Homebrew Geckling Species Details
Gecklings are a humanoid race derived from geckos. Standing between 1.5-2.5 feet in height and weighing around 15-25 pounds in weight. they have sticky hands and feet allowing them to climb up almost any surface. they have exceptional darkvision.
They have extremely fragile skin/flesh and can easily drop their tails in fright or as a defence mechanism (If a geckling drops their tail, the geckling takes 4 hit points of damage, however this is render temporary if the geckling is able to grow its tail back. which case the hit points will be regained after a long rest). If Geckling is startled or frightened then player must roll a D20, if they roll below a 10 then they take 4 damage if they roll over a 10 they take no damage and keep their tail).
most gecko races can grow their tails back. They have a vulnerability to fire and any kind of man made or magical poisons (eroding). They do however due to the frills on their feet that they use to climb have a resistance to poisons from natural sources (aka plants).
most gecklings find themselves along the path of magic but you do get the brave few who wander into the adventurer's realms.
There are stories that over a thousand years ago there was a druid that transformed into a gecko and never turned human again. The Gecko folk believe this druid went on to be a god of kinds and most gecko folk worship and give thanks to the once druid for giving them the lives they have now. offerings are given to the ancient druid god in forms of precious rocks. Although some gecko folk don't come from high in society so pretty rocks have to do. Most Gecko folk are Neutral good however you do get some gecko folk who stray into the use of darker magics in a bid to better themselves.
Nearly all gecko folk tend to have big personalities and are very touchy towards anyone mentioned their size. They cover up their nervous disposition by being overly quick to jump into sticky situations. They always seem to be intimidated by larger folk however if you gain a gecko folks trust then you have a friend for life.
