Homebrew Eliksni Species Details
The Eliksni are a nomadic race of four-armed, bipedal humanoids. Most that exist currently organize themselves into Houses led by ruthless Kells. House unity is fickle, as most Eliksni will only follow power, with House alliances being even more so.
Houses are organized into a strict hierarchy with Kells at the top, their actions and ideals being decided by the leaders in place. Kells become these leaders often by performing heroic acts or proving themselves by overcoming insurmountable odds. It is possible for an Eliksni to rise to Kellhood and challenge the existing Kell for the right to lead.
Of the remaining houses, yours is the loosely established House of Wolves, a small group of survivors who managed to escape the impending collapse of their original home.
Eliksni Traits
Your Eliksni character has the following traits:Secondary Arms
Most Eliksni possess four arms, allowing them to use actions otherwise prohibited when wielding a weapon & shield, two-handed weapon, or dual wielding.
Whilst their secondary limbs aren't dexterous enough to wield anything more than simple weapons, they can be used to stow or use items & ingredients, grapple an opponent, or perform the somatic components of spells while their primary arms are otherwise engaged.
These arms also grant the Eliksni the advantage of climbing sheer surfaces with more ease than most.
Note that this does not mean they can take multiple actions.
