Racial Features

Awakened Vitality

Your body is remade from within. You have Hit Point maximums increased by 1, and by 1 again whenever you gain a character level.

Usage: :none

Fever Recollection

Your awakening dreams left fragments of impossible knowledge. You gain proficiency in one skill of your choice from among Arcana, Nature, Religion, Medicine, or Survival, and you can change that proficiency whenever you finish a Long Rest, as your mutation reshapes your instincts overnight.

Usage: none

Surge of the X Gene

When you are reduced to half your Hit Point maximum or fewer, your mutation flares. Until the end of your next turn, you have Advantage on one attack roll you make, and your movement speed increases by 10 feet. Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a Short or Long Rest.

Usage: 1/short or long rest

Rules Compatibility

Primary Ruleset D&D 5.5 / SRD 5.2
Compatible Rulesets D&D 5.5 / SRD 5.2, D&D 5e / SRD 5.1
Ability Scores Lineage-based (+2/+1 per lineage), consistent with SRD 5.2 species structure.
Balance Notes Base species provides no ability score increases; each lineage completes a valid +3 package (+2/+1). Traits are tuned to official species benchmarks: a cantrip lineage trait mirrors Magic Runner-style minor spellcasting, and combat traits avoid stacking resistances, flight, armor, and bonus-action spells.
