Epic encounters, stunning locations, and breathtaking lore in a TTRPG fantasy world inspired by the grandeur and myth of ancient Egypt.
Hey there friends, quick announcement: If you've ever wanted to chat questions at Luke Gygax (son of legendary D&D founder Gary Gygax, now is the time! Dave is live with him tonight at 7:00 EST and they'll take Q&A. Tune in!
Hey there folks, we appreciate the feedback on our updates; you'd like more setting content, and we're happy to deliver.
Today we want to introduce a new species you'll find hanging around in Keshanar: The Ren-Khepri.
Stocky, insect-like humanoids reminiscent of Scarabs. The Ren-Khepri can live up to 350-450 years, and they reach maturity at around 80 years old. Their thick, armored carapaces start off a dull tan or gray color in youth. As they age their shells begin to take on more and more intricate, colorful and unique designs.
When speaking, the Ren-Khepri tend to prefer sharp “k” sounds, which can at first sound alien to those unfamiliar with them (talk becomes tal-k, walk becomes wal-k, etc.). Ren-Khepri have a second set of smaller arms that are useful for intricate tasks, like weaving, but not suitable for holding heavy objects or wielding weapons or shields. They have wings that can support their weight in flight, albeit quite slowly, which can be very useful for avoiding dangers like falling, but not so much in combat.
Creature Type: Humanoid
Size: Medium
Speed: Walking speed 30 feet
Minimal Flight: Flying speed of 5 feet
Natural Armor: Base AC is 13 plus your dexterity modifier when not wearing armor
Skilled Artisan: When you make an ability check with an Artisan’s Tool with which you are proficient, you can make that roll with advantage. You can give yourself advantage in this way a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Dazzling Shell: At level 3 you learn the spell Color Spray. You can cast it once without a spell slot, and you regain the ability to cast it in that way when you finish a Long Rest. You can also cast the spell using any spell slots you have of the appropriate level. Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for this spell, chosen at character creation.
Feel free to give us thoughts on these guys in the comments. We'd love to hear!
