About this ancestry

Nightpaw resemble nighttime critters, mostly raccoons and opossums. They have a strong nocturnal nature, requiring them to use either caffeine or sheer willpower to remain awake during the day. They are also known for their slender and endlessly dexterous hands. If so inclined, they can eat or handle the grimiest of objects without getting sick (until they... do).

[How do you stay awake during the day?|Why do you stare like that?]

Design Notes: Some ancestries boost certain trait rolls: I've never been fond of how that encourages a specific ancestry into a specific class. Features written like Nimble Hands is how I'm solving that. Scheming gives players the flexibility to work on projects without sacrificing healing up during a rest.
