Notes
While the majority of these are from the Monster Manual, there are a few from Volo's Guide to Monsters (Grung, Annig Hag, and
Breur Hag). I plan on adding a handful of Volo's races at a later date. My uncertain list are Boggle, Chitinel, Korred, Nilbog, Redcap,
and Xvart.
Some MM races were planned, but scrapped because I could not find the right mix between flavor and balance (i.e. a skeleton as
a player race is too powerful or just didn't feel like a monster).
These races were designed to be used alongside other race options created by Wizards of the Coast and have been balanced
based on Detect Balance: a 5e Homebrew Race Guide in order to get a "balanced" score of 23-27.
Many of these races do not have ages, size specifications, etc. This was done to streamline the process for me. I do plan on
adding flavor text and explanations to these.
Please let me know of any bad wording, spelling, or other simple mistakes I have made. This is a work in progress; help me to
make it a fantastic resource. I am also open to suggestions for additions.

where they could be included.

PC's are required to be at least 25 years old in order to be
Medium Size.
Alignment Treants are neutral, but that doesn't mean they
cannot be provoked. The majority of Treants lie in forests
dormant, but they will protect their forest if need be.
Players as a Treant can choose any alignment, because
their Treant has a different drive than regular treants.

 Thri-Kreen Traits (24)
An insect huminoid with multiple appendages. A desert race
cursing you with seclusion. A hive mind social system. Who
knows, you might turn out to be a great member to our
organization.
Abillity Score Increase Your Constitution score increases by
2, and your Strength score increases by 1.
Age Thri-Kreen reach maturity only a year after hatching (as
most of the process is done inside the eggs). However, you
only live to be around 30 years old.
Alignment Thri-Kreen are taught to protect the hive at all
costs; this usually leads to a chaotic, attack-on-sight sort of
mentality. However, most that escape the hive life leave that
sentiment and lean towards any alignment.
Size Thri-Kreen are tall, skinny insect creatures. They stand
6-7 feet tall but only weigh 120-140 pounds because their
shells are mostly hollow. Your size is Medium.
Speed Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Languages You can speak, read, and write Common and
Thri-Kreen, but your Common could use some work. Most
of Thri-Kreen communication is through pheromones, so
the vocal cords are not usually well developed. When
speaking any language other than Thri-Kreen, a heavy
accent is blatenly there, often having to repeat themselves
and annunciate multiple times or even spell for clarity.
Extra Arms You have two smaller, weaker extra arms under
your dominant ones. You can hold light weapons and
objects with each, or hold one non-heavy weapon or object
with them both. Attacking with weapons with these arms
are treated as attacks with your "offhand"; when doing this,
this can be paired with another offhand attack and only
consume one Bonus Action. I.e. you can attack with your
dominant hand, then your less dominant hand and also
your smaller arms; this will consume your Action and
Bonus Action. You cannot use your Extra Arms to grapple
creatures larger than Tiny.
Sleepless Thri-Kreen do not sleep per se, they enter a torpor
state lasting 4 hours, during which they have a strong
awareness of their surroundings. They are the first to
notice any signs of danger while resting, thus getting no
disadvantage when making Perception checks while
resting. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit
that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.
Natural Armor Your naturally tough exoskeleton makes your
unarmored AC 12 + your Dexterity modifier. A shield's
benefits apply as normal while using Natural Armor.
Bite You have sharp pincers that you can bite your foe with. A
bite from you would deal 1d6 piercing damage.
