Hiraeth Ancestry System

THIS SYSTEM IS BEING PULLED INTO THE NORMAL RACE DOCUMENTS FOR THE HAG.  Ongoing Feedback will be moved to there.

This playtest document presents a new experimental system for character ancestry in our version of fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons in HAG. These game mechanics are in draft form and are a second iteration after a first round 7 months ago. These rules aren’t officially part of the game yet and are presented for you to try out and provide feedback on.

Our goal with this system is to offer greater flexibility and customization in representing a character's heritage, allowing players to mix, match, and define their ancestral abilities in new ways.

In this system, your character's ancestry represents their lineage and innate capabilities. Instead of selecting a single race with a fixed set of traits, you'll use Ancestry Points (AP) to purchase Ancestry Traits, drawing from one chosen ancestries (like Human, Elf, Dwarf, etc.) or two if you choose from one of the two half race options.

Ancestry Traits

Ancestry Traits are the building blocks of this system. They represent specific physiological features, aptitudes, or cultural legacies tied to an ancestry. Think of them as modular components you can select to build the character you envision.

Ability Score Adjustments

When determining your character’s ability scores from their Ancestry, you must choose one of the following two options. This choice applies regardless of which Ancestry you select:

• Option A (The Spread): Gain the Fixed +1 bonus listed in your Ancestry's Base Traits, choose one additional Ability Score to increase by +1, and choose one Ability Score to decrease by -1; these can not stack with eachother or other abilities gained from this system.

• Option B (The Focus): Choose any one Ability Score to increase by +1.

Ancestry Points (AP)

You begin character creation with a base pool of 3 Ancestry Points to "buy" Ancestry Traits.

Most traits have a cost (typically 1 to 3 AP), reflecting their mechanical impact. While your base pool is small, you will expand it by defining your character's weaknesses in the Flaws section below.

Gaining Ancestry Points. There are no mechanisms to gain more AP after character creation unless a specific "life event" occurs, such as aging. Your build is defined at the start.

Flaws

Perfection is myth; true heroes are defined as much by their weaknesses as their strengths. In this system, flaws are not just roleplay suggestions—they are mandatory components of your character’s identity that fuel their greatest strengths.

The Rule of Two. To ensure every adventurer is grounded and distinct, you are required to select two flaws during character creation.

The Rule of Relevance (The "Anti-Cheese" Clause). A flaw must be a burden, not a background detail. You cannot select a flaw that imposes a penalty on a statistic or situation that your class naturally ignores (e.g., a Wizard taking a penalty to Strength checks).  Do not use this system to min-max. If a selected flaw does not present a meaningful mechanical risk or narrative hurdle to your specific character build, it grants 0 Ancestry Points. The GM has final veto power on any flaw that violates this spirit.

The Heritage Requirement. At least one of your two flaws must be selected from your specific Ancestry’s Negative Traits list (e.g., Draconic Flaws for Dragonborn, The Price of Divinity for Aasimar). This ensures your weakness is tied to your lineage.

The Universal Option. Your second flaw may be chosen from either your Ancestry list or the Universal Flaws list.

Flaw Value Each flaw grants you additional Ancestry Points (AP) equal to the value listed next to it (usually +1 or +2).

Standard Build. Base (3 AP) + Flaw A (+1 AP) + Flaw B (+1 AP) = 5 Total AP.

High-Risk Build. If you select a severe flaw worth +2 AP (such as Elemental Vulnerability), your total AP will be higher, allowing for more powerful traits at the cost of a debilitating weakness.  For every flaw you take past the two required ones they only provide you with 1 AP up to 3 AP then they are worth nothing.

Designer Note: The "Flaw Burden" mechanics (Focus Slip, Restless Blood, etc.) have been removed. You no longer suffer cumulative mechanical penalties for having flaws; you simply suffer the specific effects of the flaws you chose.
