Homebrew Apeling Species Details

Apeling Traits

A race of nimble and strong monkey-like people.

Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score increases by 2, and your Charisma score by 1.

Age. Apelings mature faster than humans, reaching adulthood by the age of 12, and commonly live to be around 150 years old.

Alignment. Apelings' love for adventure and energetic personalities often cause them to be more chaotic.

Size. Apelings are shorter but weigh about as much as most humans. Your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 35 feet.

Adept Climbers. Your natural agility gives you a climbing speed of 30 feet. You can also climb across ceilings, as long as you have something to hold on to.

Eager Mind. If you find someone who has a skill proficiency you don't have and they agree to teach you, you can spend a short or long rest learning that skill proficiency. You lose that skill proficiency at the end of your next long rest. You can only have one new skill proficiency learned this way at a time.

Empty Stomach. You burn through your energy faster than most humanoids and require twice as much food as a creature your size requires each day.

Heavy Slumber. During a long rest, anyone trying to wake you up must make a DC 15 Charisma ability check. Taking damage will wake you up as will being thrown into or splashed with water.

Limit Break. Apelings are always striving to push themselves. As a reaction, when you fail Strength, Dexterity or Constitution ability check or saving throw, you can remake the check and take the new result. Once you use this ability, you can't use it again until you complete a long rest.

Skills of the Primate. You have proficiency in either Acrobatics or Athletics. You can use your feet and tail as if they were hands. If you use both of your feet simultaneously to interact with an object, your speed becomes 0.

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 gray.

Languages. You can speak, read and write Common and one other language of your choice.
