Homebrew Lobsterfolk Species Details

Lobsterfolk tend to stay secluded, searching for food on the ocean floor. They rarely come to the surface, mostly due to the wisdom obtained from an almost immortal life.

Lobsterfolk Traits

Lobsterfolk traits are as follows:

Ability Score Increase

Your Wisdom increases by 2, and your strength increases by 1.

Carapace Armor

Your carapace provides relative armor. When you are not wearing armor, your AC is equal to 12 plus your Dexterity Mod.

Hold Breath

You can only breathe water, being able to hold your breathe for a number of hours equal to 2 times your Constitution modifier (minimum 1 hour).

Claw-like Grip

Your hands still contain the claw-like power of your ancestors. You have advantage on saves against being disarmed, losing your grip, and advantage on grapple checks.

Biological Immortality

You're biologically immortal, meaning that as long as you can shed your carapace, you are able to keep growing and living. Every 50 years past 200, you must succeed an Athletics check to shed your carapace. The DC starts at 6, and increases by 2 each time. On a success, your Strength and Dexterity score permanently drop by 1 (minimum of 3), and your Wisdom and Intelligence score permanently increase by 1, with no cap. On a fail, you suffer 2 levels of exhaustion that cannot be removed.
