Aardfolk (Aardvark Folk) Traits
*Sniff sniff*Size
Your size is Small. Aardfolk stand around 4' tall and weigh around 200 lbs.
Speed
Aardfolk are a squat folk, able to move underground often times just as fast as they can move above ground. Your base walking and burrowing speeds are 25ft. You are able to breathe freely and move normally while encased in dirt, sand, loose stone, rocks, and other earthly materials so long as they are not harmful in temperature (lava, glacial ice, etc.) or greater in size than your palm (boulders, loose cinder blocks, etc).
Alignment
Alignment
Advantageous Schnoz
Your protruding snout allows you to smell like no other. You have advantage on perception, nature and survival checks that rely on smell.
General Tom-Diggery
You are accustomed to burrowing deep into the earth below you. As an Aardfolk you have a burrowing speed of 30ft. You are able to breathe freely and move normally while encased in dirt, sand, loose stone, rocks, and other earthly materials that are not harmful to you so long as you are not encased in solid matter larger than the size of your palm. (Ex. you cant breathe if you're being crushed by boulders)
Move Dirt! Get Out The Way!
Experienced in the ways of excavation you know the [spell]Mold Earth[spell/] cantrip.
Absolute Shade
Aardfolk are a folk accustomed to burrowing deep underground only to be surprised by an inexplicably well lit abandoned dungeon awaiting a group of travelling adventurers. As a result they have developed a resistant to radiant damage.
Languages
Aardish speak a quick and yippy language, written like a game of Tic Tac Toe. You can speak read and write Aardish and Common.
Comments
what advantage do we have on smell checks? +5? +8?
Advantage on perception, nature and survival checks that rely on smell means that any rolls using those skills are at advantage. Signifying that you would roll two twenty-sided dice and take the highest of the two numbers.
Best race ever made
Thank you Halflingrogueguy12!!
One of my players is using this race and is going up to people and sniffing their faces, he almost got put in prison for doing this to the king but escaped
This race is awesome! If you care to hear an outsiders advice on some things to clean up, see below:
4' tall and 200 pounds is not much different than an average dwarf, and they are considered Medium.
Also your 25' burrowing speed under Speed contradicts the burrowing speed in General Tom-Diggery.
Doesn't change a thing really other than making it more in line with other races. I'd also consider adding a +2 Dex bonus or something of that nature to make it more appealing.
Hey- great race. Very clever ability namings. Question: what is the ability score increase this race gets (if at all)?
Ps. I would love one of my players to make an Aardfolk barbarian with boulder sized hands (so he can....you know....burrow through boulder fields:):)
i dunno what the heck this is
this looks awesome im def gonna use this as a caracter and as a npc. Im also gonna get this made into a miniture.
This is gonna fit in great with my new campaign this is gonna legit make me so happy
thats a pretty funny idea maybe ill do that to my friends in game
I see your Arthur reference. I see what you did there sir/madam/other variant.
Doesn't Automatically add the mold-earth cantrip and i cant force a spell into my character sheet :/
neat
Cool race. Funny story, halflingrougeguy12
