Horrifically Overpowered Species Traits for PF1 (Patreon)

So, first, a note.

Between the burst pipe in the game room, my wife getting surgery on her hand, massive unexpected bills, and the normal stresses and issues of my life. I have been off-balance for nearly a month now. I've worked to make sure you all get regular content, but it hasn't been the PLANNED content.

I hope to get back to normal soon. But it is not this day.

I got a request for Horrifically Overpowered Species Traits for Pathfinder 1e. My brain told me I could crank those out in 15 minutes. It took 25.

You could either access these through HO feats (One feat per trait, or maybe one feat per two traits), or a GM could just run a game with Super Species with Horrifically Overpowered Traits, and let the chips land where they may.

This covers every standard trait from every standard species in PF1. Where multiple species have different traits with the same name (Hatred, Weapon Familiarity, and so on) the name of the species for each version is listed.

As always, paying Patrons can find this, and all other HO content, at the Index of Horrifically Overpowered Content.
