Moonblood (5e Race)
Moonblood[edit]
Physical Description[edit]
They just look like humans but with a perfectly white skin and they are also sterile. In most cases, they have a remarkable eye color (emerald green, red, yellow…), their blood is silver in color. They have some predispositions to become strong and agile warriors, their senses are boosted and they are most of the time monsters hunters, adventurers or mercenaries.
History[edit]
The Moonbloods are a very particular race, due to their infertility and their rarity, the Moonbloods have no civilization or culture. They born from humans under the right planets alignment, they are a kind of magical mutants. Their appearance and their conditions of birth make them the object of strong discrimination and they are generally compared to demons.
Attitudes and Beliefs[edit]
As said above, the Moonbloods don't really have a society, they sometimes group together to survive but they are very few. They are often solitary and the different races don't like them much, especially humans. They are mostly itinerant and only come into contact with society to take a quest or to collect a reward.
