Because batfolk live in dark environments, almost never leaving the darkness of caves, forests or the underdark they have lost almost all use for their eyes. In order to maintain their sence of direction and the ability to see their environement, they have developed an advanced form of echolocation.

This trait grants batfolk Blindsight (50ft), however being that it relys on sound, it cannot see through walls, water, and it doesn’t work at all when either silenced, or deafened.

Evolving very good hearing is a great advantage for the most part, saddly this came with the consequence of becoming highly sensitve to loud sounds. 

When taking any form of thunder damage, batfolk lose 10ft of their blindsight until they take a short rest or are healed in anyway. Batfolk also take much more damage from thunder damage making them very vunderable against certain enemies.

Because Batfolk rely mostly on their sence of hearing, they have most of their need for eyes. only using them when looking for small details or to see their pray.

Batfolk’s vision is quite bad, and is even worse in very dark lighting, meaning they can only see 10ft while in a dark environement.

Typically, batfolk have a better time seeing in more dim lighting because it’s what their eyes are adapted for. however, their vision is still quite bad only being around 15ft in the best of conditions

When in bright light however their eyes can’t see almost anything mailt because their eyes take in too much light. this can cause a bit of discomfort which will cause them to lose consentration while in bright environements (they fail all concentration checks while in bright light). because of the discormfort, and the fact their eyes just see blobs of color for the most part, they only have vision upto 5ft in dark lighting.

(i think i nerfed them too much 💀)

Batfolk are born with a nasty set of fangs, these fangs do 2d4 of damage and heal for half the damage delt.

Batfolk are born with a delecate pair of wings. they have a flightspeed of 30ft per round and use this flight to traverse the caves they inhabit. in order to use this flight, you cannot be wearing any medium or heavy weight armor.
