I created the Verdan! Complete with 7 custom heads and both Tall and Short bodytypes. I loved the idea of these goblinoids and wanted to figure out a way to play them since they first appeared in the C-Team and now we can all play them in BG3!

Changelogs
Version 9.0.0.0
Added racial icon, That-Which-Endures deity w/icon, fixed Wide head ears for tall fem and tall and short mascs. New head! Custom icons should work in Patch 7, Patch 6 players (like me) will need to wait for them to be added to ImprovedUI.
Version 8.0.0.0
Fully implements LODs from 1-4 (about 15 LOD objects per head), so there should be no disappearing (or pink) heads no matter what you r zoom is. Also, added ActionResources at the roottemplate level, to fix them disappearing for some people in 7.0.0.0.
Version 7.0.0.0
Fixed lingering movement issue. It looks like some people will be able to keep their existing saves, while others may not. I've very sorry about that everyone.
Version 6.0.0.0
Fixed movement speed bugs on small Verdans. Added LODs to all the heads. Thanks to Jaybee524 for letting me know and sorry it took so long to fix.
Version 5.0.0.0
Fixed Stats, so they scale with modes of play correctly. Thank you to Drcysmn and DemonEyesZero for their help.
Version 4.0.0.0
Fixed a conflict with Ulitharid - playable Mind Flayers's race by JBJ_3Dart, which was causing crossed progression tables.
Version 3.0.0.0
I added the Goblin tag and removed darkvision, as they weren't supposed to get it (thank you to DemonEyesZero for bringing my attention to it)
Version 2.0.0.0
Initial release
The Verdan implementation is based on the Acquisitions Incorporated sourcebook. Their limited telepathy is simulated with having access to the detect thoughts option in dialog. The black blood healing is implemented by adding your level to incoming heals, BG3 handles short rests and regaining HP with hit dice a little different than tabletop and this seemed about right to me. They have their telepathic insight to give them advantage on Wisdom and Charisma saves, as well as proficiency in Persuasion. I couldn't figure out a way to give you an option to swap height when you get an ASI, but I'll keep trying and update if I crack it.
I hope you enjoy them!
A very special thanks to Padme4000, for extremely helpful tutorials and videos; and to Trips, for their Whispers of the Fey mods, which inspired me to believe I could make the Verdan race for BG3!
-Heads- Half-Githyanki Heads (Vemperan's Other Heads Fixed) by Vemperen and Dufresne12
A huge thanks to those original mod authors for permission to publish these patches! Now, while most of the options work great out-of-the-box, there are some gaps between my custom heads and some hairs. I'm looking into a way to adjust the scalp to accommodate and maybe a way to apply a specifically modified head, in the cases where the gaps are very noticeable.
