Homebrew Apeling Species Details

You can be many different species of a monkey either small or medium sized. Apelings are basically  just a combination of an ape and a human.

Apeling Traits

Your Dexterity score increases by 2, and your Charisma score by 1. Darkvision. Apelings mature faster than humans, reaching adulthood by the age of 12, and commonly live to be around 150 years old. Apelings' love for adventure and energetic personalities often cause them to be more chaotic. Apelings are shorter but weigh about as much as most humans. Your natural agility gives you a climbing speed of 30 feet. You can also climb across ceilings, as long as you have something to hold on to. You can only have one new skill proficiency learned this way at a time. You burn through your energy faster than most humanoids and require twice as much food as a creature your size requires each day. During a long rest, anyone trying to wake you up must make a DC 15 Charisma ability check.

Eager mind

If you find someone who has a skill proficiency you don't have and they agree to teach you, you can spend a short or long rest learning that skill proficiency. You lose that skill proficiency at the end of your next long rest. You can only have one new skill proficiency learned this way at a time.

Limit break

 Apelings are always striving to push themselves. As a reaction, when you fail Strength, Dexterity or Constitution ability check or saving throw, you can remake the check and take the new result. Once you use this ability, you can't use it again until you complete a long rest.

Skills of the primate

You have proficiency in either Acrobatics or Athletics. You can use your feet and tail as if they were hands. If you use both of your feet simultaneously to interact with an object, your speed becomes 0.
