Homebrew Demastr Species Details
Demastrs are humanoid adapters, which is to say they adapt to their surroundings over short periods of time. They are incredibly strong and fast in addition, making them ideal for physical combat. They typically live in humid areas, and prefer rain forests over other biomes. Outside of their own race, most don't understand their physiology, as they can also change their appearance (Which only acts as a disguise and does not make stat changes, unlike adapt). Being incredibly rare on top of that, most consider them a sign of good luck. No one knows of any Demastrs dying of age in history.
Demastr Traits
Demastrs can adapt in short periods of time, making their circumstances "bend to their will"Adapt
As a bonus action, you may choose to "Adapt", which is to say that you gain proficiency(ies) in your current situation. You may do this two (2) times per short rest at level one, 4 times per short rest at level five, 6 at level 10 and so on.
When you gain a proficiency in a certain area, you may increase your base movement speed in that area, or if you had your speed reduced (e.g. difficult terrain) you can return to your default speed. In addition, you may become resistant or immune to environmental DoT.
Change Apperance
As an action, you can transform your appearance or revert to your natural form. You can’t duplicate the appearance of a creature you’ve never seen, and you revert to your natural form if you die.
You decide what you look like, including your height, weight, facial features, the sound of your voice, coloration, hair length, sex, and any other distinguishing characteristics. You can make yourself appear as a member of another race, though none of your game statistics change. You also can’t appear as a creature of a different size than you, and your basic shape stays the same; if you’re bipedal, you can’t use this trait to become quadrupedal, for instance. Your clothing and other equipment don’t change in appearance, size, or shape to match your new form, requiring you to keep a few extra outfits on hand to make the most compelling disguise possible.
Even to the most astute observers, your ruse is usually indiscernible. If you rouse suspicion, or if a wary creature suspects something is amiss, you have advantage on any Charisma (Deception) check you make to avoid detection.
