Jagerborn

Below is the alpha version of a custom race I made for my Krevborna games. It's based off the yuan-ti pureblood stats, but toned down a bit since it doesn't get advantage on saves vs. magic. However, it does have more versatility and customization since you get to pick the spells granted by the innate spellcasting feature.


Jagerborn

Jagerborn were once human, but the alchemical infusions of given to them by the alchemists of the Haxanjager Guild have transformed them into beings engineered to withstand the attacks of the monsters their guild hunts. Transformation into a jagerborn imparts resistance to disease, an unnaturally prolonged lifespan, and immunity to poison. Jagerborn also development strange magical powers in response to the alchemical modifications they undergo. Jagerborn generally retain their human appearance, but each is marked by a tell-tale sign of their alteration. Unnatural or unusual pigmentation of the eyes, hair, or skin are common among the jagerborn.
