Homebrew Lichen Species Details

The Lichen people evolved from a symbiotic organism of Algae, Fungi, and Plants, and now mainly reside in remote natural areas. Common folk only know of their presence as a mysterious being spotted briefly by a wandering adventurer. They are characterized by their green, plantlike skin and hair, and yellow eyes.

Lichen Traits

Lichen rely heavily on their plantlike nature for their abilities

Lichen Skin

Lichens choose either Barkskin or Grassfoot, granting a +2 to constitution, or +2 to dexterity and proficiency in the same saving throw, respectively. In addition, barkskins receive proficiency in Survival, while Grassfeet receive proficiency in stealth 

Symbiotic Life

Lichen can grow nearly plant/algal/fungal organism on their own body at will if they have been exposed to it previously, and as such are never short on components for spellcasting/brewing/cooking which they can grow.

Physical Characteristics

Lichen people can stand anywhere from 5 to 10 feet tall. They can weigh from 150 to 400 pounds. Lichens generally live 150 years, coming of age around 40 years.
