Exact formatting and setup for DNDB integration still a bit messy. My intention was to create a flavorful representation of the Dragonfly as a bipedal playable race.
It has some strong upsides, and a few detrimental downsides to hopefully balance it out. While I don't want to to be overpowered, I wanted to make sure it was interesting with RP potential, non-munchkin options, and as a reasonable contender for a choice among the usual munchkin options.
1) Almost all "Alienlike" D&D creatures dont have features that give them disadvantage like Fleshwarp, which I guarantee is much more freaky then your dragonflies, (no offence) I have a theory that this is due to the fact that weird "Alienlike" creatures in D&D are normal, and humans are actually the most Alienlike in this game as they are they odd one out.
2) Bite attacks dont normally scale with level, same with unarmed strikes, they just give a flat extra 1d6 like Lizardfolk, and you can label the bite as just an unarmed strike.
3) And you could make the Excellent eyes just whenever they are within 5 ft of a source of bright light. (Ex. Not 15 ft within a torch, but holding it.)
