Kyuzo (5e Race)
From D&D Wiki
|
This page is of questionable balance. Reason: This race seems overpowered compared to similar first-party races, and would benefit from having less powerful traits. For example, races should not have such an interaction with equipment. The equipment itself doesn't actually exist in first party books as well. Parry can be done every turn and grants 2-6 AC. Free damage on every strike. Overall requires more work from a mechanical perspective to better compare and integrate with the first party content. Consult the 5e Race Design Guide for help and consider checking out some of the comparable Featured Articles.

Kyuzo[edit]
Physical Description[edit]
Kyuzo are humanoid aliens with abnormally dense muscle, allowing great strength with slimmer bodies and faster reflexes. Their skin can be any variation of green, from a blueish-green to an olive green. They are hairless and have yellow eyes. Kyuzo body shape ranges are similar to humans in height and girth. They require assistance to breathe and see well in other atmospheres, often adopting pressurized breathing masks and corrective lenses to correct their problems.
History[edit]
The Kyuzo are native to the gravitationally-strong planet of Phatrong, causing the evolution of their dense muscles. They are a people that are proud of their martial history and have become renowned for it. The law of each region is often maintained through non-governmental local orders of fighters called clovocs that are hired by governments.
Society[edit]
Known for a strong sense of justice and honor, many Kyuzo have jobs as bounty hunters and mercenaries. Most Kyuzo consider an oath or contract to be unbreakable. They have formed many separate political regions on their home planet and engage in politics eagerly. It is tradition for Kyuzo warriors to wear wide, rounded hats that function not only as helmets, but as a shield and can be thrown as a projectile. While able to speak common, they prefer their own language and have trouble clearly communicating in languages other than their own.
