Kressian (Exotic Humanoid)

Long ago when the quadrapudes were hunted to near and almost absolute extinction. There existed a species of reptiles that were forced to hide out in Radium infused caves and live out in solitude. Consisting of eating what was found. Meanwhile the Radium changed them and made them into something else over 100 years of mutations. Until they all died out.

They had an off branch of exotic humans that had scaled skin and some minor empathic healing abilities. Not many of their kind exist and they became known as Kressians. But even some of their ranks were born elsewhere from the caves they grew up in and around the Ring Gates. So roughly ½ the Kressian population doesn’t even know they’re a Kressian. Living out their life usually as Warriors or Crafters. Many are stoic and soft spoken, for their empathic abilities allow them to feel others pain and as such they know words have power.

Finding place in the Realms as Warriors and healers, they could often find work anywhere. While their physical features were obvious to those around them that they were Exotic Humans. What with their scaled necks, faces and brow ridges. Varying in colors from green, dark green, orange, tan, black and sometimes brown. As well as patterns of thick scales that would cover their limbs and other areas, providing some minor dermal protection over normal skin. Much is still unknown of Kressian physiology and their creation. Kressians can mate with other Humans and Exotic Humanoids and produce offspring of their genetic mate. Or future Kressians.
