Sizer (5e Race)

Sizer

Five large men back a pointy-eared human down an alley. "Give us your money!" one of the Thugs said. Then small man responds "I'd rather not." The five men watch in awe as the small man shrinks to the size of a bug and runs straight under them.

Physical Description

They look like half-elves, whatever their size may be. They often wear Sizer Vestments, magical items made by their masters of lore. The clothes change size with them.

History

The Sizers are descendants of humans, elves, magic, and flying bread. Once, a group of campaigners entered the Feywilds, met immediately by the Feywarden elves. They eventually broke bread together. Later that night, the wizard of the group awoke to a strange sound in the night. The wizard attempted to cast a minor spell, but it failed and all of their food went flying, notably the bread. A piece of magical bread hit a pair of human and elf, and they merged. Hence was born the first Sizer. 4 others were made by the same manner.

Society

The Sizers lack society and mingle in human society.

Sizer Names

Sizers use human and elven names.
