Worldspire Races Mark 7 Update| Trimming, filling holes, and getting more in line with the SRD for future publication.
Added 2021-12-05 04:56:00 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
Tonight, I've got a pretty interesting update for the Worldspire Races document. The goal right now is to narrow themes, try to make things fit in the setting (and if they can't, removing them), and getting things more in line with 5e Systems Reference Document for future publication purposes. So, to achieve this, we've got a pretty long Changelog:

- All lineages changed to races. Unfortunately, the lineage system is not in the SRD yet, so I cannot use it for publication without publishing solely on the DMsGuild.
- The Rasseln Race has been shelved for now.
- The Nidaren Race has been shelved for now.
- The Vindreyan Dragonborn has been shelved for now.
- The Moon dwarves have been shelved for now.
- The Spell-Touched Human has been shelved for now.
- The Ortnir halfling has been shelved for now.
- The Ankhali have a suggested ASI and the Skilled Travelers has been replaced with Phoenix blood (resistance to fire damage), and the flight feature is less limited.
- The Bloodborn now have a suggested ASI and a feature called Host Knowledge (skill choice). Additionally, telepathy is less restricted.
- The Daywalker race has been added. Slight update from Wednesday's brew for more synergy with the Hypnotize Thrall feature.
- The Desmodai's bat wings flight is less limited. The Fangs feature now has a bonus action bonus. The wording for Ultrasonic Screech has been changed to better allow for echolocation like visibility and is now short or long rest. New lore coming soon.
- The Etherkin have a suggested ASI.
- The Evarcha Arachnid affinity has been changed to Arachnid Speech to further distance from non-srd wording and the Webslinger feature is now short or long rest.
- The Nosfera have had their Maw of Seething Flame feature removed and the Blood Rush feature has been updated and expanded in compensation.
- The Ulfuric has a Suggested ASI and a new feature called Hunter's Instinct (skill choice from Perception, Survival, and Nature).
- The Vuldr have been overhauled to better fit the setting. They are now Humanoid and fey, lakestride has been removed, Fox Fire has been reworked, Favor of the Winter Winds has been removed. Fey Tricks added, Vulpine Agility added.
- The Watcher race added (aasimar/tiefling alternative since the aasimar are not srd and the tiefling doesn't really fit the setting that well).
- Xinph, no change. They are good for now.
- Asperid elf subrace, no change beyond the new wording for speak with snakes.
- Dream gnome subrace, no change.
- ASI change portion added at the beginning of the doc to clarify my intentions with giving suggested ASI's to the races with recent developments.
