Homebrew Aranea (Spider Folk) Species Details
Highly intelligent, spider-like creatures with soft, fleshy bodies. Natural vocalizations are only chirps and clicks, making communication difficult with other races. However, the natural telepathic ability of aranea allow individuals to form bonds with others and communicate regardless of any spoken language.
Aranea (Spider Folk) Traits
Your Aranea character shares certain characteristics with all other Aranea.Powerful Build
You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.
Limited Vocalization
You can speak, read, and write Aranea.
Aranea are only capable of emitting chirps and clicks, making it nearly impossible to reproduce the complex sounds of speech. When you learn languages other than Aranea, you understand them when spoken, but cannot speak them yourself. Reading and writing is unaffected by this limitation.
Ability Score Increase
Your Intelligence score increases by 2. Your Charisma score increases by 1.
Echolocation
By emitting ultrasonic clicks, you can “see” out to 60 feet. With this ability, you treat all locations with 30 feet as if they were in bright light and all locations out to 60 feet as if they were in dim light. This ability works regardless of the actual lighting level, magical or otherwise. This ability is blocked by magical silence.
Tremorsense
Your legs are highly sensitive to the tiny vibrations in the environment, making you aware of the location of any moving or living thing within 5 feet that is in contact with the ground or objects you are in contact with (such as walls, floors, or ropes). You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) rolls when attempting to locate a creature that is attempting to hide from you within your tremorsense range when that creature is not flying.
Poor Eyesight
Persistent fog in your home lands reduced the benefit of normal color vision. As a result, your species has poor eyesight. All light sources are treated as being one level dimmer and you can see normally only out to 30 feet.
Mental Link
After spending at least 10 minutes time with another individual no more than 5 feet from you, you may form a bond that lets you communicate with them telepathically. The target must be willing and only thoughts and images intended toward one another are shared across the mental link. You may continue to communicate telepathically as long as you are within 60 feet. The mental link is maintained should you and the target be separated by distances greater than 60 feet, but you will not be able to communicate until returning to within 60 feet of each other. You or your target may break the mental link at any time. You may maintain up to twice your Charisma modifier (minimum 2) mental links.
