version 1.0
These are a variety of additional players options for D&D 5e. With additional sub-races, new
archetypes for every class, new feats, and more ac!"round choices, there should be somethin" useful
in here for every character.
Sub-Races:
#ot every race in 5e has sub-race options, so $ limited myself to only those that already have them,
with 1 e%ception. &t our "ame table, we always specified what type of 'lf a (alf-'lf)s parent is, and so

"reat deal of punishment and !eep "oin". They speciali.e in stayin" on their feet lon" after others
