Homebrew Forcidae Species Details
The Forcidae are a race of humanoid ant folk. Lore coming soon!
Note: Due to a mistake on my part, the variants for the forcidae won't show up on this version. Please use the first version to see the variants.
Forcidae Traits
The racial traits differ depending on the variant.Ability Score Increase
Your Constitution score increases by 2, and your Strength score increases by 1.
Age
A Forcidae ages similarly like an elf, but is fully grown at around age 18. There have also been rumors that they can live up to 1,000 years old, but this is just mere speculation(it might be possible, though).
Languages
You can speak, read, and write Common and Undercommon. You're undercommon consists of chitters and clicks reminiscent of an insect and speaking in this way might be difficult for others that speak the language to understand.
Alignment
The main focus of some forcidae is to improve their colony and better the lives of the beings there so some will lean toward lawful neutral or lawful good to ensure its safety. Others will try to better their own skills to see what they're capable of becoming. These forcidae will train themselves or try learning from others to hone their skills and become a class above their own. Neutral and neutral good are the alignment these forcidae follow.
Finding an evil forcidae is a lot harder than it would seem. Since most forcidae in the colony ensure the betterment of each life that lives there, most don't have or feel a need to turn toward those alignments. Also, having powerful warriors who're all about protecting the colony from threats(essentially they're multiple people who're level 20 living inside the colony) can make one think twice about causing some chaos.
Size
Forcidae range from being 4 to 6 feet tall, but on rare occasions, some can reach up to 7 feet tall. Your size is considered medium.
Speed
Your base walking speed is 20 feet.
Darkvision
You have darkvision of up to 60ft.
Armored Exoskeleton
You have a toughened exoskeletal-like armor that covers your entire body protecting you from certain attacks. You're resistant to slashing damage, but vulnerable to bludgeoning damage from blunt, metal weapons like hammers and maces.
Translated Strength
Some have said that if you translate an ant's strength to a human, that human would have superhuman strength. However, you're not human, but technically you're an ant and what's been said is actually true. You have expertise in athletics checks involving lifting, throwing, and carrying objects. If the DM calls for straight strength checks from you, you may use Athletics for the roll instead. Not only that, but you're able wield two handed weapons as if they're one handed weapons. However, if your class has multi-attack as an option, any attack made after the first has disadvantage.
Hearty Worker
By and large, the Forcidae are just like their insectoid counterparts and do what they can to make the colony thrive. With this, you have a climbing speed and burrowing speed of 30 since you give 110% in making sure the colony prospers.
