Darkfur Ratfolk

Darkfur ratfolk are cynical like their windfoot counterparts, and just as introverted, but they have a knack for blending into society. They prefer to live on the fringes of the nation's cities. Many disdain authority, but simply attempt to keep away from law enforcement, believing they will be left alone if they leave others alone. The dark hair on their bodies gives them an advantage in dark environments.

Duplicity

You have proficiency in the Deception skill.

Shadow Blend

Your fur conceals you. You can attempt to hide in areas of dim light.

Windfoot Ratfolk

Windfoot ratfolk fit well the rebellious nature of their race; they have no love for civilization and laws, preferring the freedom and unpredictability of the wilderness. Most windfoot ratfolk are cautious and untrusting of others who come near their territory, but they have keen eyes and quick feet, giving them a distinct advantage when they have to stay moving in a hostile environment.

Keen Senses

You have proficiency in the Perception skill.

Windfoot Celerity

You don't get stopped easily. During your first turn in combat, opportunity attacks against you have disadvantage and difficult terrain doesn't cost you extra movement.
