barsovich who keep a tight grip on their people to prevent incidents with other races. Bloodsuckers Mas'dimah need to drink blood to survive. In the past, they were bandits and savages who would drink other races dry. 100 years ago, Yakov Von Barsovich took over and enforced the Law of Civility which banned drinking blood from anything other than animals. That isn't to say the practice of drinking from humanoiods is dead entirely - but it's mostly limited to secretive cults and other criminal groups. Prim and Proper Mas'dimah favor fancy dress and well-tailored clothes. Their pale skin, white hair, and red eyes make them visually distinct among others, and their weakness to the sun means that they often wear hooded cloaks when they venture out of their territory. They also tend to have good manners and be very polite - but this also means that the ones who violate the Law of Civility are extremely dangerous. 42 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

Sha'tahn Living At Death's Door Sha'tahn are red-skinned beings that are largely a mystery to even the High Elves. What is known is that they have been spotted on expiditions to Skoltien's Finger, largely trying to warn off explorers and often fighting to get them to leave. It's currently unknown why they fight so fiercely, but it's suspected they live there and are defending their territory. Horns and Hellfire Sha'tahn have unique pyromantic powers. This lets them wreathe their blades in flame, blast foes with fire, or summon a blade of pure flame to strike down their enemies. They're uniquely equipped to use these powers as they are inherently resistant to high heat and flame, their skin seeming to be flame retardant. This has led to many fights where an Elven mage blasts one with a Fire Bolt spell only to see the Sha'tahn casually walking out of the fire, truly giving them a demonic appearance. Cautious and Alien Sha'tahn appear alien compared to anything else on Telikos, and with their large leathery wings, whip-like tails, and cloven hooves appear as if someone made a chimera of several beastkin, and their bright red skin makes them stand out no matter where they are. Still, the few that have been recorded come across as somewhat cautious and very serious about what they speak; mainly, warnings. Sha'tahn society is much different from the turbulent societies on Telikos that are almost all at each other's throats, being peaceful and democractic, moreso than even the Triassids. 44 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

Uncommon Races Eiz'alta Kingdom of Bones When one dies with regrets in Eal'amaj, they do not always pass on into the afterlife. Instead, their bones might rise, animated by their spirit, and they become an Eiz’alta. Made of bones moving on tendons and muscles of magic invisible to the naked eye, they live on eternally attempting to soothe their regrets and find some manner of peace in undeath. Undying Society As Eiz'alta can live forever unless killed, they have established a powerful kingdom that grows with each regretful death in the Inner World. Ruled by a king named Alz’enghul who is a powerful mage in his own right thanks to centuries of study, the city is shrouded in darkness at all times both to calm those within and protect the city from attack, as it serves as a powerful magical shield. Depressing and Gloomy Eiz'alta are beings born of regret, and as so tend to be downers. They are pessimists by nature, and frequently come across as angry due to their condition. As such, most will attempt to drown their sorrows in creature comforts they enjoyed in life. This could be alcohol - as they can magically convert alcohol into mana to sustain themselves, or gambling. 46 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

Tham'arjul Deadly Spiders Even among the hellscape that is the Inner World, the Tham'arjul are loathed by all. This is because the few that appear lure in ignorant travelers and devour them. They are evil, horrible creatures that plague the Inner World and are one of the few races that are attacked on sight by the others. They have the lower bodies of spiders, with the upper bodies of humans aside from their multiple, blood-red, spider-like eyes and chitin-covered clawed arms. Step Into My Parlor Tham'arjul use cunning and deception to lure weary travelers into their nests where they tie them up and feast on their bodies, mainly by liquefying their innards and sucking them out much like a real spider. This nature makes them the opposite of trustworthy, and as such they are usually attacked on sight unless someone is an outsider or just plain stupid. Exiles? A select few have claimed to have been to peaceful, hidden cities where they were told that the Tham'arjul most meet are in fact violent, criminal exiles. However, due to the way the other races view the Tham'arjul, their society has become reclusive and hidden. These are often played off as more lies and that the person was lucky, but there has been more than one case of this happening - which lends a dash of credibility to these claims. 48 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.
