The Book of Uncommon Ancestry (5e)
Inside the the Book of Uncommon Ancestry you'll find a treasure trove of new player options related to some of the rarer peoples of the D&D multiverse. It features 12 new player character races¸ new weapons used mainly by giff and thri-kreen adventurers¸ over 30 new racial feats¸ and 48 new magic items. New races explored in the Book include: Book wyrms are small¸ winged draconic bibliovores that immediately learn the content of any book or written document they consume. Dhampir are the cursed offspring of a mortal and a vampire. They can walk in sunlight¸ though they typically avoid doing so¸ and often find themselves rejected by the living and dead alike. Dragontortleborn are the unlikely humanoid offspring of dragonturtles. Often mistaken for odd-looking dragonborn or particularly ferocious tortles¸ the dragontortleborn are a proud militant people. Giff are spacefaring¸ hippopotamus-headed gunpowder enthusiasts with a mercenary military hierarchy government. Godblooded are the children of mortals and gods. A godblooded may look like their mortal parent but they inherit some of the divine resilience and blessings of their holy¸ or unholy¸ parent. Grimalkin are a race of house cat-like humanoids who live in itinerant communities after having been expelled from the Feywild and Shadowfell for taking a war of pranks too far. Half-dwarves are the dwarven equivalents of half-elves. Like half-elves¸ they often struggle to be accepted fully by their human and non-human kin. Lemurians were once a human civilization but generations in the Deep Ethereal¸ working reality-shaping magic¸ left its mark on them. Lupin are divided into two subraces: the ferocious¸ wolf-like hutaakan and the genial¸ dog-like renardy. Saurian are an ancient race of dinosaur-folk who claim to have once ruled the world. Today¸ what remains of their empire is in ruins and they must choose between clinging to the traditions of the past and forging a new future for their people. Shardmind are crystalline beings¸ each a sentient shard of the Living Gate that once separated the Far Realms from the rest of the multiverse. Thri-kreen are a mantis-like people who live short and sleepless existences of hunting and gathering in the hottest regions of the world. Not quite sold on the Book of Uncommon Ancestry?
