Homebrew Geeg Species Details

The Geeg are the deepest feelings and emotions of the divine given physical form. These creatures, which take the form of short-furred, almost hairless canids and felids with long tapering tails and solid-colored eyes that reflect the cosmos, are psionically inclined, using the raw power of their mind to manifest spells or augment their physical capabilities. They come in a range of colors and sizes, like humans, but, the average adult Geeg is usually at least 2.5 feet taller than a normal adult human, the shortest Geegs are usually 1 foot taller than a normal adult human, and the largest Geegs are usually 4 feet taller than a normal adult human. The Geeg are endowed with a passive ability to keep a sustained hover of at most 6 inches off of the ground without expending extra energy. However, they are still sensitive to heat from sources like lava or fire even if they are hovering over them. Certain types of difficult terrain, like ensnaring vines, can still affect them while they are hovering. Most of the Geeg are lanky, lightweight beings, their large size only being attributed to their above average height. Being a race conceived of divine mentality, the Geeg are very intelligent, very wise beings. As a Geeg, your Intelligence score is increased by 2, and your Wisdom score is increased by 1. You are granted Darkvision, proficiency with light and finesse weapons as well as light armor, resistance to psychic damage, 30 feet of telepathy, and advantage on Persuasion and Deception checks.
