D%26d 5e Dog Race



From D&D Wiki

Dnd 5e Races List (5th Edition) Dungeons and Dragons are one of the most excellent online games that have become even much better with the addition of new features in its 5th edition. Having distinguishing and fantastic powers and characteristics, all of the characters here are quite powerful and unique from each other in different aspects. Is there currently any race in source materials or UA for a canine humanoid other than Gnolls? Like a Wolf or dog version of a Tabaxi. I'd rather use something with a bit more grounding in the world lore of Forgotten Realms than resorting to a Homebrew right out of the gate.

The Canis races consist of mainly wolves, coyotes, and jackals. There is some debate that the vulpis races should be included with Canis due to their shared language. Shortly after evolving to a state of sentience, the canis races were among the first to establish a tribal society and culture due to their highly social nature.

  2. D&D 5e/Next conversion So the fey corgi is basically the best thing ever, and that's really all there is to say on that matter. Thus, I decided to convert it to a format compatible with the newest version of the D&D 5e/Next playtest (as of November 26, 2012, anyway).

Usually known as 'Man's best friend'. Most Canus are kept as slaves, pets, or mercenaries for most of their life, but some find freedom from their masters through escaping, good behavior, or kindness. Canus are widely considered inhumane, and therefore don't have human rights, though this may be untrue for certain regions. In regions where they aren't considered human, they are considered 'attack dogs', 'dog maids', or sometimes even simple 'house pets'.

Physical Description

Canus are humanoids with certain dog-like features. This includes almost always ears and a tail, and rarely furred forearms and hands. The specifics of these traits change with sub-race, or in the harsher side of their heritage, 'breeds'. Hellhounds have darker furs, and fire seems to burn in their eyes. Servants have white fur nearly all the time, but sometimes a mutation will cause them to have grey hair, their eyes look quite normal. Domestics have brown fur, and usually, have a slightly blank look in their eyes.

History

The Canus are a result of ancestors with lycanthropy giving birth to children with regular humans. Since lycanthropes are considered monsters, their children were considered freaks of nature, a mixture of monster and human that shouldn't exist. That is until one was allowed to grow up. This singular creature was docile and friendly, had little intelligence and seemed like a domestic wolf. That is when they became simple pets. However, once they started to become more and more human-like, it has become a question of if they can be given human rights.

Society

There is not much to Canus society, they were treated like pets originally, so most of their society is basically pet society.

Canus Names

Canus names are given by masters and are often very demeaning.

Male: Fido, Max, Doog, Bork

Female: Baby, Lola, Dixie

Handler Background

You grew up in a kender society with little to no concept of individual property rights. Upon reaching adulthood, your insatiable curiosity led you to explore the wider world. You soon discovered wonders you previously only dreamed of, some of which have ended up in your pockets without your knowledge.

Explaining things to the owners of these items seemed to only make things worse. Still, you liked that captain of the guard. Perhaps you should meet with him over dinner tonight to work out your differences. If things go well, maybe he’ll let you hold that shiny badge again.

Skill Proficiencies: Sleight of Hand and Stealth.

Tool Proficiencies: Thieves’ tools.

D 26d 5e Dog Race Entries

Languages: any one of your choice.

Equipment: a scroll case, a map handed down from a family member, a bag of marbles, a set of thieves’ tools, a set of commoner’s clothes, and a belt pouch containing 10 gp.

Handler Specialties

As a handler you have a wide range of interests and skills. Among kender, these skills are held in high esteem, though members of other races may look at your work with disdain. That rarely bothers you. In fact, it may escape your notice altogether since you have absolute confidence in your abilities. Besides, everyone knows the bigger races have strange ideas about the world. Choose two or three specialties or roll on the table below.

Feature: Hard to Hold

As a handler, you are personally familiar with the finest jail cells throughout most of Ansalon. To you, the local jail is a good place to acquire needed rest, a place to socialize with fellow handlers, and receive a meal that is often an adventure in flavors all on it’s own. While these cells offer a cozy spot in which to rest and recover from injuries and are quite good at keeping you safe from outside threats, they are not very good at keeping you inside of them. You are especially adept at leaving a jail cell anytime you wish, even if the local jailer doesn’t wish it. Your companions, however, are another story.

Suggested Characteristics

Among kender, handlers are incredibly common. Members of other races who might have been raised in kender communities are far less common. Regardless, very few handlers would identify themselves in this way, preferring to focus on their current occupations. Handling is more of a cultural trait fueled by curiosity and it is this curiosity that really defines who the handler is.
