I Made a Human with Subraces For 5e
I’ve decided to post these somewhere, but I made a line up of Humans with subraces! I decided to put them up for any of you to use as you see fit! These were made for a world where two goddesses of the Sun and the Moon split the continent in ages past, and humans grew up separated by these lines ever since. If you’d like, please leave a critique! I’m trying to start working on DND content and other TTRPG content.
Humans;
Humans are vast and varied, but all will have the following traits:
Ability Score Increase
You may choose two ability scores to increase by 1, You can't increase any ability score by more than 2 from your race
Age
Humans reach adulthood in their late teens and live less than a century.
Alignment
Humans tend toward no particular alignment. The best and the worst are found among them.
Size
Humans vary widely in height and build, from barely 5 feet to well over 6 feet tall. Regardless of your position in that range, your size is Medium.
Speed
Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Languages
Because of their multiculturalism, all Humans speak the Central Dialect, as well as either eastern, Western, or Southern. The Central Dialect is
the language of diplomacy and trade among humans, and is fairly common, although there are some areas that use only their regional tongue.
Stubborn
As a human you may add a d4 to any attack roll or saving throws. You may do this a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining
all expended uses of this feature on a long rest.
Subraces;
Humans fall into one of three subraces: Lunar, Solar, or Coastal.
Coastal;
Coastal humans tie their lineage back to a distant contenent over the seas, arriving here after the Lunar and Solar Humans had been established. Coastal
humans are generally taught from youth some kind of trade relating to the water. Their general language is that of the Southern Dialect, which
is the most divergent language from the others, being somewhat harsh and punctuated with simplicity in mind.
Ability Score Increase
Your Dexterity score increases by 1
Natural Swimmers
You gain a swimming speed of 25 feet, and can hold your breath for twice as long as a normal person
Solar;
The Solar Humanoids are the primary race within the Empire of the Sun, but are found outside its borders as well. They tie their lineage back to when the Goddesses divided the continent into the two kingdoms that exist today, directly descended from the humans that lived on the eastern side of the divide. Solar Humans tend to be taller, and a fair bit more slender, with great pride in their heritage. Many still speak the now Antiquated Eastern Dialect, which was the basis of the modern
central Dialect. Although Eastern is rarely still spoken, it's used prominently in the Empire's ceremonies, religious practices, and courts of law. Spoken much like Central, but more focused on very precise speech.
Ability Score Increase
As a child of the Empire, you increase your Charisma Score by 1
Voice of the Empire
When in combat you can use an action to rally your allies, giving yourself and allies 1d4+Carisma temporary HP
Lunar;
Lunar humans are pale skinned, broad shouldered humanoids tracing their lineage back to the foundation of the Lunar kingdom and the division of the continent into two halves. They have a varied look, resulting from isolating winters separating these courageous humans into clans rather than one unified people. The Western dialect comes from these peoples, the strange flowing language being all but forgotten at this point, but still regularly used between the clans, and as the main dialect of the Lunar courts.
Ability score increase
As a Lunar human, your constitution score increases by 1
Winter Walker
You do not suffer from difficult terrain while on land, you also don't suffer any penalties from cold weather, or harsh cold.
