Homebrew Overpowered Player Race Species Details

Purposefully OP race. Called the Opiar in their native tongue and sometimes munchkins in Common, they look just like humans(or lots of other races in low light, if you squint) but are really ambitious and cunning and combative. Despite their many gifts they have a tragic history and lots of struggles. They are a nomadic people who like to wander and seek adventure and fortune. They seek victory by any means, but in a way are easygoing and don't mind befriending others if it gets them closer to their goals.

Alignment

Opiar are almost always Chaotic Stupid in practice regardless of their professed alignment, due to their disregard for traditions that don't get them closer to winning.

Age

Opiar mature at the same rate as humans, but can live as long as elves, but (un)fortunately a lot of them don't.

Language

The language of the opiar sounds familiar, but for mysterious reasons is not quite understandable to most other races due to them not really being interested in learning it. According to the opiar, it is an oligosynthetic agglutinative language with split ergativity that is highly analytic and inflected in nature. The writing system is a logo-syllabary that makes extensive use of stick figures.
