Homebrew Dromite Species Details

Dromite society is entirely without sex and gender save for their Grand Queens and Elected Consorts. These two individuals are selected every year from prominent dromites within the city-hive to form a single breeding pair and populate the new generation of dromites. The Grand Queen and Elected Consort for each city-hive are often consumed by the need to keep the race populous, and rarely issues proclamations as other rulers would.

Dromites form bonds with one another called "life bonds." These life bonds often include more than two dromites. Life bonds cycle in new members as the older dromites age and die. These life bonds bear some resemblance to parents in a family and will raise young dromites and have them adopt the life bond name. Life bonds include members across the different castes of dromite society.

Dromite society is divided into four distinct castes:

• Members of the Fire Caste have strong emotions and are potent fighters.
• Members of the Ice Caste are methodical and precise to a fault.
• Members of the Voice Caste are performers above all else and love to sing.
• Members of the Glimmer Caste are restless and tireless chasers of their goals.

Dromite Traits

Dromites are naturally psionic and can track creatures using their antennae. Their insectoid wings allow them to fly.

Antennae

Your antennae, along with your innate psionic abilities, provide a measure of sensitivity to the presence of other life forms. This originally was used to coordinate among dromites in large hives, but can be used to detect other creatures as well. You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks to detect living creatures, such as to find a creature behind total cover, or to find a hidden or invisible creature.

Insectoid Wings

Adult dromites emerge from chrysalis with wings, allowing them to fly. You have a flying speed equal to your walking speed.

Ability Score increase

Dromites are naturally dextrous and agile, partially due to their small size and the inherent need for coordination in their hive cities. You gain a +2 to their dexterity score.
