Two more racial variants for Project Bloodthorn| Snapping Tortle and Silverwater Warforged!

# Silverwater (Warforged Variant)  

### Brief

The silverwater are among the youngest races of the continent. They were created by the aolann to serve as soldiers and police, but have since gained proper sapience. A violent revolution occurred where the silverwater fought for their independence. A peace treaty was signed and now the silverwater live amongst their creators in a tense, but peaceful relationship.

# Snapping Tortle

### Brief

Like the saros, tortles are a remnant from an ancient era. The snapping tortle is said to have come from the strongjaw variant of the saros interbreeding with the common tortle. 

They are primarily found within the saros empire. Very few live amongst other tortles. 

### Snapping Tortle Traits

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Strength score increases by 2 and your Constitution score increases by 1.  

***Age.*** Young tortles crawl for a few weeks after birth before learning to walk on two legs. They reach adulthood by the age of 15 and have been known to live for almost 300. 

***Alignment.*** 

***Size.*** Snapping Tortle's stand between 4 and 5 feet in height and can weigh up to 600 pounds. Your size is medium. 

***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 25 feet. 

***Language.*** You can speak, read, and write Aquan, Common, and Sarosian. 

***Bite.*** Your fanged maw is a natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with it, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

***Snapping Jaw.*** On a successful hit with your bite attack, you can attempt to lock your jaw on your prey and grapple them as a bonus action. 

Once you have used this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

***Hold Breath.*** You can hold your breath for up to 1 hour at a time. Tortles aren't natural swimmers, but they can remain underwater for some time before needing to come up for air.

***Natural Armor.*** Due to your shell and the shape of your body, you are ill-suited to wearing armor. Your shell provides ample protection, however; it gives you a base AC of 17 (your Dexterity modifier doesn't affect this number). You gain no benefit from wearing armor, but if you are using a shield, you can apply the shield's bonus as normal.

***Shell Defense.*** You can withdraw into your shell as an action. Until you emerge, you gain a +4 bonus to AC, and you have advantage on Strength and Constitution saving throws. While in your shell, you are prone, your speed is 0 and can't increase, you have disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws, you can't take reactions, and the only action you can take is a bonus action to emerge from your shell.
