World of Aether

Human

The humans of Aether are a diverse mix of people. Some are fair-skinned and some are dark; some are strong while others are bookish. Compared to other races, humans don't particularly excel in anything, but they are very adaptable.

Aarakocra

The Aarakocra are a race of flightless bird-people. They most commonly resemble parrots or crows, though Aarakocra of all shapes and sizes can be found. They possess an uncanny gift for socializing and have ingratiated themselves into all parts of society around the core lands. Historical records suggest the Aarakocra lacked a culture of their own prior to The Calamity, so modern Aarakocra culture is largely a blend of other races' traditions but with a unique flair.

LOCKED: Pay $15 to unlock this trait.

Gnoll

Gnolls are often seen as the outcasts of society. They still remember an ancient feud with the humans, one that was never fully resolved. As a result, there's a prejudice about gnolls being bandits, pirates, and thugs. Though many gnolls do fit this stereotype, many others have come to live among the other races.

Rampage: When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points with an attack on your turn, you can take a bonus action to move up to half your speed and make one weapon attack.

Kobold

Kobolds are a diminutive race of reptilians with vaguely dragon-like features. Unsurprisingly, kobolds themselves like to claim they're related to dragons. They come in a wide variety of colors, both chromatic and metallic. Kobolds tend to have a strong bond with their clan since traditionally they have believed in safety in numbers. Kobolds are often restless, constantly coming up with new ideas, plans, and schemes. They're also notoriously cowardly. Not many become adventurers, but those who do are eager to prove their worth to their companions.

(Your DM may allow you to create other items.) To use this trait, you need a blade, such as a dagger, or appropriate artisan's tools, such as leatherworker's tools.

Natural Armor: You have tough, scaly skin. When you aren't wearing armor, your AC is 13 + your Dexterity modifier. You can use your natural armor to determine your AC if the armor you wear would leave you with a lower AC. A shield's benefits apply as normal while you use your natural armor.

Minotaur

Minotaurs are right at home on the plains. They have overcome a brutal, savage history and tend to live as farmers and nomads living off the land. Don't underestimate them, however; an angry minotaur is still a fearsome foe.

Sylvanine

The Calamity brought unparalleled destruction to our world. But for some, it brought a new beginning. From some of the most densely-wooded islands emerged a new race of fey-touched canine humanoids.

Fighter

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Duo Reges: constructio interrete. Sed vos squalidius, illorum vides quam niteat oratio. Quae enim adhuc protulisti, popularia sunt, ego autem a te elegantiora desidero. Neminem videbis ita laudatum, ut artifex callidus comparandarum voluptatum diceretur. Sed quid sentiat, non videtis. Ubi ut eam caperet aut quando?

Rogue

Rogues are sneaky.

Addidisti ad extremum etiam indoctum fuisse. Ita ne hoc quidem modo paria peccata sunt. Tum mihi Piso: Quid ergo? Cur igitur, inquam, res tam dissimiles eodem nomine appellas? Miserum hominem! Si dolor summum malum est, dici aliter non potest. Ita prorsus, inquam; Expressa vero in iis aetatibus, quae iam confirmatae sunt. Diodorus, eius auditor, adiungit ad honestatem vacuitatem doloris.

Cleric

Clerics are wise.

Istam voluptatem perpetuam quis potest praestare sapienti? Expressa vero in iis aetatibus, quae iam confirmatae sunt. Suo enim quisque studio maxime ducitur. Naturales divitias dixit parabiles esse, quod parvo esset natura contenta. In his igitur partibus duabus nihil erat, quod Zeno commutare gestiret. Eam si varietatem diceres, intellegerem, ut etiam non dicente te intellego; Ille enim occurrentia nescio quae comminiscebatur; Ita prorsus, inquam;

Wizard

Wizards are smart.

Apparet statim, quae sint officia, quae actiones. Duo enim genera quae erant, fecit tria. Tu quidem reddes; Quamquam ab iis philosophiam et omnes ingenuas disciplinas habemus; Quod non faceret, si in voluptate summum bonum poneret.
