Human Heritage features

Choose on heritage feature:

  • Human Heritage. You can increase three ability scores of your choice by 1. The ability scores you increase with this feature cannot be the same ability scores that you increased with your background ability score choices.

  • Shifter Heritage. As a bonus action, you can assume a more bestial appearance. This transformation lasts for 1 minute, until you die, or until you revert to your normal appearance as a bonus action. When you shift, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Constitution modifier + half you level (rounded up). You can use this bonus action to shift a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. Whenever you shift, you also gain an additional benefit for the duration based on one of the following options (choose when you select this heritage):

    • Beasthide. Your hit point maximum and current hit points increase by an amount equal to twice your proficiency bonus and you gain a +1 bonus to your armor class.

    • Longtooth. When you shift and as a bonus action on each of your subsequent, you can use your elongated fangs to make an unarmed strike. On a hit, this unarmed strike’s damage dice is 1d6 piercing damage, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

    • Swiftstride. Your walking speed increases by 10 feet. Additionally, you can move up to 10 feet as a reaction when another creature moves within 10 feet of you. This reactive movement doesn’t provoke opportunity attacks.

    • Wildhunt. Once you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you have advantage on all subsequent melee attack rolls against that creature until the transformation ends or you attack another creature.

  • Hexblood Heritage. You know the bestow curse spell and can cast it without expending a spell slot. When you cast bestow curse with this feature, you and the target are both effected by the same curse for the duration of the spell. You can use this feature a number of times between long rests equal to your proficiency bonus.
