Due to your Chimera Blood, each of your major limbs has at least one beastly property to them when transformed.  The "Creature Features" your character have will be the source of their racial powers. You will be able to fully customize your power set by having 1 specific trait/buff tied to each of the 5 major body segments: The Head / The Torso / The Right Arm / The Left Arm / and The Legs. 

Selecting "Main" Features

When building a new Chimera-Kin character or adding on features due to the Racial Trait - Natural Mastery. You must pick ONE "Feature" for each of the major body segments: Head, Torso, Right/Left Arms, and Legs. When selecting features, you are limited to the following options:

• Randomized - Next to each Creature Feature Name is a number from 1-6. When picking a feature for a body segment, roll a raw d6. The number it lands on will determine what feature you receive for that segment.
• Quick Build - When building a new Chimera-Kin, you are permitted to manually select features for 2 Body Segments, yet have to go with the Randomized method when selecting for the other segments.
• Free Build - You can manually choose the features for each segment.

Selecting "Other" Features

Once you have selected your "Main Features", you may roll a raw d20 to obtain "extra" features. If you roll an 11 or higher, you may select a trait from the "Other" table in the "Creature Feature Chart", with the same method used for your other major features. If successful, you can roll again to gain another feature in the "Other" table, however, the requirement is a 15 or higher, you can only have a MAXIMUM of 2 "Other" Features.

Permanent Mutations

Every Chimera-Kin has at least ONE limb with visible cosmetic details in their base form. The segment that is "Permanently Mutated" will only have cosmetic use, and have their respective "Creature Feature" INACTIVE in your base form, unless you use "Alter Self" to fully transform it. When creating your Chimera-Kin, you can ONLY determine your "Permanent Mutation" with the following method:

• Roll a raw d12 once, depending on what number it lands on will determine what limb will be permanently visible: (1-2 Head / 3-4 Torso / 5-6 Right Arm / 7-8 Left Arm / 9-10 Legs / 11-12 "Other")

Miscellaneous Details

• Should a Limb/Segment be severed, you lose the trait associated with that segment.
• Your Permanent Mutation can only be magically disguised with a 4th level or higher illusory spell.
• Tails/Sentient Tails are the ONLY feature that can be regenerated. Should one get severed, it will take 30 in-game days to fully regenerate.
• Sentient Tails from the "Other" table of the feature chart have pseudo-independence, and cannot be fully controlled, however, they will recognize mutual threats to the player character. Should an enemy strike from behind, the Sentient Tail can make a free unarmed d4 attack.

Starting at 5th level, you gain access to your signature technique, the "Beast Trigger". You can only activate it at the start of your turn, and requires 1 action. Once activated, you gain the following properties:

Bestial Endurance - Your Hit Points temporarily raises by your Current Level + your Constitution Modifier.

Feral Evasion - Your AC temporarily raises by 1

Rabid Strike - Gain 1 Additional Action, but it can ONLY be used as Melee Attack with half damage.

Monstrous Mutations - While in Beast Trigger, ALL of your segments are transformed simultaneously, and you gain all of the traits associated with each segment.

Activating Beast Trigger is easy, maintaining it, however, is far more difficult. A player can carry over Beast Trigger on the next round of combat, but at the start of their new turn, they must roll a raw d20. If they roll an 11 or higher, they can keep the benefits of Beast Trigger for that turn. If they roll a 10 or lower, they instantly drop Beast Trigger and lose the ability to reactivate it until a Short Rest. Not only do they lose the ability to do so, but they also gain a Disadvantage on ALL Wisdom Saving Throws/Checks until a Long Rest. If the player has had a Short Rest to regain Beast Trigger, yet has not had a Long Rest to cancel out the Wisdom.

Disadvantages, they must roll another raw d20 if they wish to activate Beast Trigger. An 11 or higher will succeed, and a 10 or lower will fail. Every time a player fails the activation roll while under Wisdom Disadvantages, they gain one point of exhaustion. Taking a Long Rest will remove the Wisdom Disadvantages, allow free use of Beast Trigger, and cancel out all points of exhaustion given through Activation failures. The player can voluntarily drop Beast Trigger at any time, and doing so will allow them to use it freely for future use, so long as they're not under the effects of Failure Rolls. All d20 Rolls involved with Beast Trigger CANNOT be effected by Creature Feature Traits, Feats and Buffs of any kind.

Apex Beast Trigger

Upon reaching the 20th level, your Beast Trigger will gain additional properties:

Apex Regeneration - When in Beast Trigger, you heal 1 d12  at the start of every turn its active.

Apex Advantage - When in Beast Trigger, you gain +1 to all Stat Modifiers.

Apex Action - Gain 1 Additional Action

Apex Mastery - You still have to roll at the start of continuing turns to maintain Beast Trigger, however failure will NOT impose the Debuff/Disadvantages originally given

You gain the ability to cast "Alter Self" at will, however, you are only limited to the "Creature Feature" you selected. However, you are only limited to the Creature Features you have selected. All of the features you selected are INACTIVE in your base form unless the respective segment is transformed via "Alter Self", or you're under the effects of Beast Trigger.

When you reach the 10th level, you gain a unique action for your Beast Trigger form. By expending 1 action at the end of your turn, you can activate "Beast Release", doing so grants you 3 additional actions, and can roll an extra d6 to add more damage on ALL types of attacks. At the end of the turn, this unique action is activated, you instantly drop Beast Trigger, gain disadvantage on WIsdom Checks/Roll until a short rest, and cannot use your Beast Trigger form for 3 in-game days.

Starting at the 15th level, you can add ONE Extra trait from the "Creature Feature Chart" for a single segment when you level up. You can have a maximum of 3 Features for a single segment, however, once you select your 20th Level trait, you cannot gain anymore.
