Message: <blockquote data-quote="Faolyn" data-source="post: 8191351" data-attributes="member: 6915329">I actually have a character for an upcoming game that switched species (pre-start) due to reincarnation, and so became a transmuter wizard so he could figure out how to turn back.Agreed. Those would be great cultures to go along with lineage. I did two forest-dwelling cultures earlier in the thread. However, care would have to be taken not to overlap these cultures with backgrounds too much. There are lots of reasons: fighting back against enemies who want to take over or have already taken over the character's homeland, a hunter who is responsible for feeding their family, a town guard turned adventurer, and so on. Plus, Small races include gnomes, goblins, and kobolds, not to mention a plethora of 3pp races.Depends. In the Ancestries and Lineages books by Arcanist Press, most racial spellcasting became a cultural thing, with the idea that (for instance) an air genasi raised by other races can't use their innate 1/rest levitation. That's definitely a possibility.The main problem is that, except for the main PH races, none of the other races really have sub-races that are cultural. So going by the various races (and ignoring languages), other than halfling, elf, dwarf, and gnome, I'd say the following could be considered cultural traits (not not every race is here; some don't seem to have any cultural traits):Bugbear: Sneay, Surprise Attack.Centaur: Survivor.Dragonborn (Draconblood): Forceful Presence.Firbolg: Firbolg Magic, Speech of Beast and Leaf.Githyanki: Decadent Mastery, Martial Prodigy.Githzerai: Mental Discipline.Goliath: Mountain Born.Half-Orc: Menacing.Hobgoblin: Martial Training, Saving Face.Kenku: Expert Forgery, Kenku Training.Kobold: Cower, Beg, and Grovel, Pack Tactics.Lizardfolk: Cunning Artisan, Hunter's Lore.Minotaur: Imposing Presence.Orc: Aggressive, Primal Intuition.Satyr: Reveler.Tabaxi: Cat's Talents.Triton: Emissary of the Seas.Veldaken: Veldaken Dispassion, Tireless Precision.Verdan: Persuasive.Obviously, this is YMMV a lot. I didn't include innate spells because it's very unclear whether these are actually truly innate or if they are taught.</blockquote>
