Tosculi (Hiveless)

Racial Traits

Your tosculi character has several special traits.

Ability Score Increase. One of your physical ability scores (Strength, Dexterity, Constitution) increases by 2, and one of your mental ability scores (Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma) increases by 2. You also take a –2 penalty to any one ability score. You may apply this penalty to the same ability score to which you gave a +2 bonus, granting you an overall +2 bonus to any one ability score.

Age. Tosculi reach maturity at around 13 years, but have shorter lifespans than most races with few living longer than 40 years.

Alignment. The tension between tosculi and other humanoids often makes it difficult for the Hiveless to develop any true sense of altruism toward others, and many are neutral in alignment, with good tosculi being rare, and evil ones more common. Hiveless tosculi are equally likely to be chaotic, lawful, or neutral.

Size. Hiveless tosculi are no more than 4 feet tall and typically weigh less than a humanoid of the same size. Your size is Small.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Natural Armor. Your Armor Class cannot be less than 11 + your Dexterity modifier no matter what armor you are wearing.

Natural Attacks. You have proficiency with your claws, which deal 1d4 slashing damage.

Gliding Wings. You take no damage from falls. You gain a fly speed of 40 feet but cannot hover. At the end of any round you fly, you must have descended at least one-quarter the distance you travelled or you fall.

Stalker. You have proficiency in the Perception skill and Stealth skill.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Tosculi and one other language of your choice (typically Southern).
