Surface Races

Common Races

Centaur (Telikos)

Noble Warriors

Centaur society values honesty, justice, and hard work above all else. As a result, they tend to be rather uptight folk who enforce their societal codes onto others, even when not in Centaur territory. Still, this makes them reliable allies; a Centaur will never turn their back on a friend or ally, no matter what, due to their code of honor that each centaur holds.

Natural Calvary

Centaurs are naturally capable as calvary, making them a fearsome foe in open terrain. Couple that with a tendency towards becoming Paladins and Clerics and you have some of the most righteous, holy, powerful warriors on Telikos. There's just one tiny problem: they can't handle inclines or uneven terrain very well, and you can forget about ladders. Still, a Centaur Calvary is something so powerful many human nobles take on Centaur knights as commanders of their forces or as personal bodyguards.

Stubborn Warriors

The ultimate downside of the righteous code of honor a centaur follows is that they tend to be stubborn to a fault. Unmoving in their oaths and unwavering in their beliefs, they can be just as much a hindrance as a help, and many view them as too "straight edge" to be good company; where many adventurers will take time off drinking with their friends, centaur will spend free time helping others or meditating on their codes.

Centaur (Telikos) Traits

As a Centaur from Telikos, you have the following racial traits:

Ability Score Increase. Increase your Strength score by 2 and your Wisdom score by 1.
Creature Type. You count as both a Humanoid and Beast for the purposes of spells and effects.
Speed. Your walking speed is 40 feet.
Age. Centaurs mature and age at about the same rate as humans.
Size. Centaurs stand between 6 and 7 feet tall, with their equine bodies reaching about 4 feet at the withers. Your size is Medium.
Hooves. Your hooves are natural melee weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with them, you deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.
Charge. If you move at least 30 feet straight toward a target and then hit it with a melee weapon attack on the same turn, you can immediately follow that attack with a bonus action, making one attack against the target with your hooves.
Equine Build. You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push or drag. In addition, any climb that requires hands and feet is especially difficult for you because of your equine legs. When you make such a climb, each foot of movement costs you 4 extra feet, instead of the normal 1 extra foot.
Honorable. You have proficiency in the Persuasion skill.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Sylvan. Sylvan is a flowing string of words that sounds almost like singing, and is spoken by those who bear the blood of Belua, the goddess of nature on Telikos.

Dwarf (Telikos)

Reclusive Storytellers

Dwarves tend to stick to their mountain homes, smithing and sculpting away. This isn't just wasted time however; each piece of work tells a story, and Dwarven records are some of the best-kept in the world. Through magic and stonecutting, Dwarves have preserved knowledge that even some elves have forgotten. If you want to know the history of Telikos, Dwarves are second only to Triassids in the depth of their knowledge.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Dwarvish. Dwarvish is full of hard consonants and guttural sounds, and those characteristics spill over into whatever other language a dwarf might speak.

High Elves (Telikos)

Guardians of the Future

Elves have mastered divination to the point a powerful group of mages constantly watch the future to prevent disaster. The elves have legends of a prophecy that says if their advanced weapons were to ever reach the wider world, a war that makes the Three-Way War look like child's play would erupt and the world would burn to ash. As such, Elves have trained Kill Teams that are sent out whenever an advanced firearm is leaked to the lesser races. They not only wipe out the traitor who shared the technology, but also every single person who bore witness to that weapon. It's all but a rumor to the other races however, as the kill teams are so efficient, so much better trained than any soldier in any other race's army, that they leave nary a trace of their presence.

Trance. You don't need to sleep, and magic can't put you to sleep. You can finish a long rest in 4 hours if you spend those hours in a trancelike meditation, during which you retain consciousness. This grants you the same benefits as a human who gets 8 hours of sleep.

Magic Messenger. You know the Message Cantrip, and may cast it without material components.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common, Elvish, and one language of your choosing. Elvish is fluid, with subtle intonations and intricate grammar. Elven literature is rich and varied, and their songs and poems are famous among other races. Many bards learn their language so they can add Elvish ballads to their repertoires.

Human (Telikos)

A Violent History

Human legend speaks of long lost days where humans were violent savages, pushed to the brink of extinction by the Dwarves and Elves, and that to save themselves they lowered themselves to becoming monsters in humanoid form. This war - known as the Great War or Three-Way War - has mostly been relegated to the history books by humanity, who have long since distanced themselves from any animosity due to their relatively short lifespans. Still, some of that ferocity remains in the raw determination and drive that humans have; if a human wants something, they'll get it - no matter what it takes. It's that ambition that keeps the Elves at bay - they know another war with humanity, even for all their advancements, would spell disaster.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and one extra language of your choice. Humans typically learn the languages of other peoples they deal with, including obscure dialects. They are fond of sprinkling their speech with words borrowed from other tongues: Orc curses, Elvish musical expressions, Dwarvish military phrases, and so on.

Naga (Telikos)

Serpentine Tails

Naga have long tails that are like that of a snake, and can use them for both mobility and attack. Many Naga warriors mix elegant dancing through Bladesong with deadly blows from their long, muscular tails. They can also coil their tails to launch themselves at alarmin speeds, meaning Naga bandits are quite fearsome and a real danger in the deserts of the southern continent.

Orc (Telikos)

Violent Exiles

If an Orc breaks his code of honor, he is branded on the face using a magical brand, cut from his Clan, and exiled from orc lands. These orcs tend to group together and form roaming bands of raiders. These Orcs are feared and with good reason; an Orcish Raider Band is something terrifying to behold. With no code of honor and the fury of honor lost, they take out their anger on any who stand in their way.

Wood Elves (Telikos)

Crass and Cheeky

Wood Elves, being descended from criminals and pirates, have a reputation for having particularly foul mouthes and being known to be rather abrasive. However, this is all just their own unique style of friendliness. What some might see as an insult, they see as a greeting of kinship.

Uncommon Races

Beastkin Purebloods

Rulers of Nature

Beastkin Purebloods were the first creations of the nature goddess Belua, and are effectively animals that walk like humans. They are bipedal, but have features like hooves, fur, horns, and claws. Purebloods are called as such because the more diluted a Beastkin's bloodline is, the less like animals they appear. Purebloods have heightened senses and a keen skill at hunting and tracking.

Mammalian Men

Beastkin Purebloods can only have features of mammals, with the exception of horses, bovines, and apes. Why this is has become a subject of great debate between scholars, but it is theorized that Belua used her power to create the Houzi-Wong, Centaur, and Minotaur separately from the Beastkin for some unknown purpose. The leading theory is that Centaur and Minotaur were placed on the northern continent to give humanity allies, and that Houzi-Wong were placed to help teach the exiled elves that would become the Wood Elves.

Proud and Stubborn

The Beastkin Purebloods value their hold as nature's greatest warriors, and their pride and stubbornness are unmatched by any except maybe the Dwarves. As such, they tend to be very confrontational when questioned and combined with their fearsome appearances mean that it's not easy to win an argument with a Beastkin Pureblood.

As a Beastkin Pureblood, you have the following racial traits:

Ability Score Increase. Increase your Wisdom Score by 2 and your Constitution Score by 1.

Beastkin Mixedbloods

True Outcasts

Whereas half-elves might find acceptance in a society tied to their lineage, Beastkin Mixedbloods find no such solace without tremendous effort and proof of their worth. Beastkin Purebloods look down upon not only those who would sully their noble blood with that of another race, but also their spawn. As such, Beastkin Mixedbloods tend to live with their non-Beastkin parent.

Half-Elves (Telikos)

Mixedblood Might

Half-Elves aren't just the result of Elves and Humans intermingling; other races, particularly when it comes to Wood Elves, are frequently part of a Half-Elf's heritage as well. For example, a Half-Elf with a Houzi-Wong parent might have extra body hair or a prehensile monkey tail, or a Half-Elf with a Dwarven parent might inheret the poison-resistant blood of their dwarven parent. This gives them an edge, particularly as Adventurers. Couple this edge with their status as outcasts, and it makes adventuring a no-brain decision for most Half-Elves.

Houzi-Wong

Martial Masters

Some Houzi-Wong undergo monastic training to quell their innate urges to play pranks on others, learning powerful martial arts in the process. Houzi-Wong specialize with polearms, and this is due to a legend of their kind that the first Emperor of the Houzi-Wong was a man named Sun Wukong who rode upon the clouds and carried a staff that could extend beyond the horizon to strike down his foes.

As revenge for the acts performed upon him by Belua, goddess of nature, the god of Man, Vyr, cursed the Minotaur with a near-uncontrollable hatred of artificial reds, indicative of the blindfold Belua is said to have used to bind Vyr's sight. Even the calmest minotaur will grow furious, so fabricated items in the color red are outright banned in the Minotaur territories. Natural reds don't bother them however; flowers and the like. Why this is, nobody knows, but it is suspected that it's due to Belua's influence being able to counteract the curse to some degree.

Rare Races

Artiforged

Artifical Beings

Artiforged can be created in two ways: through ritiual sacrifice of living creatures to imbue an empty shell with life, or through using magic crystal and mana to achieve the same result. The former is the origin of the race, but the latter is the method that was decided on going forward and proposed by one of the High Elf Council's most powerful members.

Stalwart Defenders

Created as protectors, the Artiforged exist to defend Elven territory from threats without and within. As a result, they only fight if forced and do so defensively. They dislike instigating conflict, and prefer to be defenders; this is simpler for them, as questions of morality are troublesome ones for Artiforged given their origins.

Curious and Gullible

Due to their method of creation and relative new place in the world of Telikos, Artiforged tend to be curious folk who will often ask questions about things they don't understand hoping to expand their knowledge. However, they're also prone to believing whatever they're told, which has already led to incidents where Artiforged have to have something properly explained to them because they were tricked.

Alien Forms

Artiforged lack primary and secondary sexual characteristics; the only way to tell a male and female Artiforged apart are their tertiary features; males are generally taller with broad shoulders and narrow hips, while females have more narrow shoulders, wider hips, and are generally shorter in stature. Artiforged are created with a specific gender and are built with the appropriate body shape and vocal crystal. Beyond appearances and the sound of their voice, there is little to differentiate a male and female Artiforged in terms of personality and ability.

Artiforged Traits

As an Artiforged, you have the following racial traits:

Ability Score Increase. Increase your Constitution Score by 2, and your Strength or Intelligence Score by 1.
Creature Type. You count as both a Humanoid and Construct for the purposes of spells and effects. If a spell states that it would not work on a Construct, it does work for you.
Speed. Your walking speed is 30 feet.
Age. The maximum artiforged lifespan remains a mystery due to how young the race is; so far, Artiforged have shown no signs of deterioration due to age or magic used to test deterioration based on aging. You are immune to magical aging effects.
Size. Artiforged range from 6 to 8 feet tall. Your size is Medium.
Constructed Resillience. You were created to have remarkable fortitude, represented by the following benefits:

• You have advantage on saving throws against being poisoned, and you have resistance to poison damage.
• You don't need to eat, drink, or breathe.
• You are immune to disease.
• You don't need to sleep, and magic can't put you to sleep.

Age. Half-Dragons live exceptionally long lives due to their dragon blood. They age normally until the age they would hit adulthood of their non-draconic parent, then seemingly stop aging. The only time a Half-Dragon has been found dead is due to battle, so in theory they could live forever.
Size. Half-Dragons are about a foot bigger than Humans on average. Your size is Medium.
Flight. You have a Flying speed equal to your walking speed thanks to your large wings. You may only use this Flying speed if you aren’t wearing Heavy Armor or a Shield.

Merfolk

Beached Fish

Merfolk Truefins struggle on land, and as such have developed magic tools that enable them to travel on land. Most of these are glorified fishbowls on wheels, with magic crystal allowing for ease of understanding for those around. Poorer truefins have wheelchairs that they have their Webfin servants push them around in. Some few Truefins - those who become adventurers - have trained their tails to fucntion akin to a Naga's, and thus lack the struggle to move on land and can be incredibly deadly.

Eal'Amaj Races

Common Races

Mas’dimah

Empire of Shadows

The Mas'dimah are beings who were once powered by the Mana Sun. However, after a conflict with the monstrous spider-folk of the inner world they were cursed to be burned by the sun and drink the blood of others to survive. As such, they used powerful magic to alter their home into a clouded land where no daylight ever appears. This swamp - called Bleakmire - is ruled over by Emperor Yakov Von Barsovich and his wife Eris Von Barsovich who keep a tight grip on their people to prevent incidents with other races.

Bloodsuckers

Mas'dimah need to drink blood to survive. In the past, they were bandits and savages who would drink other races dry. 100 years ago, Yakov Von Barsovich took over and enforced the Law of Civility which banned drinking blood from anything other than animals. That isn't to say the practice of drinking from humanoiods is dead entirely - but it's mostly limited to secretive cults and other criminal groups.

Prim and Proper

Mas'dimah favor fancy dress and well-tailored clothes. Their pale skin, white hair, and red eyes make them visually distinct among others, and their weakness to the sun means that they often wear hooded cloaks when they venture out of their territory. They also tend to have good manners and be very polite - but this also means that the ones who violate the Law of Civility are extremely dangerous.

Creature Type. You count as an Undead for the purposes of spells and effects.

Darkvision. Accustomed to the dark caves of Eal'amaj, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 90 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Sunlight Sensivity. You have a weakness to the sun and similar bright lights. While your eyes and skin are directly exposed to sunlight or anything similar (such as the Daylight spell), you have disadvantage on any Skill Check you make using vision, and you have disadvantage on Constitution Saving Throws.
Undead Constitution. You gain the following benefits due to your undead nature:

• You have advantage on saving throws against disease and being poisoned, and you have resistance to poison damage.
• You have advantage on death saving throws.
• You don't need to breathe.
• You don't need to sleep, and magic can't put you to sleep. You can finish a long rest in 4 hours if you spend those hours in an inactive, motionless state, during which you can choose to retain consciousness.

Sha'tahn

Cautious and Alien

Sha'tahn appear alien compared to anything else on Telikos, and with their large leathery wings, whip-like tails, and cloven hooves appear as if someone made a chimera of several beastkin, and their bright red skin makes them stand out no matter where they are. Still, the few that have been recorded come across as somewhat cautious and very serious about what they speak; mainly, warnings. Sha'tahn society is much different from the turbulent societies on Telikos that are almost all at each other's throats, being peaceful and democractic, moreso than even the Triassids.

Uncommon Races

Eiz'alta

Kingdom of Bones

When one dies with regrets in Eal'amaj, they do not always pass on into the afterlife. Instead, their bones might rise, animated by their spirit, and they become an Eiz’alta. Made of bones moving on tendons and muscles of magic invisible to the naked eye, they live on eternally attempting to soothe their regrets and find some manner of peace in undeath.

Undying Society

As Eiz'alta can live forever unless killed, they have established a powerful kingdom that grows with each regretful death in the Inner World. Ruled by a king named Alz’enghul who is a powerful mage in his own right thanks to centuries of study, the city is shrouded in darkness at all times both to calm those within and protect the city from attack, as it serves as a powerful magical shield.

Depressing and Gloomy

Eiz'alta are beings born of regret, and as so tend to be downers. They are pessimists by nature, and frequently come across as angry due to their condition. As such, most will attempt to drown their sorrows in creature comforts they enjoyed in life. This could be alcohol - as they can magically convert alcohol into mana to sustain themselves, or gambling.

Tham'arjul

Exiles?

A select few have claimed to have been to peaceful, hidden cities where they were told that the Tham'arjul most meet are in fact violent, criminal exiles. However, due to the way the other races view the Tham'arjul, their society has become reclusive and hidden. These are often played off as more lies and that the person was lucky, but there has been more than one case of this happening - which lends a dash of credibility to these claims.

Rare Races

Da'kihn Elves (Dark Elves)

Abandoned Underground

Da'kihn Elves are High Elves who have been mutated by the Mana Sun of the Inner World and experimented on by the Mind Flayers. Their skin turned a pale blue the shade of pure magical power, their hair bleached pure white, they were abandoned by their own people - the high elves - to their fate. They are generally treated as refugees and taken in by other races, lacking a true society of their own.

Psionic Power

A result of their experimentation and mutation, they have gained potent psychic powers. Unfortunately, this has given them an even worse case of paranoia than their abandonment in a strange land. As such, Da'kihn elves are a dangerous combination of power and paranoia - and hold a deep-seated grudge against their former brothers and sisters. While they will react to most other races with caution, they will treat high elves with open hostility - even if their intent is to help rather than harm.

Paranoid Recluses

As a result of their experiences, Da'kihn Elves are paranoid around others. They come across as skittish and rude, and are even more xenophobic than High Elves. Speaking of which, as mentioned, they are openly hostile to those who they believe abandoned and betrayed them. This has led to them choosing to mostly discard elven firearms as a show of rebellion, though pistols still hold a place in the unique martial arts that the Da'kihn have developed.

Da'kihn Elf Traits

As a Da'kihn Elf, you have the following racial traits:

Ability Score Increase. Increase your Dexterity Score by 2, and your Intelligence or Constitution Score by 1.
Creature Type. You are a Humanoid.
Speed. Your walking speed is 30 feet.
Age. Although elves reach physical maturity at about the same age as humans, the elven understanding of adulthood goes beyond physical growth to encompass worldly experience. An elf typically claims adulthood and an adult name around the age of 100 and can live to be 750 years old.
Size. Elves range from under 5 to over 6 feet tall and have slender builds. Your size is Medium.
Darkvision. Accustomed to the dark caves of Eal'amaj, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Magic Resistance. You have advantage on saving throws you make to avoid or end the charmed condition on yourself.
Trance. You don't need to sleep, and magic can't put you to sleep. You can finish a long rest in 4 hours if you spend those hours in a trancelike meditation, during which you retain consciousness. This grants you the same benefits as a human who gets 8 hours of sleep.
Da'kihn Training. You have proficiency with Rapiers, Shortswords, Daggers, Hand Crossbows, and Pistols.
Da'kihn Psionics. You know the mage hand cantrip, and the hand is invisible when you cast the cantrip with this trait. Starting at 3rd level, you can cast the jump spell with this trait. Starting at 5th level, you can also cast hold person with it. Once you cast jump or misty step with this trait, you can't cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common, Elvish, and Undercommon. Undercommon is a regional dialect of Common, with elvish slang thrown in.

Monstrous Races

Common Races

Goblin (Telikos)

Strength in Numbers

Goblins are arguably the weakest race of the Monstrous Races. This was true before the Grand Awakening and is still true after. As such, they band together in tight-knight communities and will often form alliances with stronger people or nations for their own protection. Still, they make up for their individual weakness with raw numbers; goblin populations grow quickly, and as such they tend to have very productive societies thanks to a larger workforce.

Ambush Tactics

Also due to their weakness, Goblins excel at ambush tactics. Mostly used to deal with hostile outsiders or hunting for food, skins, and other materials, they can strike from the shadows using their diminutive size to hide until the time is right. After the Grand Awakening, they have started being hired on in the same way Harengan are as assassins, but their survivalist nature makes them more well-suited to assassin work than harengan.

Friendly but Cautious

Contrary to their beast-like nature before the Grand Awakening, Goblins on Telikos are generally friendly folk once you earn their trust. That said, the process to earning their trust isn't easy because there are still a good number of people who see them as mindless pests; old habits die hard, so they're slow to trust the other races of Telikos.

Matriarchal Tribals

Goblin "society" is heavily sectioned off. There are Shamans who guide the village with prophecies and divinations as well as their leader, known as a Goblin Matriarch who hold similar amounts of power. Slightly taller than her contemporaries, there is only one matriarch in a tribe at any time, and her firstborn will always be female - another matriarch to be - and raised to take on her mother’s position when she comes of age. Male Goblins tend to be warriors or laborers while female goblins tend to care for the children and cook for the tribe, with these norms rarely if ever being broken within goblin villages. Those few who venture forth into the world might instead adopt whatever cultural norms the place they venture to has however.

Goblin (Telikos) Traits

As a Goblin from Telikos, you have the following racial traits:

Ability Score Increase. Increase your Dexterity Score by 2, and your Constitution Score by 1.
Creature Type. You are a Humanoid. You are also considered a goblinoid for any prerequisite or effect that requires you to be a goblinoid.
Speed. Your walking speed is 30 feet.
Age. Goblins reach adulthood at age 14 and live up to 65 years.
Size. Goblins are between 3 and 4 feet tall and weigh between 40 and 80 pounds. Your size is Small.
Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were in dim light. You discern colors in that darkness only as shades of gray.
Goblin Cunning. You have advantage on saving throws you make to avoid or end the charmed condition on yourself.
Nimble Escape. You can take the Disengage or Hide action as a bonus action on each of your turns.
Fury of the Small. When you damage a creature with an attack or a spell and the creature's size is larger than yours, you can cause the attack or spell to deal extra damage to the creature. The extra damage equals your proficiency bonus.

You can use this trait a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining all expended uses when you finish a long rest, and you can use it no more than once per turn.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Goblin. Goblin is a language heavy with vowels and has lots of unpleasant sounds when spoken.

Kobold (Telikos)

Greedy and Proud

Kobolds after the Grand Awakening have adopted traits they associate with Dragons, likely from storybooks lost out in the territories they awoke in. As such, they embody avarice and pride, seeking wealth and status wherever they go. They take even the smallest of insults poorly and will absolutely seek revenge if slighted unless an apology is issued - and despite their stature it's entirely possible for them to easily get payback to devastating effect.

Kobold (Telikos) Traits

As a Kobold from Telikos, you have the following racial traits:

Ability Score Increase. Increase your Dexterity Score by 2, and your Charisma Score by 1.
Creature Type. You are a Humanoid. You are also considered a Dragon for any prerequisite or effect that requires you to be a Dragon.

You can use this trait a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Kobold Craftiness. You have proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice: Deception, Insight, Persuasion, Sleight of Hand, or Stealth.
Kobold Stubbornness. You have advantage on saving throws to avoid or end the frightened condition on yourself.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Goblin. Goblin is a language heavy with vowels and has lots of unpleasant sounds when spoken.

Uncommon Races

Ogre (Telikos)

Competitive Might

Ogres are large, strong, competitive sorts who value physical prowess and competition above all. The best way to get an Ogre to do something is to tell them they can't do it, and doubly so when it comes to a physical activity. This makes them useful for those who need large, heavy objects moved or nasty Wildlife slain.

Power and Honor

Ogres have a strange sense of honor, where the strong rule and the weak serve the strong. However, it is the duty of the strong to care for the weak; as such, if a weaker person needs help they are honor-bound to provide aid - though they appreciate compensation for their efforts.

Mighty and Stupid

If harpies are as smart as a sack of lead, then Ogres aren't far behind. They're gullible to a fault, lacking in intelligence (they prefer to focus on physical pursuits rather than mental), and overall kind of dumb. Still, they aren't as dumb as harpies; they can sometimes tell when they're being fooled and are capable of forming their own societies with social hierarchies.

Ogre (Telikos) Traits

As an Ogre from Telikos, you have the following racial traits:

Ability Score Increase. Increase your Strength Score by 2, and your Constitution Score by 1.
Creature Type. You are a Humanoid. You are also considered a Giant for any prerequisite or effect that requires you to be a Giant.

Age. Ogres reach adulthood at the age of 16, and live up to 250 years.
Size. Ogres tower over other races at 7-9 feet, weighing up to 500 lbs. Your size is Medium.
Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were in dim light. You discern colors in that darkness only as shades of gray.
Powerful Build. You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.
Competitive Spirit. You have proficiency in the Athletics and Intimidation Skills.
Show-Off. If you miss with an attack roll or fail an ability check or a saving throw, you can gain a bonus to the roll equal to the number of allies you can see within 30 feet of you (maximum bonus of +3).

You can use this trait a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Giant. Giant is a rougher more "casual" branch of Orcish.

Oni

Cruel and Uncaring

Most Oni are cruel, monstrous beings who - despite their newfound intellect - still choose to do evil, even continuing to partake in cannibalism of other Humanoid races at times. Oni are bad business on Myrrha, but on Kanoniko their reputation is more mixed, as certian clans of Oni there have oddly enough taken up a stance similar to normal Orcs in having a rigid society of honor and, in their case, philosophy. Still, there is a great distrust for Oni no matter where you go and so they must take caution when visiting the cities of other races.

Oni Traits

As an Oni, you have the following racial traits:

Ability Score Increase. Increase your Constitution Score by 1.
Creature Type. You are a Humanoid. You are also considered a Giant for any prerequisite or effect that requires you to be a Giant.

Arashi Umare. You have resistance to Thunder and Lightning damage.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Giant.

Jonetsu Traits

Those of the Jonetsu Subrace are proud, fierce, and violent warriors. They value physical might and raw strength above all else, and see the Shizukeza Oni as cowardly and weak, using magic to make up for their lacking prowess in battle. They view those who cower away from battle as not worthy of life, and will kill cowards without a second thought - though they will kill almost anyone without a thought as well. They have two horns and red skin.

Ability Score Increase. Increase your Strength score by 2.
Powerful Build. You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.
Jonetsu Weapon Training. You gain proficiency with Clubs, Greatclubs and Mauls.

Rare Races

Bitumorph (Slimefolk)

Shapeshifting Rarity

After the Grand Awakening, the simple blue slimes started to mimic the creatures they'd eaten in their previous life - including humanoids. In doing so, they were able to adopt flawless mimics of their previous prey - much to the horror of their prey's friends and family. As such, many Bitumorphs live in the wild and retain their behavior from before the Grand Awakening. Those who don't take on identities of their own using a combination of features or join up with other Monstrous societies.

Tough to Kill

Bitumorphs are naturally resistant to non-magical weapons, and as such are a pain to kill. This makes them rather overconfident in their battle ability, and furthermore makes their reputation as body-snatching threats even worse. Those who try to blend into other societies must avoid even so much as nicking themselves with a sharp object, lest their facade be revealed.

Friendly and Social

Despite the bad rap they get, Bitumorphs are kind and friendly sorts, preferring to solve their conflicts with words rather than violence. They would much rather simply live alongside the other races than war with them, and view it as upsetting that their species are viewed as they are. Still, not all of them are like this - some have internalized the racial hatred dealt to them and become vicious serial killers which require magic to detect.

Bitumorph Traits

As a Bitumorph, you have the following racial traits:

Ability Score Increase. Increase your Dexterity Score by 2, and your Charisma Score by 1.

Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were in dim light. You discern colors in that darkness only as shades of gray.
Amorphous. You can squeeze through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide, provided you are wearing and carrying nothing. You also have advantage on ability checks you make to initiate or escape a grapple.
Slime Body. You have resistance to non-magical piercing and slashing damage.
Shapeshifter. As an action, you change your appearance and your voice. You determine the specifics of the changes, including your coloration, hair length, and sex. You can also adjust your height between Medium and Small. You can make yourself appear as a member of another race, though none of your game statistics change. You can't duplicate the appearance of an individual you've never seen, and you must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs that you have. Your clothing and equipment aren't changed by this trait.

You stay in the new form until you use an action to revert to your true form, your are rendered Unconscious, or until you die.

Extraplanar Races

Common Races

Gnome (Star-Tracker)

Chatty Tinkerers

Gnomes are small, chatty sorts who love to tinker. A world with stuff they haven't seen before is worth a thousand dungeons full of gold to them, and they eagerly seek out new technology to reverse-engineer. They frequently take up the role of Artificers, and their interplanar ships are some of the finest around. You can bet that if you've got a magic item, they'll want to study it.

Travelers of the Stars

Gnomes frequently traverse the Sea of Stars on the search for new worlds and new tech. As such, they're usually used as diplomats by the Council of Radiance (situated in the Radiant Citadel) to new worlds. This is both because of their eagerness and their good-natured personalities that make the revelation your world is but one of many less overwhelming.

Builders From Toril

The Gnomes of Toril - well, the version that reached out to Telikos anyway - are social tinkerers who value creativity, ingenuity, and artifice above all else. They're social folk who will butter you up with friendly chatter before asking casually to see your magic gear to analyze and understand it. Overall, Gnomes are the least-shocking visitors to Telikos from beyond the Sky-Scars.

You can have up to three such devices active at a time.

When you create a device, choose one of the following options:

• Clockwork Toy. This toy is a clockwork animal, monster, or person, such as a frog, mouse, bird, dragon, or soldier. When placed on the ground, the toy moves 5 feet across the ground on each of your turns in a random direction. It makes noises as appropriate to the creature it represents.

• Fire Starter. The device produces a miniature flame, which you can use to light a candle, torch, or campfire. Using the device requires your action.

Uncommon Races

Tortle (Starshell)

Natural Adventurers

What many tortles consider a simple life, others might call a life of adventure. Tortles are born near sandy coastlines, but as soon as they're able to walk on two legs, they become nomad survivalists eager to explore the wilderness, experience its many wonders, put their skills to the test, and make new acquaintances. When you factor in the Multiverse, this means they take naturally to travel in a Spelljammer.

Interdimensional Tourists

Most tortles like to see how other creatures live and discover new customs and new ways of doing things. The urge to procreate doesn't kick in until the end of a tortle's life, and a tortle can spend decades away from its native world without feeling homesick. Tortles embrace a simple view of the world. It is a place of wonder, and tortles see beauty in the ordinary. They live for the chance to hear a soft wind blowing through palm trees, to watch a frog croaking on a lily pad, or to stand in a crowded human marketplace.

Wisdom from Age

As social creatures with long lives, Tortles gather and share information freely. They have friends all over the multiverse, and will come to their friends' aid whenever the call is put out. Tortles view Telikos as an odd place but find its unique composition with a hollow center and natural mana interesting and a joy to explore. Expect a Tortle to be a fast, close friend.

Amphibious. You have a swimming speed equal to your walking speed and can breathe air or under water.
Natural Armor. Your shell provides you a base AC of 17 (your Dexterity modifier doesn't affect this number). You can't wear light, medium, or heavy 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 your 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. If a creature behind you is targeted by an attack while you are in your shell, they gain the benefits of half-cover.
Natural Instincts. You gain proficiency with one of the following skills of your choice: Animal Handling, Insight, Medicine, Nature, Perception, or Survival.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and one other language that you and your DM agree is appropriate for your character, likely one that a close friend of yours from the wider Multiverse speaks.

Rare Races

Illithid (Mind Flayer)

Terrors From The Stars

Illithids, also called Mind Flayers, are the scourge of sentient creatures across countless worlds. Psionic tyrants, slavers, and interdimensional voyagers, they are insidious masterminds that harvest entire races for their own twisted ends. Four tentacles snake from their octopus-like heads, flexing in hungry anticipation when sentient creatures come near.

Since Time Immemorial...

In eons past, illithids controlled empires that spanned many worlds. They subjugated and consequently warped whole races of humanoid slaves, including the githyanki and githzerai, the grimlocks, and the kuo-toa. Conjoined by a collective consciousness, the illithids hatch plots as far-reaching and evil as their fathomless minds can conceive.

In The Aftermath

With their leader dead, the remaining Illithid on Telikos have had to sneak about in shadows, hiding from those they attempted to conquer. Cut off from any central leadership, some have made deals with the criminal underworld to try and gain control of the world through pure subversion while others have simply struggled to survive. Cruel, cunning, and used to taking worlds with ease, it's not likely any of them are going to change their ways - but due to the strangeness of Telikos compared to other worlds they've conquewred and the mana around them, anything is possible - if a slim chance.

Illithid Traits

As an Illithid, you have the following racial traits:

Ability Score Increase. Increase your Intelligence Score by 2, and your Wisdom Score by 1.
Creature Type. You are an Aberration.
Speed. Your walking speed is 30 feet.
Age. Illithid are hatched as tadpoles, being parasitic organisms that live for 10 years and are then implanted into a host which is converted over the course of a week into an Illithid. Illithid live for another 125 years after that point.
Size. Illithid range from 5 to 6 feet tall. Your size is Medium
Darkvision. Accustomed to the caves of the Underdark, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Magic Resistance. You have advantage on saving throws against spells.
Tentacles. You have tentacles, which are natural weapons that deal 1d6 bludgeoning damage and use your Intelligence modifier instead of Strength for attack and damage rolls. You are proficient with your tentacles.
Telepathy. You can communicate telepathically with a willing creature as long as it understands one language you speak and is within 60 feet of you.

Illithid Psionics. You know the Mind Sliver (TCE) cantrip. Starting at 3rd level, you can cast the dissonant whispers spell with this trait. Starting at 5th level, you can also cast the detect thoughts spell with it. Once you cast dissonant whispers or detect thoughts with this trait, you can't cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest. You can also cast either of those spells using any spell slots you have of the appropriate level.

Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells when you cast them with this trait (choose when you select this race). None of these spells require spell components when you cast them with this trait.

Mind Blast. When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one of your attacks with a blast of psychic energy in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make an Intelligence saving throw (DC = 8 + your Intelligence modifier + your proficiency bonus). On a failed save, the creature takes 2d8 psychic damage and be incapacitated until the end of its next turn. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage and is not incapacitated. This damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (3d8), 11th level (4d8), and 17th level (5d8). The range of this feature increases to 30 feet at 11th level and 60 feet at 17th level.

You may use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
