On average, D'horvakk die slightly younger than their Zaelyth and Keth'rassa kin, because many take up warrior paths and active service.

Features

• Dual-Form Perception

  You can sense, within 30 feet, the broad emotional state of any sapient creature whose mind is not warded or alien to your perceptual frequency. You cannot read specific thoughts.

• Ancestral Memory-Pool (Martial Inheritance)

  Your memory-pool favors martial inheritance. Once per long rest, when you make a check related to weapons, warfare, tactical history, fortification, or recognition of arms and insignia, you treat the result as if you had rolled a 17 (instead of the baseline 15), then add your modifiers. For non-martial memory-pool checks, the baseline 15 still applies.

• Resonance-Reading

  You can sense the presence and broad Channel of active Rift energy within 60 feet, distinguishing channeled effects from ambient. You cannot identify specific spells by this sense alone.

• Battle-Honed Frame

  You are broader, heavier, and slightly taller than other Istryxian sublineages. Your carrying capacity is doubled, and you have advantage on Strength saving throws to avoid being moved, shoved, or knocked Prone. You also gain proficiency with one martial melee weapon of your choice, such as a traditional D'horvakk blade or polearm, and with one type of medium or heavy armor.

• Warrior's Inheritance

  When you reduce a hostile creature to 0 hit points in melee combat, you can use your reaction to grant an ally within 30 feet of you who can see or hear you temporary hit points equal to your character level. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus per long rest.
