Homebrew Cha'pa Species Details

Cha’pa take great pride in the craftsmanship, maintenance and expansion of their lodges, which afford them not only a roof over their head, but a constant food supply, all located somewhere inconvenient to their enemies. Clever cha’pa create sections of their dwellings that can be quickly detached, carried away by the river’s turbulent current, or lay hidden traps that utilize sharp wooden stakes as a deterrent to invasion. Some even keep a hidden chamber of the structure underwater, dry and with an air pocket, where their loved ones can retreat to until such time as a danger has passed.
