Atruaghin Heritage Details
The Atruaghin people are an evolution from the Azcan, who are descendant of the Oltecs. They are connected to the earth, and nature. They have a native American style to their appearance and culture. They are the inheritors of the region, being suppressed by the different cultures and races, and have forced their independence and cultural identity through constant warfare internally and externally. It is now so much a part of their culture that every year they have a structure for each of the clans as to who’s turn it is to go to war.
- Height – men average 4’ 6″ to 5′ 6″, women 4′ to 5’.

- Restrictions (Atruaghin) Forbidden to use metal armour, weapons or tools, doing so causes your totem spirits to no longer communicate with you and make you an outcast of your people.
- Evolution (3rd Evolution): Counts as the Neathar, Oltec, Azcan and Genasi races for the purposes of effects and magical items. As a 3rd evolution, there is a 15% chance for any offspring to be a Genasi.
Most Atruaghin have the Earth Aspected Traits, to select other elemental traits please gain the game masters permission.
Attributes – Earth Aspected Traits
- Ability Score Increase: Constitution +2
- Appearance: Green eyes, Veins, Skin or Hair are trademarks of Earth Aspected characters.
- Touch of the Earth (Earth aspect) While taking a short rest on raw unworked earth or stone, you can spend 1 HD to roll two dice and take the results of both.
- Power of Matter (Earth aspect) When using (or effected by) Acid or Poison you add your proficiency bonus to the damage (or reduce damage taken) and cause your eyes to glow green till the start of your next turn.
- Danger of Thought (Earth aspect) When hit by Lighting or Thunder damage you take additional damage equal to your proficiency. Lightning and Thunder effects you use, have their attack, damage and saving throw reduced by your proficiency instead of increased by it.
- Earth Evolution: Counts as a Genasi for the purposes of using Earth Genasi effects and magical items, but not as a Earth Genasi. With every genasi offspring there is a d20 roll to determine their elemental aspect:
