The Leshy - The Homebrewery

The Leshy Emisarries of the wilds, Leshy are immortal spirits given temporary form.

They may become guardians of their homes or in rare cases, travellers in search of something more. Leshy Traits Ability Score Increase.

When you choose to play a Leshy, also choose one of the subraces listed below: Leaf Leshy With bodies made of foliage, Leaf Leshies have adapted to the influence of the wind constantly threatening to carry them away. Body of Leaves. Your body is made mostly from natural foliage, and like a leaf tumbling from a tree, you land from falls with particular grace. You take no damage from falling, regardless of the distance you fall. In addition, you can move up to 2 feet horizontally for every 1 foot you descend. Vine Leshy Formed by thick cordage of vines, roots, or other flexible forms of plant matter, Vine Leshies are capable of adjusting their bodies to a minor extent. Prehensile Vines. Your limbs are made of extendable vines. When you make a melee attack on your turn, your reach for it is 5 feet greater than normal. In addition, you have a climbing speed equal to half your walking speed. Gourd Leshy Embracing their lack of organs or physical limitations, Gourd Leshies have found alternative uses for redundant body parts. Hollow Head. You have a large gourd for a skull. Your knowledge comes from within your spirit, rather than a physical brain, and you have found a handier use for the space inside your head. Your head functions as a backpack in regards to storing items. You can use the Use an Object action as a bonus action on items stored within your head. Fungus Leshy "Born" in dark and damp caves, Fungus Leshies adopt the unique traits of their fungal cousins. Fungal Adaptation. Your body was made from fungi that grows in the shade of caves and trees, and you are at home in dark caverns and warrens. You gain darkvision out to a range of 60 feet. In addition, you gain resistance to poison damage and advantage on saving throws against poison. Credit: Pathfinder RPG Bestiary
