Bestial Mutant (5e Race)
From D&D Wiki
Bestial Mutant[edit]
Description[edit]
A bestial mutant is someone who at some point of their life came in contact with dangerous concoctions to enhance their senses and strenght their body and mind, at the cost of forever changing their appearance. Depending on the individual the mutation may have different effects. Those with strong willpower manage to dominate the beast inside themself and complete the transformation, mantaning only a small feature such as fangs, claws or horns. Meanwhile those who fail keep a more animalistic form and remain forever in a feral state, those who don't lose themselves in the process see their body resistance augmented instead.
