Born Bladesman (5e Race)

This page is incomplete and/or lacking flavor. Reason: Lacking Fluff. Incomplete H&W table. What does 'tier' mean? Born to Fight is missing a damage type. For guidance, see the 5e Race Design Guide.

This page is of questionable balance. Reason: This race is narrowly focused on weapons. Half-Orc would be a good comparison. Does Power Lounge's bonus action clause mean you make an attack with a weapon? If yes, it needs to reworked to happen only once before resting, and should probably not have any bonuses whatsoever, and even a drawback. If the damage is supposed to be done by you landing on a creature, then that needs to be clarified. Born to fight has too much going on and should be 2 traits. The section about opportunity attacks is totally bizarre and seems like it belongs a on cursed magic item instead of a racial trait. Endless Whistle's stipulation of CR 1/8 is borderline irrelevant and accounts for basically everything in the game; Ponies and mastiffs have a CR 1/8. Communication with language essentially requires attunement?

History[edit]
These monster like people were created during a Great War by a mad scientist, day and night he would study and engineer these powerful creatures whistling a jolly tune the hole time. even after the war had ended he kept working to create these creatures whistling his jolly tune the whole time, unknown to the scientists the bladesman could hear and see everything, so this simple tune ended up becoming a sort of sacred song they might sing it before a meal, before a kill, or just on a walk home. after five years of work the Bleadsmen finally came alive and as soon as they did the scientist handed each one of them a blade and sent them away.

The bladesmen tend to stay away from each other like lions or animals of the type they claim land about 5 square miles for themself, they tend to like the cold strange enough
