Homebrew Akradech Species Details
Since the dawn of creation, the Akradech have wandered the unending lands to a destination even they do not know. Requiring little shelter and needing only sun and water for sustenance, a group of Akradech can pick up and move at a moment’s notice without leaving a trace. They typically travel in groups of 30 or less, splitting into two groups if their numbers exceed that. Though atypical, some Akradech strike off alone, but even they do not stay in one place for too long.
Akradech Traits
With high physical flexibility and endurance and an intelligence the equal of most Chosen, the typical Akradech is highly adaptable and can take on almost any role.Motility
Though normally humanoid in shape, Akradech can reshape their vines to take on a multitude of forms, giving limited shape-shifting ability. Akradech are effective combatants only in humanoid form.

Trance
Akradech don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.
Languages
You can speak, read, and write Common and Akradechi as well as one other language of your choice.
