Title: Capybara Humanoid Race For The Campaign
Post by: SHARK on January 13, 2024, 03:59:16 PM
Greetings!

Capybara Humanoid

What abilities and profile do you think would be good for a Capybara humanoid?

I know that Players are sure to love meeting such a creature, and will no doubt want to recruit such a creature as a Henchman, if not also creating such a Character for themselves. I am anticipating this, so I think it is always good to be prepared.

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

I don't know, but I think I'd rather have this charming young lady in the campaign instead:

I'd make the Capybara humanoid have a goliath size to emulate the relative lack of predators due to its size. Then, given it has a gentle giant demeanor as it is busy chewing plant matter, I'd make it attractive to other prey animals who are reassured and calmed in its presence. So maybe a humanoid that is 8 to 10 feet tall when standing, but tends to squat on all fours, likes to be submerged in water, and calmly accept other prey animals regularly perching or snuggling atop them as they blithely continue chewing.  ;D

Not a powerful race, just one with few enemies and a rather neutral demeanor to everyone else around them. You could probably hire them out as good flooded jungle porters who can be paid in pumpkins.  :)
