Homebrew Pech Species Details

They bare a resemblance to gnomes, but have a skin tone that ranges from dark brown and dull grey skin, to pale yellow. Their skin also has a toughness comparable to that of granite. Their eyes are large, lack pupils, and reflect light like an owl or cat. Their arms and legs are thin and gangly, ending in abnormally large and powerful hands. Their hair tend to grow either wiry or as thick manes, the color of wet clay.

When pechs gathered together, they can mold stone as if it were clay, conjure walls of stone out of thin air, as well as petrify and un-petrify living creatures. Though some pechs are known to be powerful enough to perform these things on their own, as well as learn the details of surroundings by listening to the stone.

Outside of being able to petrify or un-petrify creatures, pechs themselves are entirely immune to the condition.

Pech names

Pech names resemble the scrapings of stone or other mineral to another, and are often impossible to pronounce by other races, nor would they give their real names willingly even if someone could pronounce them. When interacting with other races, Pech often use names that describe a task they enjoy, or use names given to them by people they have connected with.

Ability Score Increases

When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one score by 2 and increase a different score by 1. Follow this rule regardless of the method you use to determine the scores, such as rolling or point buy.
