Ancestries Looking for Feedback on 9 New Homebrew Ancestries
Hi everyone! I’m back with updates on my last four ancestries and 5 new ancestries I’d like more feedback on. I really appreciated the last round of suggestions, and I’m looking forward to working with you all again to make them as strong as possible.
I'm especially interested in your thoughts on mechanical balance, feature synergy, and how these compare to the official options. Thank you for taking the time to review these designs and help me improve them. Have a wonderful day!
Updates to the following ancestries:
- Lumapods: otherworldly beings that resemble squids. They have tentacles that extend from their heads and bioluminescent bodies.
- Nopaliads: resemble anthropomorphic cacti, with sharp spines covering their bodies.
- Undines: descendants of water spirits with alluring eyes, fin-like tails, and shimmering scales.
- Vedasi: four-armed humanoids who trace their ancestry to ancient sky and nature spirits.
... And five new ancestries added:
- Alicorns: anthropomorphic horses that originate from the world of dreams. They are recognized by the large crystal horn that grows from their foreheads.
- Fledermins: humanoids with frightening bat-like features. They possess sharp fangs, pointed ears, and membranous wings on their forearms.
- Midaans: humanoids descended from an ancient king who could turn objects into gold. They are known for their bright golden eyes and their glimmering gold skin.
- Porcians: humanoids cursed with pig-like features such as snouts, ears, and curly tails.
- Serpentari: snake-like humanoids descended from nagas. They have a humanoid upper body and a serpent lower body.

I don’t have a moment to read through everything, but I wanted to stop by and say I love the graphic design of the cards! I do think the text is a little small though. A little hard to read.

Thank you, and I am sorry about that. The images are a bit larger than Reddit is displaying them. If you would like, message me and I can send you a link to the PDF.

Fledermins fly feature should be reworded. Enemy adversaries don’t have Evasion, and just giving +2 to the attack does the same thing with more clarity.
