Homebrew D&D 5E Race: Changed's Latex Anthro (Former Human) Species Details
SPOILER ALERT: IF YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED CHANGED, DON'T READ FURTHER UNTIL YOU DO!
Represents Dr. K or Colin from Changed. I am writing as if you are playing as 1 or the other, if you are not playing as if your character is K or Colin, you might ignore Alignment and some plot explanations below.
As K is not seen as much as Colin or Puro, and Colin's true form is only in the true ending, I have little to go by.
Age: I'm not sure, as I've never heard of a latex dying of old age. Maybe regular human age (70-90).
Alignment: Hard to tell. Colin is trying to get out just for himself and Puro, so I'd say Chaotic Neutral, K is fighting for the last of humanity, but does make some hard decisions, so I found it harder to figure his alignment out, possibly Neutral or Chaotic Good.
Languages: Common and 1 other.
Note: work in progress.
D&D 5E Race: Changed's Latex Anthro (Former Human) Traits
Based on the fact that latexes are basically made of liquid latex.Ability Score increase
Ability Score increase: Increase 1 of your character's ability scores by 2, and dexterity by 1. Latexes are variable, but dexterous.
Latex Form
You don't need to eat or drink, as latex can pull the moisture from the air and feed off background radiation. (Seeing as they don't need a host I needed an explanation for why latexes don't need sustenance.)
You also have Resistance to acid and poison damage.
Latex Movement
Latex Movement: Movement through solid objects such as closed doors is possible if they are not watertight by gaps, eg in between the door and floor. You need only 1 inch between objects to move between. If you end up still between objects after moving, you take 1d6 force damage, and are moved to the nearest open space.
Latex Shapechange
Latex Shapechange: Can change between these forms as a bonus action, 3 uses between long rests, wolf is the default for both Colin and K, since it's their canon seen forms, and they live for others.
Wolf: Doubles their proficiency bonus for attack roles and saving throws that they are proficient in if they can see a conscious ally within 10 feet of them.
Cat: Speed increase of +10 ft. +2 to dex saves and ability checks.
Shark: Swimming speed of 30 ft. Can breathe underwater.
Dragon: Flying speed of 30 ft.
If I can think of any other good canon forms, they'll go here.
