Homebrew Gasapian Species Details

Their skin ranges from dull greens to bluish grays, with bioluminescent spots running along their sides and a large, bulbous tail used for producing their signature gas clouds.

Ability Score Increase

+2 Constitution, +1 Wisdom

Gas Cloud

As a defensive reaction, you can release a cloud of toxic gas from your tail. As an action, you can exhale a cloud in a 10-foot radius centered on you. Each creature in that area must make a Constitution saving throw (DC 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus) or take 2d6 poison damage and be poisoned for 1 minute. On a successful save, the creature takes half damage and isn’t poisoned. You can use this ability once per short or long rest, and the damage increases to 3d6 at 5th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 17th level.

Bioluminescence

Your body gives off dim light in a 10-foot radius in dark or underwater environments. You can suppress or resume this light as a bonus action.

Tough Hide

Your thick, slimy skin provides a natural defense. When not wearing armor, your AC is 13 + your Dexterity modifier.

Resistance to Poison

You have resistance to poison damage and advantage on saving throws against being poisoned.
