Living Spellbook (5e Race)

This page is incomplete and/or lacking flavor. Reason: Sections missing below for fluff and better information on race.
|
|
This page is of questionable balance. Reason: What is the action needed to use many of the paper shape traits? How much paper do you need to eat to regenerate? How well can you reshape your body (you're not clay or paper mache, you're a dry book...)? The traits would benefit from more mechanical rigor in definition.

"where did he go?" - the guards were looking for a monster that seemed to be hiding in the library.
When they least expect it, a bang is heard. the guard looking for him fainted as he was hit on the head with a sledgehammer by an arm protruding from a book on the shelf.
- "Ave Maria Doindo, it's already 7 with this guard, you won't disturb me"
The hand went back inside the book, waiting for the next person to disturb him.
