Hub: Ancestries and Heritages
An Ancestry is a character's heritage, it's culture, and more all rolled into one. Almost all Humanoid and Humanoid adjacent creatures, including the player characters, have an ancestry. For this page, this relies on what is choosable for players.
When you select an Ancestry, you gain everything under the Ancestry Statistics section.

Base Stats
- Age. A creature's age. Mostly for flavor and the rare ability that affects it.
- Size. A creature's base size. Most creatures are Medium or Small, unless stated otherwise.
- Associated Traits. The Traits a creature has, for classification and lore purposes.
- Traditional A.Boost Spread. For players, this represents the way other games handle Attribute Boosts given by an Ancestry, or how an Ancestry placed those in older games. While not a thing in CHASE, it works as a guideline for those who want to follow more traditional paths..
- Language. A creature's base languages, gained from their culture and how they interact with the world. More Languages can be learned via having a high Charisma, or learning them via an Activity.
- Speed(s). A creature's base movement types, typically between 20 ft and 30 ft for players.
- Special Senses. Senses outside of normal vision, such as Low-Light Vision.
