Homebrew Ancestries


Ancestries & Backgrounds


I’m trying to start my players up with the Playtest, however we don’t want to abandon the characters made while the campaign was in 5e. The tricky part is one of them is a Tortle, the other is a Goliath with storm giant heritage. How would I go about converting these two characters?

Side note I am thinking of having the stats go like this:
Tortle: Plus stats are Wisdom, constitution, free, with a flaw to dexterity
Storm Goliath: Plus to Dexterity, Constitution/Charisma, free; with a flaw to Wisdom/Intelligence.
I’d appreciate any input for Ancestry Feats, and Stats, thanks.


Probably not the best idea to work on homebrew since anything is possibly up for change so you'll probably have to redo it again later. If I recall correctly, Paizo said they were going to do another pass on Ancestries, especially with heritage feats.

Also no telling if your players will stick with the playtest, so that would be some amount of work wasted if they don't.

Back to the subject at hand though, for the minimal amount of work, I would just refluff/flavor an already existing ancestry to meet my needs.


Races are quite easy & fun to homebrew in 2E. I have five custom races with full ancestry feat support here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13j-gai86Lc8MM3p6fg0GB5ztsxe6R_WIGDxGBCa wZog/edit

So far they're testing great, although I haven't homebrewed as many elemental spells as I'd like for the options that grant them.

There's an extra space in it. I can only imagine that's a safety thing on the Paizo forums? Remove the space and it works fine.
