Homebrew Ytt Species Details

The Ytt are a race of creatures from far below. Akin to their siblings, Doppelgangers, they've come into the world and blended themselves into the people of the world. Their faces are not truly known, except for a small horde that lives far below the surface, but even then, the darkness can hide their true form. Much of their own ability lies in their capabilities to blend into the world around them. 

Ytt Traits

Ytt do not truly have any face, they take on the face of someone else they've encountered in their past.

Read Thoughts

The doppelganger magically reads the surface thoughts of one creature within 60 feet of it. The effect can penetrate barriers, but 3 feet of wood or dirt, 2 feet of stone, 2 inches of metal, or a thin sheet of lead blocks it. While the target is in range, the doppelganger can continue reading its thoughts, as long as the doppelganger's concentration isn't broken (as if concentrating on a spell). While reading the target's mind, the doppelganger has advantage on Wisdom (Insight) and Charisma (Deception, Intimidation, and Persuasion) checks against the target.

Ability Score Increase

As a Doppelganger, your Charisma increases by 2 and your Dexterity increases by 1.
