Any Houndfolk species suggestions? (I also offer a homebrew idea draft.)

[QUOTE="Mirrorrorrim, post: 9736190, member: 7040132"] I mentioned in another thread that I really want a good houndfolk species to use, but I'm posting here to not derail that thread. Anyone have any 3rd party suggestions that I can actually review before buying? As for what I don't want, I'm not looking for a species that is tied to wolves specifically, or that has inherent magic like the Humblefolk species, or that is a shapeshifter. The [B]Shifter[/B] species design is close to what I want, but the shifting mechanics are temporary and take up too much design space, so reskinning it doesn't work. I also want all canine themes. To add value to my post, here is something I put together that is pretty basic, focusing on skills and Expertise, and some traditional canine themes. [B]Houndfolk (Hunderkin)[/B] Size: S or M Speed: 35 feet Darkvision: 60 feet Keenest Senses: Proficiency in Insight and Perception Hardest Worker: Expertise in one skill that you are proficient in. Houndfolk Lineage (Something to "choose from"): [LIST] [*]Big Dawg (Size M only): Powerful Build; Proficiency in Athletics [B]and[/B] Intimidation. [*]Guardian/Protector: Can use Reaction to give disadvantage on one attack roll against adjacent ally; Proficiency in Intimidation [B]and[/B] Medicine. [*]Helper: Can Help as a Bonus Action; Proficiency in Persuasion [B]and[/B] Animal Handling [*]Runner: Can Dash as a Bonus Action; Proficiency in Acrobatics [B]and[/B] Athletics. [*]Tracker: Can Search as a Bonus Action; Proficiency in Investigation [B]and[/B] Survival. [*]Worker: Can Utilize as a Bonus Action; Proficiency in 2 skills [B]and[/B] 2 tools of your choice. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
