Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ancalagon" data-source="post: 6899870" data-attributes="member: 23">HelloI was going to repost this since it was deleted and hoping to get a bit more input, and I see the forum structure has been changed.The Yoon-suin setting (excellent btw) is set for a more basic version of D&D and as such the mechanical definition of the race is that they are magic users or holymen (clerics), and that is all.  I thus had to convert it to a 5e version - not limiting their class choice but making those good choices for them.  Is the following balanced?ABILITY SCORES:  +2 int, +1 wisdom.  Slugmen have for generations favored mental acuity above all else, and most received a thorough education AGE:  Slugmen live to either 50 or 200-250 years, depending on if they can "Prove" themselves.Alignment:  Slugmen tend to be lawful, being at the top of a intricate society.  They tend to be somewhat indifferent to issues of good and evil. Size:  Slugmen are a bit shorter but stouter than humans (size medium)Speed:  Slugmen walking speed is 25 feetVision:  Slugmen do *not* have darkvision but can see 360 degrees due to their flexible eye stalks.  They vision at very long rage is inferior to humans (normally won't affect in-game play). Slippery:  Slugmen's bodies are flexible and covered in a thin layer of mucus.  They gain advantage in escaping magical or mundane bonds, grappling attempts, the tentacles of a monster etc.  This does not protect vs paralysis however.  They also have advantage to checks when trying to squeeze through a narrow opening.  Poison resistance:  Slugmen consume so many teas, opiums etc that they have advantage on saves vs poisons, and resistance to poison damage. Magic harmony:  A slugman can attune to 4 magical items, not 3.  The 4rth must be of lesser power (common, uncommon or rare) Scholarly:  The Slugman is proficient in one of the following skills:  Arcana, History, Religion or InvestigationLanguage:  You know both the trade tongue of the Yellow City as well as the Slugmen languageSubrace: noneP.S.  It would be tempting to give this race innate magical powers (like a cantrip etc) but due to the structure of my campaign background, that would not work.  Slugmen are very good at *learning* magic but have no innate powers per se.  To "prove" itself (and be awarded life-extending tea) a slugman must demonstrate he can wield magic of some form.</blockquote>
