Homebrew Thri Kreen Species Details
Thri-kreen have insectile features and two pairs of arms. Their bodies are encased in protective chitin. They Can alter the coloration of this carapace to blend in with their natural surroundings. Although thri-kreen don’t sleep, they do require periods of inactivity to revitalize themselves. During these periods they are fully conscious and aware of what’s happening around them. Thri-kreen speak by clacking their mandibles and waving their antennae, indicating to other thri-kreen what they are thinking and feeling. Other creatures find this method of communication difficult to interpret and impossible to duplicate. To interact with other folk, thrikreen rely on a form of telepathy.
Thri Kreen Traits
Thri-Kreen racial traitsChameleon Carapace
While you aren’t wearing armor, your carapace gives you a base Armor Class of 13 + your Dexterity modifier.
As an action, you can change the color of your carapace to match the color and texture of your surroundings, giving you advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to hide in those surroundings
Secondary Arms
You have two slightly smaller
secondary arms below your primary pair of arms
. The secondary arms function like your primary arms, with the
following exceptions:
• You can use a secondary arm to wield a weapon that has
the light property, but you can’t use
a secondary arm to
wield other kinds of weapons.
• You can’t wield a shield with a secondary arm
.
Thri-kreen Telepathy
You have the magical ability to communicate mentally with any number of willing creatures you can see within 120 feet of you. A contacted creature doesn’t need to share a language with you, but it must be able to understand at least one language. Your telepathic link to a creature is broken if you and the creature move more than 120 feet apart, if either of you is incapacitated, or if either of you mentally breaks the contact (no action required).
Sleepless Revitalization
You do not require sleep and can choose to remain conscious during a long rest, though you must still refrain from strenuous activity to gain the benefit of the rest .
