Thri-Kreen

Alien and enigmatic, Thri-kreen are chitinous hunters of the wastes—ever-alert, ever-adaptable, and bound by thoughts shared only in silence.

Core Traits Overview

Thri-kreen Traits

• Chameleon Carapace: While not wearing armor, your chitinous body grants you a base AC of 13 + your Dexterity modifier. As an action, you can change your carapace to match surroundings, gaining advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to hide.
• 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 dim light. You discern only shades of gray in darkness.
• Secondary Arms: You have two smaller arms below your primary pair. These can manipulate objects, open or close doors or containers, pick up or set down Tiny objects, or wield weapons with the light property.
• Sleepless: You don’t sleep and remain conscious during a long rest, though you must still be inactive to gain its benefits.
• Thri-kreen Telepathy: You can’t speak non-thri-kreen languages without magic. Instead, you can telepathically communicate with willing creatures within 120 feet. They must understand at least one language, and the link ends if either party is incapacitated, breaks contact, or moves out of range.

Languages

• You can read and write any languages you know. You communicate via telepathy rather than speech.
