![]() not actually particularly meaningful for almost anyone. Let's look at the kinds of builds that might seek this thing. It's not game-breaking, but it's a bit much. I guess by balanced I mean that I don't want the Virashti to be the only "viable" choice when min-maxing a specific build. Is this race overpowered when compared to other 5e races? And if so, how can I improve balancing this race? A comment suggested for me to put a standard for the basis of the comparison. So far in my campaign, I've yet to pull the dual wielding shortbows gimmick, so I don't know how that plays yet. Dual wielding shortbows is especially comparable to variant Humans picking up Crossbow Expert, if not worse. I've compared it to races like Aarakocra, which gets flight, and Satyrs, which gets magic resistance, and feels like this is pretty balanced, or at least comparable to them. However, I have struggled assessing how powerful the Four-Armed trait actually is, and the Virashti race as a whole. Those with a stronger unique trait usually have less racial traits overall. Other races usually gets a combination of natural weapon/natural armor, innate spellcasting, skill and/or tool proficiencies, damage type resistances and a unique racial trait. This also means that you can dual wield non-heavy two-handed weapons such as, greatclubs, light crossbows, or shortbows. The Four-Armed trait allows you to dual wield longswords (or equivalent) and rapiers right out the gate, making the Dual Wielder feat less appealing (if not obsolete). The goal is to have a playable four-armed race in D&D 5e. You can speak, read, and write Common and Virashti. You are proficient in the Athletics or Sleight of Hand skill, and one skill of your choice from the following list: Arcana, History, Investigation, Nature, or Religion. This off-hand attack does not add your ability modifier to the damage rolls, following the rules of two-weapon fighting.įurthermore, you cannot use a shield while you are wielding a weapon with the Heavy property, or wielding more than one weapon simultaneously. When you attack with a weapon that does not have the Heavy property, you can make an off-hand attack using a separate weapon that also does not have the Heavy property using your bonus action. Once per turn, you can also draw, stow, or interact with an object requiring no action, assuming you have a free hand. These arms can be used for tasks such as, performing somatic components of spells, grappling, or wielding weapons. Your morphology has grant you an extra set of arms. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray. 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. Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. ![]() ![]() Virashti range from 5 feet to over 6 feet tall. They generally don't have a preference towards lawful or chaotic. Virashti mature about the same rate as humans, but they can live up to 100 years. Your Dexterity score increase by 2, and your Intelligence score increase by 1. They have the best education system in the galaxy. They have learned how to balance advancing technology while preserving nature. The Virashti are a race of blue-skinned, four-armed geniuses that lives in forest cities. I'd like to see how this race is balanced against the existing ones to see if we could include it in our PvP testing: Virashti I'm trying to see what other builds I can make using this potential race below and how it might stack up in PvP if we allow it. We generally run fairly strict RAW and don't allow homebrew, but we have allowed Unearthed Arcana in the past. My table likes to theorycraft and make builds that are then playtested via PvP.
