Myr'Khruul mature swiftly through several visible instars before stabilizing into adult form. The kin-telepathy deepens with age, and the eldest Myr'Khruul are often the most listened to.

Features

  • Exoskeleton

    Your chitinous outer plating armors you naturally. When you are not wearing armor, your AC equals 12 + your Dexterity modifier. You can use this base AC with a shield.

  • Hive Whisper

    You share a subtle, intentional telepathic bond with other Myr'Khruul within 60 feet. You can convey simple words, images, and intentions to any Myr'Khruul in range without speaking aloud. Receiving such communication does not require an action and is not detectable by mundane surveillance. You have advantage on Wisdom (Insight) checks made to read the intentions of another Myr'Khruul.

  • Multi-Faceted Vision

    Your compound eyes process motion across a wide arc. You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks made to notice fast-moving targets, including projectiles in flight. Creatures attacking you from outside your line of sight do not gain advantage on attack rolls solely from being unseen by you.

  • Chitin-Tongue

    You can read, write, and speak Myr (a clicking, harmonic cant produced with the mandibles) and Common.

  • Whisper Warning

    You send the ally a warning through Hive Whisper just before the blow lands. The ally gains a +3 bonus to AC against that attack. You can use this a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus per long rest.
