Mothkin Traits
Mothkin are moth-like humanoids adorned with fur, antennae, and finely scaled wings. Though they tend to be small, some subraces are comparable in size to larger races like humans and orcs. They can be nearly any color, and have an equally wide variety of patterns on their wings. Although most colorings developed over several generations to provide camouflage, many mothkin take great pride in dyeing new, decorative patterns into their wings. However, even mothkin with more subtle natural coloring can still possess intricate and beautiful patterns on their wings. Their wings come in many shapes and sizes and may have long tails. These tails do not affect their flight abilities at all, instead existing solely to provide a distraction to predators. Most mothkin possess feathery antennae, but some may more closely resemble the clubbed antennae of butterflies. They generally have compound eyes which take up a considerable portion of their faces, providing them with darkvision at the expense of reduced resolution.Ability Score Increase
Your Dexterity score increases by 2.
Darkvision
You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of grey.
One with Nature
As Mothkin tend to be heavily involved in the natural world, you have proficiency with the Survival skill.
Lamp?
When in the presence of any major light source, you must make a DC 11 Wisdom saving throw or become disoriented by the light. Whether or not a light source would activate this is up to you and your DM (for example, a torch would not activate it but the light cantrip would). On a failure, enemies have advantage on attacks against you. You must use at least half your movement to safely move towards the light source and you cannot move away from it. You can repeat this saving throw at the beginning of your turn. Only one light source can grab your attention at a time.
Multiple Limbs
As an insectoid, you have an additional pair of arms. Your main set of arms have claws that are similar in shape to hands and can be used as such. Your second set of arms has insect-like claws and is not as versatile. These claws can be used to swim, climb, hold things or pick them up, and may work as somatic components if your DM allows it. They are, however, unable to use weapons. You may require custom armor and clothing to accommodate your wings and second set of arms.
