The Skinwalkers

Bloodstained Souls of the Night

There is an evil in the land of Tcharnovog, a stain on the human soul spoken of only in hushed whispers, and the Skinwalker is its child.

• Enthralling: Your uncanny nature gains you proficiency with two of the following skills of your choice: Deception, Insight, Intimidation, or Persuasion.

• Spider Step: You have a climbing speed equal to your walking speed. In addition, at 3rd level, you can move up, down, and across vertical surfaces and upside down along ceilings, while leaving your hands free.

• Skinwalking: As an action, you can change your appearance and your voice. You determine the specifics of the changes, including your coloration, hair length, and sex. You can also adjust your height and weight, but not so much that your size changes. You can make yourself appear as a member of another race, though none of your game statistics change. You can't duplicate the appearance of a creature you've never seen, and you must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs that you have. Your clothing and equipment aren't changed by this trait. You stay in the new form until you use an action to revert to your true form or until you die.

• Languages: You begin play speaking, reading, and writing Common and one language in which you were raised, which for the Skinwalkers is typically Moksha. You may, if desired, choose one bonus language that you and your DM agree is appropriate.
