"Vultures are holy creatures.
Tending the dead. Bowing low. Bared head. Whispers to cold flesh, "Your old name is not your king. I rename you 'Everything'." - TheCryptoNaturalist The Kathari are a quiet and curious race, holy scavengers among the dead. Their eerie appearance belies their solemn and ardent service to the Raven Queen, gathering souls and disposing of bodily remains. As obligate scavengers, they eat decayed flesh, but are always careful to follow archaic religious rituals before eating. Kathari Traits - Ability Score Increase: Your Wisdom score increases by 2, and your Constitution score increases by 1. - Age: Kathari are long-lived, maturing at the same rate as humans but they're considered young until they reach the age of about 75. On average, they live about 200 years. - Alignment: Kathari tend to be lawful, believing firmly in the divine ordainment of fate. - Size: Kathari are nearly eight feet tall if they stand tall, but close to five feet when they usually walk, hunched-over. They are lighter than humans, weighing an average of 80 pounds. - Speed: Your base walking speed is 25 feet. Your wings are not developed enough to fly with. - Sacred Song: As a 10-minute ritual, you can cast Song for the Dead, farewelling spirits which might be housed in flesh. Once you have used this ability, you must take a long rest before you can use this ability again. - Scavenger: You have advantage on saving throws against diseases and poisons, and you have resistance to poison damage. - Magical Infusion: Kathari are infused with magical energy, allowing them knowledge of one cantrip from the Cleric spell list. - Languages: Kathari can speak, read, and write Common, as well as their own language, Kathari. It is a language filled with snaps of the beak and squawks, almost incomprehensible to any non-native speaker. Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 12 June 2021. Comments are closed.
