Homebrew Daa'ima Species Details
NOCTURNAL AND WINGED
All Daa’ima have moth antennae and vestigial moth wings and with the right conditions they can glide short distances; their skin goes from shades of black to gray and their eyes are either human-like or have deep purple, white or black irises. In some cases, the eyes are completely black. Daa’ima clothing closely reflects its division in urban, rural and nomadic lifestyles.
New Moon Looks
New Moon (rural) Daa’imas are often lightly dressed, preferring goatskin and other rough materials. These Daa’imas value lightness and ease of travel over heavy decorations. Rural Daa’imas tend to prefer light jewellery made of bones, egg-shells, ivory and wood. Full moon (urban) Daa’imas would mix and match these with heavier more complex metal jewellery.
Full Moon Looks
Urban Daa’ima don’t mind showing their wealth by wearing beautiful “Kamis” robes, sometimes small turbans and elaborate jewellery. Full moon Daa’imas are masters smiths of lithium which, through some magical ritual, they turn into hardened lithium (Sibiila). They use this metal a lot and it looks like glowing, ultra-light silver.
Half Moon Looks
Nomadic Daa’imas are known for their colourful clothing and for their tendency to pick up accessories from any people and cultures they meet along their way. New Moon Daa’ima are known for their wood carving skills and for some small portable totem-like status called Waka. Many Daa’ima like to show their devotion to the moon goddess by wearing a chain/rope with a large ring attached to it (its material depending on the type of Daa’ima, often Sibiila) The kalacha, a sort of metallic horn, is worn as a prestige or magic item by some Daa’imas.

Ayaana’s Blessing
Thanks to the lessons that the Nocturnal Flying Spirits (the Ayaana) taught the Daa’ima in the early days of their curse, you gain proficiency in brewing tools(coffee). Coffee making is one of the most famous ancient rituals of the Daa’ima. Additionally Daa’imas gain advantage in all charisma rolls with Ayaana spirits (moths, bats, owls and other nocturnal flying animals).
Cheat Death
Thanks to their history, Daa’ima have a better understanding of death than other lineages. When you are reduced to 0 Hit Points but not killed outright, you can drop to 1 hit point instead. You can’t use this feature again until you finish a Long Rest. Daa’imas can stabilize any dying creature by touching them as long as they haven't cheated death yet.
Nocturnal Sight
When exposed to a strong increase in light, such as a bright torch going on at night or climbing out of a cave into sunlight, a Daa’ima is blinded for one turn. Additionally, for a couple of hours around midday, a Daa’ima has disadvantage on Attack rolls, as well as on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.
Vestigial Wings
Since the days of the Curse, Daa’ima moth-like wings are too small for flight but thanks to the Moon Godesses’s mercy they are able to fly now and then. As a bonus action, you can channel the moon’s energy in their wings, making them glow and gaining flight speed equal to your walk one and advantage on dexterity saving throws for one minute. Flying with vestigial wings is a magical, painful and adrenalinic experience after which you are left feeling a bit exhausted and depleted – you need a long rest to regain this power. Thanks to the Goddess, this power is available non-stop during full-moon nights.
