Homebrew Kasatha Species Details

Kasathas are a nomadic humanoid race that roam across vast deserts. They are a clannish and secretive people with a matriarchal society, but other races have difficulty recognizing any physical difference between females and males. They keep their mouths hidden behind clothing, and don’t remove this clothing in the presence of other races. They are omnivores, but prefer meat and salty foods. Upon reaching adulthood, many kasathas leave their clans to search the world for adventure or treasure. A renegade few decide to forsake their clan and spend their life adventuring. This ritual “tempering” allows young adults to undergo a period of self-discovery before they assume their adult responsibilities.

Tetrabrachius

You have an additional pair of arms, however all of your arms are slimmer and weaker than those of other races your size. This fact subjects you to a special set of rules, as listed below.

  • Wielding non-light weapons and shields require two hands to use, and using heavy weapons require all four. You may also use the versatile property of a weapon by using three hands.
  • You must be wielding a light weapon in two hands to engage in multi-weapon fighting unless the weapon also has the finesse property.
  • You may take the "Use an Object" as a bonus action provided you have a free hand.
  • When you attack with an unarmed strike or with a weapon with the light and finesse properties, you may expend your reaction to make one additional unarmed strike or attack with another weapon with the light and finesse properties.
  • You may reload a hand crossbow or light crossbow as a free action action provided you have a free hand to do so.

You have the ability to go long stretches of time without food or water, and are less susceptible to exhaustion and the elements. You have advantage on Constitution checks to avoid fatigue, exhaustion, and other ill effects from running, forced marches, starvation, thirst, and hot or cold environments.

Kasathan Tongue

You know Kasathan, a gutteral and twisted spoken language that may only be spoken by the Kasatha. Though other races may learn to understand the language, they would be incapable of speaking it.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common but can not speak it or any other language you may know, as the kasatha do not have the proper muscles to do so. Kasatha communicate these other languages through weak telepathy that can be heard within a 30 ft. radius.
