Homebrew Apeling Species Details
Apelings are slightly smaller than humans, but are sill medium. They usually have more defined muscles than monkeys, though they are still rather slender, keeping a very athletic appearance. Fur colors include black, brown, red, orange, and grey. White fur is usually a "sign" of inherent greatness. Apelings age fast, reaching full adulthood in only 12 years. Although apelings only have a slightly longer lifespan than humans, their active nature and lifestyle mean they burn through their years faster than a human, putting their average lifespan at 100 years. Few careful and quieter apelings may live to see 150 and usually hold roles as tribal leaders and chiefs. Despite ageing fast, apelings do not feel the usual effects of old age until months before their death, many still adventuring within the last year of their life.
Apeling Traits
A race of nimble and strong monkey-like people.Adapt Climbers.
Your natural agility allows you to climb at full speed +5, rather than half. You can also climb across ceilings, as long as you succeed on either a DC 12 Athletics or Acrobatics check; failing causes you to lose your grip and fall.
Empty Stomach
You burn through your energy faster than most humanoids and must eat twice as much as a normal human requires each day.
Heavy Slumber
During a long rest, anyone trying to wake you up must make a DC 15 Charisma ability check. Taking damage will wake you up as will being thrown into or splashed with water.
Limit Break
Apelings are always striving to push themselves. As a reaction, when you fail Strength, Dexterity or Constitution ability check or saving throw, you can remake the check and take the new result. Once you use this ability, you can't use it again until you complete a long res
