"Woof! Dogfolk Races" is a charming, accessible and reasonably-priced series of homebrew player races for the fifth and most recent edition of the popular tabletop fantasy role-playing game known as Dungeons and Dragons.
The Retrieverkin are a gentle yet sturdy sub-race of dogfolk heavily based on labrador retriever dogs and their friendly temperaments.
This sub-race of dogfolk and its aspects are clearly explained in a simple, user-friendly PDF document (viewable via Adobe Acrobat and similar programs) which is only about four pages long.
The first page introduces the concept and origins of dogfolk as a whole as well as what makes retrieverkin unique.
The second page includes a short list of pre-set forenames and surnames for retrieverkind, male, female and otherwise.
The third page lists all racial traits and abilities which come with the retrieverkin sub-race of dogfolk, namely ability score increases, walking speed, language proficiencies and unique abilities.
And the fourth and final page briefly details a shorter-haired variant of retrieverkin known as the "labran" and their differing abilities.
Personally, I'm truly grateful for these homebrew player sub-races to have been made as a canine counterpart to the feline tabaxi. I especially like how both the retrieverkin and poodlemen sub-races were faithfully based on their real-life feral counterparts.
My only complaint is that I wish all dogfolk races shared an increase in the Wisdom ability score to facilitate their superior senses of smell and hearing.
Apart from that, I consider "Woof! Dogfolk Races" to be a delightfully accessible homebrew race best-suited for dog enthusiasts and animal lovers alike!
