Unblooded (5e Race)

This page is incomplete and/or lacking flavor. Reason: Empty tables below, including Height & Weight.

This page is of questionable balance. Reason: Life of the forest has no usage limit. Also, cure wounds is not a cantrip. Sniping references a circumstance bonus, which doesn't exist in 5e. Also double your level is too much for a bonus in 5e. And what the heck is a ranged sneak attack

Unblooded[edit]
Unblooded's are incredibly paranoid and anxious creatures. they are commonly reffered to as the children of the forest, because as far as looks go, they never age past 16. When an Unblooded is born, a blooded is also born at the same time. The bloodeds are born with an inherent need to hunt down and kill their unblooded counterparts. Because their counterparts, the blooded are constantly hunting them, it takes years to gain their trust, and they are incredibly adaptable and good at disguising. Because they are constantly being hunted, there are very few unbloodeds left in the world. Unblooded and Blooded are psychically connected to share memories. However, with enough practice, an Unblooded can block out a Blooded, and vice versa. the unblooded are gentle and kind, while the blooded are powerful and dangerous. as personifications of nature's idea of predator and prey, they simply are driven to do this.

History[edit]
Long ago, a mage of the forest decided to have two children, one born of the blood and stone of the forest, and another born of the water and life of the forest. These children were doomed from the beginning, as the blooded, those born from blood, are cursed to constantly conquer and kill, and the Unblooded, or waterborns, are constantly trying to run away and hide from their brothers. The mage tried to fix her creations, but it was too late for her, as her unblooded child had been killed by his brother. In her grief, the mage sunk into the forest floor and let the vines and twigs grow around her and entrap her in a cocoon that she can never escape from. Trying to fix what she broke, she is doomed for all eternity to keep making her children the same every time, and hope for a different outcome every time. She was able to make it so that when one of her children dies, they reappear before her, and she must decide if they are worthy to be born back into the forest to start anew.
