Homebrew Mothfolk Species Details

 

Mothfolk are a reserved and rare race, rarely adventuring off into the world and instead sticking to small, secretive conclaves out in the wild. Few venture off into the wider world, but the ones that do tend to become great adventurers.

Lighting the way

All Mothfolk have an inner spark of light, giving them minor magical capabilities. But this spark also drives them to discovery, however, this is mostly relegated to study and the gains of knowledge. A rare few inner sparks shine brighter, driving the urge to explore, and these Mothfolk are the one that become adventurers.

Carefree, or Yearning

Some adventuring Mothfolk find the endeavor of adventuring fun, with the freedom it brings when they're free of the expectations of the conclaves. Others still find it hard to adjust to the life without the order the conclaves bring. This means that they are pretty evenly split between Lawful and Chaotic. Either way, most Mothfolk strive to bring happiness and change to the world, in their own way, and as such tend towards Good.

Mothfolk Traits

Mothfolk Magic

You know the light cantrip. [3rd] You can cast faerie fire once per long rest. [5th] You can cast moonbeam once per long rest. Your choice of CHA, WIS, or INT is your casting stat. You can cast these spells additional times by expending a spell slot of the required level.

Extra Arms
