Nue (5e Race)
|
This page needs grammatical help. Reason: Darkvision wording needs to be written out. Race names do not need capitalization. The trait granting flying speed needs proper recharge wording.
|
|
This page is of questionable balance. Reason: The natural weapons of 1d8 break monk's unarmed strike damage. The poison attack is also way too strong.

This page is incomplete and/or lacking flavor. Reason: Missing RHW table and pretty much all the fluff of history and society.

Older Nue have advanced enough to take on more human forms keeping only some of their animal traits.
