Rebalanced Races for WC5E

This is an attempt to rebalance all the races so that they are equally powerful in terms of race points. The benchmark used is the WC5e night elf, which has 29 race points. This was done so that all races would get something rather than have something taken away. An exception to this is darkvision, which was too common, as well as some abilities that felt too repetitive.

You can have up to three such devices active at a time.

When you create a device, choose one of the following:

A poisoned creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of its turn.

Radiation Disease

When an uninfected creature comes into contact with a source of radiation — such as contaminated water, being bitten by an infected creature, or for every hour spent in a high-radiation area — the creature must succeed on a DC 11 a Constitution saving throw or contract the radiation disease.

It takes 1d4 days for the disease to manifest. As it does, the creature's skin takes on a sickly green tint and abscesses start to spread across its surface. At the end of that period, the creature gains advantage on saving throws against poison and resistance against poison damage. However, the creature also has disadvantage on all Strength and Dexterity ability checks, as well as weapon attack rolls.

Once a creature has carried the radiation disease for more than two weeks, its skin turns completely green. It no longer suffers from disadvantage on ability checks or weapon attacks, but it gains an indefinite madness as described in the Dungeon Master's Guide (p. 260).

The radiation symptoms can be cured by a spell, such as lesser restoration. Once the disease has manifested, a more potent spell such as greater restoration or heal is required.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Low Common.

Two Forms. Using 1 minute, you can transform yourself into a human. While human, you appear as you did before getting affected by the worgen curse. You always appear as the same human when you transform. You can transform back into a worgen as a free action on your turn.

As a human, you have Human Form traits and lose all worgen form traits, and vice versa. If you make an attack, cast a spell that affects an enemy creature, or try to use an ability only available in worgen form, you immediately revert into your worgen form.

Human Form Traits

In your human form, you appear as you did before the curse. By repressing the inner beast, you have reclaimed some of the skills and abilities of your former life.

Size. Like humans, they vary widely in height and build, depending on your heritage. Your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Human Resolve. When you roll a 1 on an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can reroll the die. You must use the new result, even if it is a 1.

Racial Heritage. Choose a single kingdom from the human race to be your origin. You gain the racial abilities of that kingdom while in human form.

Worgen Form Traits

While transformed into a worgen, the inner beast suppresses some of your skills and instead grants you bestial prowess.

Size. Your worgen form is slightly larger than your human form, typically just under 7 or 8 feet tall.

Speed. You base walking speed is 35 feet, and you have a climbing speed of 20 feet.

Bite. Your fanged maw is a natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with it, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier.

Natural Leaper. Your long jump distance is 30 feet and your high jump distance is 15 feet, with or without a running start.

Thick Fur. You thick furred hide helps protect you. When you aren't wearing armor, your AC is 12 + your Dexterity modifier. You can use your natural armor to determine your AC if the armor you wear would leave you with a lower AC. A shield's benefits apply as normal while you use your natural armor.

Variant: Night Elf Worgen

Some worgen come from the Druids of the Pack, a night elven druid circle that originated the worgen curse. In addition to having the Age and Languages ability of the night elven race, these worgen have the following traits while in their night elven form: Elusiveness, Shadowmeld, Ultravision, and a 35 foot movement speed.
