Race Overview

  Inherent Racial Ability:

• You must pick a Draconic Ancestry, even if you do not pick the corresponding perk.
• Your tail, teeth, and claws become natural weapons. Their damage die is 1d6, and the damage type depends on which weapon you use. Tail does bludgeoning, Teeth do piercing, and Claws do slashing.
• You can go four times as long without food as a normal person, and you only need to drink one gallon of water per two weeks. Being in a hot climate does not affect your need for water, and your time without food is further doubled when in a cold environment.
• As a bonus action, you may expend one hit die and regain a number of hit points equal to the roll of the hit die + your Constitution modifier.
• You are acclimated to hot weather and do not suffer any ill effects from Extreme Heat below 140F. You do, however, suffer disadvantage when resisting effects from Extreme Cold. Wearing Cold Weather Clothing negates both of these, but you must still make saving throws against Extreme Cold.
• You are immune to the Sickness of Tarragon.
• Any severed fingers or toes regrow after 24 hours, severed limbs regrow after 1 week. In order to use this ability, you must have eaten at least once in the past 24 hours.

Point Balance: 22 Points
Size: Medium
Speed: 30ft
Language: You know International and Yatiri, a dialect of Draconic.
Age: Yatiri mature around 10 years old, and live up to 80 years.
Physical Description: The Yatiri look like large, bipedal lizards. Their scales are typically not shiny unless they have recently bathed, something that doesn't happen often in the desert they inhabit. All Yatiri have a second stomach that, instead of storing food, often times stores raw Quintessence in order to produce their signature Dragon Breath. The organ is filled throughout the day as more and more Quintessence is slowly channeled into the organ. This organ is vestigial in many Yatiri, although plenty of them have a fully functioning second stomach. Finally, a rare few Yatiri also have wings, much like their Draconic brethren.
