Homebrew Bangaa Species Details

The Bangaa are a lizard-like race, dominant all over Ivalice. They have long faces, scaly skin, and tough limbs. Due to their brute force, the Bangaa are generally considered to be the most physically prominent of all the races of Ivalice. The Bangaa have both male and females, but it is impossible to tell the two apart, until they actually start talking.

While they do have lizard-like qualities, it is considered a racial slur and the worst insult to call a Bangaa a lizard (As they would rather not be compared to the more primitive and violent Lizardmen, another race).

Bangaa Traits

If you create a character using a race option presented here, follow these additional rules during character creation.

Weakness to the element of Water

Water is bad

Ability Score Increases

When determining your character’s ability scores, you increase one of those scores by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or you increase three different scores by 1. Follow this rule regardless of the method you use to determine the scores, such as rolling or point buy.

The “Quick Build” section for your character’s class offers suggestions on which scores to increase. You’re free to follow those suggestions or to ignore them. Whichever scores you decide to increase, none of the scores can be raised above 20.

Languages

Your character can speak, read, and write Common and one other language that you and your DM agree is appropriate for the character. The Player’s Handbook offers a list of widespread languages to choose from. The DM is free to add or remove languages from that list for a particular campaign.

Age

Bangaa can live up to twice as long as the average Hume, but seldom procreate.

Alignment

While not definitive, Alignment may depend on the sub-group of Bangaa. For example, The Bangaa Ruga and Faas generally make the laws and keep order among the Bangaa. The Bangaa Bista and Bangaa Sanga tend to lead more laid-back lifestyles, making it easier for them to live and interact comfortably with Humes. Like previously said, this is not definitive and you are free to choose whatever Alignment you wish.

Creature Type

Every creature in D&D, including every player character, has a special tag in the rules that identifies the type of creature they are. Most player characters are of the Humanoid type. A race option presented here tells you what your character’s creature type is.

Here’s a list of the game’s creature types in alphabetical order: Aberration, Beast, Celestial, Construct, Dragon, Elemental, Fey, Fiend, Giant, Humanoid, Monstrosity, Ooze, Plant, Undead. These types don’t have rules themselves, but some rules in the game affect creatures of certain types in different ways. For example, the text of the cure wounds spell specifies that the spell doesn’t work on a creature that has the Construct type.

Size

Bangaa vary widely in height and build, from 5 feet 5 inches to even 7 feet. Regardless of your position in that range, your size is Medium.

Speed

Similar to Humes, they are not the fastest of races, but can sustain long distance runs.
