Cephalafolk Traits
Cephalafolk TraitsAmphibious Nature
You can breathe both air and water.
Camouflage Skin
At 3rd level, you can cast Disguise Self once per long rest. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for this trait.
Cephalopod Agility
You can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing, as long as you're not wearing heavy armor.
Tentacular Grip
This does not grant an extra attack, but can allow for flavor actions like grappling or holding things.
At 5th level, you can use your tentacles to make a special unarmed attack (1d4 bludgeoning + you may attempt a grapple as a bonus action, once per turn).
Problem Solver
Additionally, you may reroll a failed Intelligence (Investigation) or Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check once per long rest.
Ink Cloud (Octopus Variant Only)
You can choose to impose disadvantage on the triggering attack roll, and create a 10 ft. radius heavily obscured area centered on yourself until the end of your next turn. This does not function outside of water unless you flavor it with magical mist or vapor.
