Homebrew Ferret Species Details

Laetine (LAYteen) is the species shared by ferrets and otters, their aquatic counterparts. They consider themselves two parts of the same whole because of their long, small bodies and peculiar thinking patterns. As one of the Small species awakened by Pirhoua, laetines often disappear under the sightline of the Beast World. However, they attract plenty of attention in other ways. Their electric intellect and unique problem solving skills make an impression on anyone they meet.

Ferret Traits

Noodle Body, Slippery Thoughts, Malleable Mind

Noodle Body

Your long and flexible body can squeeze into tighter spaces than anyone else—one can almost imagine pouring you into a teacup. You are treated as Tiny when determining what your body can fit into. For instance, you can squeeze through any hole your head can fit through (usually about 6 inches). Additionally, you can move through the space of any creature at least one size category larger than you, which costs you no extra movement.

Slippery Thoughts

You have resistance to psychic damage, and you are immune to the detect thoughts spell unless it was cast by another laetine

Malleable Mind

You can take control of instincts that are automatic to most people, and with focus and deliberation you can prime your mind for a task. At the end of a long rest, choose one of the following skills: Insight, Investigation, Perception, or Survival. You are proficient in that skill until you choose a different one

Ability Score Increase

Your Intelligence score increase by 2. Your Dexterity score increases by 1.

Allemance

Thanks to laetines, every city in Allemance uses mechanical wonders to serve the needs of its people. There’s a gear-headed laetine in the belfry of every Alley clocktower, and more artisans than ever are letting ferrets with outlandish schematics run wild in their workshops. Alley laetines are (a little) less fastidious and scatterbrained than their cousins in other homelands. Teams of ferrets or otter builders are often overseen by an Allemagnian to prevent infighting and feuds when a debate about proper blueprint notation turns hostile.
