Verenai (5e Race)

This page is not formatted correctly. Reason: This race doesn't use the proper template for racial traits. There are also tables mentioned that are not there.
|
|
This page needs grammatical help. Reason: Many traits do not follow proper 5e wording for things like ASI. Other traits are poorly worded ("not become invisible or teleport, they have the ability to disappear from the sight of many creatures" eg.).
|
|
This page is of questionable balance. Reason: Arbitrary DCs (and really badly calculated ones), +1 unarmed strike (?), flat bonuses to skill checks, ridiculous str increases based on a roll, no fire damage specified for venting, bleeding damage (not official rule) for an arbitrary number of turns... too many undefined traits with undefined DCs and damage (Nightshade kiss, eg.). This is not playable.

Verenai[edit]
Verenai is a race personally designed for AnotherrRommWriter's campaign, BUT can be used in other campaigns. it might have to be changed
Physical Description[edit]
Shimmering skin of different colors (based of subrace)
Photos will be added soon
History[edit]
The Verenai (and the idea of lust in general) used to be a lot more pure and carnal. Not something to be bashful of or perverted, it was like a force of nature, so the Verenai were quite wise beings and in tune with their nature. When beings began to die and go into the underworld and time passed, their ideas of lust in general became stranger and less pure-more perverted. Some of the Verenai began to ascribe to this newer way of life, becoming less intelligent and wise but more agile, while others kept to themselves and renounced such things, retaining their regality
Society[edit]
Verenai embody nature’s untamable desire for life and growth, fertility, and primal instincts. They serve as guardians of nature’s balance between life and death, representing desire as both a force of creation and destruction.
They live in a state of Anarchy, the power is the people. Tribes based on subraces are often built, outcasting the rest.
