Increase one ability score by 2, and increase a different one by 1, or increase three different scores by 1.

Lepidons reach adulthood around the age of 10, and rarely live to be older than 50.

You are a Fey.

You are Medium or Small. You choose the size when you select this race.

Your walking speed is 25 feet.

Because of your wings, you have a flying speed of 40 feet. You can’t use this flying speed if you’re wearing medium or heavy armor.

You have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

You can speak, read, and write in Common. You can also speak, read, and write in Sylvan, the language of the Feywild.

The first lepidons evolved to disguise themselves as a defense mechanism against powerful monsters in the Feywild. You know the Disguise Self spell, which you can cast without expending a spell slot once per long rest. You can also cast this spell using any spell slots that you may have. Your spellcasting ability for this spell is Charisma.

Once per long rest, you can use an action to enter a special state known as Aposematism to ward off enemies. Your wings and body become brightly coloured, and a defensive toxin fills your body. After entering this state, it stays active for one minute unless you dispel it early by using a bonus action or drop to 0 hit points. You cannot concentrate on spells while Aposematism is active. While in this state, any creature that successfully hits you with a melee attack must make a Constitution saving throw with a DC equal to 8 + your Charisma modifier + your proficiency bonus. On a failed save, they take 1d10 poison damage and enter the Frightened condition. On a successful save, they take half damage and do not become frightened. At the beginning of a frightened creature's turn, they may repeat the save. They remain frightened until they either pass the save or until the Aposematism state ends.
