![]() ![]() It’s not totally clear yet, but I believe the intent is that other lineages follow the same rule. Jeremy Crawford clarified that the Custom Lineage is taken instead of a race, so you’re not a specific race to qualify for race-specific feats. This flexibility in Ability Score Increases is available to every race if you’re using the Customizing Your Origin Optional Rule, but it’s the default for lineages.Īs I understand things, lineages cannot take feats which require a specific race, even if you describe yourself as originally a member of that race. Players are free to allocate these increases as they see fit, allowing lineages to function in a wide variety of classes, and allowing the lineage’s other traits to come to the forefront where normally your ability score increases would heavily influence your viable class options. Mechanically, characters of a lineage uses the same “racial traits” regardless of how you describe your characters lineage, and you usually replace all traits provided by your race (though some lineages get the Ancestral Legacy feature) if you choose to select one in addition to your lineage.Īll lineages provide the choice of a single +2 ability score increase and a single +1 increase or three separate +1 increases (the Custom Lineage is an exception, and cannot choose the three +1 increases as far as I can tell). You can choose any race (or a combination of races or something more outlandish) and apply a lineage to it, allowing you to combine the “flavor” of your race(s) and the flavor and mechanics of your lineage. What is a Lineage?Ī lineage replaces your race’s traits and sometimes adds some new flavor to your character. Portions of the materials used are property of Wizards of the Coast.

Taken as a whole, the Reborn is a great option for players who consider themselves unlucky and who need some mathematical backup, as well as for players who tend to get themselves killed a lot. ![]() In combat, Advantage on Death Saving Throws makes falling to 0 hit points much less scary. Combined with the option to get two skill proficiencies from Ancestral Legacy, they’re flexible enough to fill a number of skill-based roles depending on your role in the party. Mechanically, the Reborn is an interesting option which shares some of the durability of the Dwarf with some unique skill options, making them an enticing choice for front-line Defenders with numerous important skills. You might play a zombie that regained its intelligence, a flesh golem (think frankenstein’s monster), a person who was rebuilt as a machine, or any number of other similar concepts.
