A collection of 5e homebrew species.
If a resource was written for another 5e homebrew document, it will include a link to the source at the bottom of its page.
Species are arranged by creature type and listed alphabetically. Species with multiple creature types will be listed under whatever is considered their primary creature type.
This content was written to be compatible with Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition. It makes the following modifications from the Systems Reference Document:
- "Species" is used in place of "race" and "ancestry" or "variant" in place of "subrace".
- This document uses new traits called Condition Resistance and Condition Vulnerability. Resistance to a condition means that a creature has Advantage on Saving Throws made to resist that condition, and vulnerability to a condition means that a creature has Disadvantage on such Saving Throws.
- Damage and condition resistance, vulnerability, and immunity are now grouped together as Resistances, Vulnerabilities, and Immunities respectively.
- Resistance, vulnerability, and immunity to Poison apply to both the damage type and the Poisoned condition.
