Sylvurco (Sil-ver-co)

Basic Information

Anatomy

Sylvurco are medium sized humanoids, that tend to be taller than humans.

Biological Traits

The Menacing nature of their orcish heritage grants them proficiency in the Intimidation skill.
Relentless Endurance: When you are reduced to 0 Hit Points but not killed outright, you can drop to 1 hit point instead. You can’t use this feature again until you finish a Long Rest.
Savage Attacks: When you score a critical hit with a melee weapon Attack, you can roll one of the weapon’s damage dice one additional time and add it to the extra damage of the critical hit.
Trance. Due to their Elvish heritage they don't need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.
