Decapodian Traits
As a Decapodian player character, you have the following traits.Sea Legs
You have advantage on saving throws against being knocked prone.
Pincers
You have an additional set of arms, which end in large pincers. Your pincers are natural weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with them, you deal your choice of slashing or bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier. These claws can't precisely manipulate anything and can't wield weapons, magic items, or other specialized equipment. Additionally you gain advantage on checks made to grapple or hold grapples with these pincers.
Crunch
When you have a creature grappled with your pincers you can make an unarmed strike with the same claw you are grappling with. If you hit with it, you deal slashing or bludgeoning damage equal to 1d8 + your Strength modifier, instead of bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.
Luminescence
As a bonus action, you can emit dim light in a radius of 15 feet centered on you. You can end this effect as a bonus action. Once per day, you can cause the dim light to become bright light, no action required. This bright light lasts for one minute or until you end it as a bonus action. You count as being proficient with either Intimidation or Persuasion when this trait is active. This can't be changed later.
