Homebrew Eliksni Species Details

Eliksni share the traits of arachnid like-species. They have four predatory eyes, and older Eliksni sprout an additional pair of smaller arms below their main arms. They have carapaces growing over their bodies, but it is not thick enough to stop a spear or a blade. Eliksni share a diverse number of professions within their culture. Scholars, warriors, tinkers and inventors to name a few. They are generally a structured and honorable people, but it is not uncommon for some to strike out on their own or have disdain for their own peoples. 

Height and Weight: Eliksni stand approximately the same height as humans, generally on the shorter end. However, they are spindly, and their bones are light. They weigh averagely 30-50 lbs less depending on age. 

Gender: Although Eliksni are separated into male and female genders, it is difficult for non Eliksni to determine such information as there is very little bodily difference.

Lawful or Chaotic: Eliksni generally treasure tradition and honor making most lawful. But it is not unheard of those striking out on their own. They don't generally tend to stick to neutrality.

Good or Evil: Like humans, the best and worst are found among them, not placing them anywhere on the good to evil spectrum. 

Common Eliksni Names: Variks, Taniks, Phylaks, Reksis, Loksis, Sepiks, Rahndel, Calzar, Galhsis.
