Ironborn bodies carry replaceable outer plates and a durable core. A damaged plate can be exchanged with suitable material and time.
Dreamcoil serpents experience nearby emotion as a second atmosphere. Fear draws their attention, affection leaves an impression, and thoughts sometimes arrive before words. Their sensitivity can be powerful and intrusive. Their bodies remain recognizably serpentine; specific limbs or attacks need their own authored permission. Psychic Resistance concerns psychic damage, not universal protection against Mental actions or mind control.
Dusklings have wide pupils and fine, light-sensitive lashes. They read movement in dim natural light and train their attention on small changes. Total darkness still hides the world from them.
Glidesprouts unfold small membranes between light limbs to steer a descent. Their frame has enough resilience to weather a hard journey. A glide requires height and a viable landing route; these membranes do not grant powered flight or hovering.
Griproots have gripping pads along fingers and toes, an inheritance suited to bark and rough masonry. Their climbing technique helps them follow a real surface; adhesion does not create a path through empty air or free them from the surface's limits.
Hearthsparks carry warm flecks of mineral under their skin. A struck knuckle can spark prepared tinder; a stubborn, compact body gives them a little extra endurance. Their spark needs fuel and air and grants no protection from fire.
Reachlings have flexible joints that stretch a hand toward a nearby ledge or across a modest gap. A careful eye guides delicate retrieval. This reach helps manipulation; it does not extend weapon attacks or the range of a purchased capability.
Whispercolonies carry subtle scent glands and an instinct for colony rhythms. They send brief messages to people who know the scent code and watch their surroundings carefully. Wind, distance, and barriers can break a message; the scent does not compel anyone.
Antlerhand feelers probe small reachable spaces with delicate touch. They can locate and retrieve light objects without gaining an extra equipped hand.
Ashlung breathe through light smoke and ash that would interrupt ordinary work. Dense fumes still threaten them; their separate fire resistance protects against heat damage.
Burrowhide forelimbs open narrow ways through loose earth. Their compact frame and ground sense help them travel beneath a soft surface.
Chitterkin chitin and sensory hairs suit life in close stone passages. They read nearby vibrations and protect vulnerable parts with layered plates.
Claymold slowly alter the visible shape of face and skin. A changed appearance can support a disguise, while voice, clothing, and close scrutiny still matter.
Coppervein tissue senses current through a touched conductor. Their gift follows a live path but does not reveal a distant source through insulation.
Flintskin carry an abrasive mineral hide that sheds sparks against hard material. A spark can light prepared tinder, and their body withstands selected hazards.
Hollowbone frames and membranes let them steer a fall. A controlled glide offers a safe route downward without granting hovering or full flight.
Kilnmaw teeth tolerate heat and slowly work through tough food or soft metal. That patient bite does not pierce a resisting foe's armor by itself.
Lantern-eyed can kindle a small visible glow in their eyes. The light helps with close work and coded signals while also revealing where they stand.
Latticevein crystal records the rough shape of recent vibrations. Careful contact can recover a trace of impact or direction, not a complete memory.
Longreach joints extend a hand across a modest gap or up to a ledge. The reach helps manipulation but does not lengthen an attack or magical delivery.
Mirebody tissue compresses around its rigid parts to slip through plausible openings. Carried gear and sealed barriers remain practical limits.
Mirrorhide skin takes on the broad pattern of a surface during stillness. The imitation breaks as the body moves or the backdrop changes.
Nightpupil eyes make good use of dim natural light. They still need a light source to see in total darkness.
Rootwaker fibers feel movement in connected soil and draw modest nourishment from fertile ground. A rooted rest keeps them attentive to disturbances nearby.
Sporeveil exchange simple scent signals with those who know their colony's code. Weather, distance, and barriers can erase the message.
Toneweft hear the world through touched stone and other connected rigid surfaces. Rehearsed vibrations can carry a brief signal where voices cannot.
Forged in volcanic crucibles. Heavy Die Block on unarmed strikes, +1 Physical Defense, fire resistance.
Tidekin move comfortably between shore and water. They read nearby currents through pressure, though a sealed barrier still cuts off that sense.
Skyborn carry wings strong enough for sustained flight. Their aerial senses and practiced descent make the open air a route, not merely a hazard.
Forestkind are at home beneath a dense canopy. They navigate branches and dim light by practiced grip, sight, and woodland knowledge.
