Homebrew Mothfolk Species Details
A happy, bubbly, quirky, fickle, and impulsive race. The Mothfolk are typically forgetful, easily distracted. Any moth that has even the slightest attention span and intelligence quickly rises the ranks, and becomes a respected member of their Constitutional Monarchy. Mothfolk are generally peaceful, and aggressively avoid conflict with other, stronger societies. The stereotype of the air-headed Mothfolk is incredibly well known across all of the planes. On the rare occasion when a Mothfolk does actually descend into evil, they find it easy to catch their prey off guard. No one suspects these seemingly harmless creatures of evil intent, until a poisoned dagger is already six inches into their spine.

4 Weapons. Their vestigial arms are weak, but fast and nimble, making them dexterous enough to wield multiple weapons.

They may use the defensive duelist feat, but the feat does not double due to having more than 2 weapons.
4 Shields. Their vestigial arms are strong, but stiff and slow, making them strong enough to wield multiple shields. The Mothfolk may wield a maximum of 4 shields. If a Mothfolk wields more than one shield, they cannot fly, and their movement speed is reduced to 15. A mothfolk with 4 shields can spend an action to duck under a shield dome, and be behind full cover.
Parrying hands. Their vestigial arms act defensively, without conscious effort of the Mothfolk. +2 AC.
