Homebrew Draconic Tortle Species Details
the result of a mix-breed between a Dragonborn or half-dragon and a tortle. the draconic Tortle seemingly didn't inherit the breath weapon of their parents but the draconic blood awakened some dormant tortle genes making you much bigger than your peers. you are stronger and bulkier as well though your brain seems a bit less powerful, or rather slow in comparison to your swift-thinking parents.
the names of draconic tortles are often derived from their draconic lineage as your tortle parent died shortly after you hatched.
Draconic Tortle Traits
Your tortle character gains traits that enable it to cope with the perils of a savage world.Ability Score Increase
Your Strength score increases by 2, and your Constitution score increases by 1.
Age
Young tortles crawl for a few weeks after birth before learning to walk on two legs. They reach adulthood by the age of 15 but due to your draconic blood, you can grow to be 150 years old.
Alignment
Tortles tend to lead orderly, ritualistic lives. They develop customs and routines, becoming more set in their ways as they age. Most are lawful good. A few can be selfish and greedy, tending more toward evil, but it’s unusual for a tortle to shuck off order in favor of chaos.
Size
your draconic blood has given you increased growth.
draconic tortle adults stand 10 to 14 feet tall and weigh 30-50 metric tonns in weight. Their shells account for roughly one-third of their weight. Your size is large.
Speed
Your base walking speed is 20 feet.
Claws
Your claws are natural weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with them, you deal slashing damage equal to 1d4 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.
Hold Breath
You can hold your breath for up to 1 hour at a time. Tortles aren’t natural swimmers, but they can remain underwater for some time before needing to come up for air.
Natural Armor
Due to your shell and the shape of your body, you are ill-suited to wearing armor. Your shell provides ample protection, however; it gives you a base AC of 17 (your Dexterity modifier doesn’t affect this number). You gain no benefit from wearing armor, but if you are using a shield, you can apply the shield’s bonus as normal.
Shell Defense
You can withdraw into your shell as an action. Until you emerge, you gain a +4 bonus to AC, and you have advantage on Strength and Constitution saving throws. While in your shell, you are prone, your speed is 0 and can’t increase, you have disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws, you can’t take reactions, and the only action you can take is a bonus action to emerge from your shell.
Powerful Build
You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.
Languages
You can speak, read, and write Draconic and Common.
