Features
- Canopy Build
You have a climbing speed of 40 feet and can climb with a weapon in one hand. You do not need a free hand to climb.
- Prehensile Tail
Your tail can hold your weight, letting you hang with both hands free, and can retrieve an object within 5 feet that you can see. It cannot wield a weapon or make an attack.
- The Floor Is Optional
You take no damage from the first 30 feet of a fall and land on your feet, and you do not have disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws made while climbing.
- Grip
You have advantage on Strength (Athletics) checks made to climb, to grapple, and to hold on to something.
- Ground-Shy
Simian settlements stand in the crown of the forest, and the ground is where they bury things. You have disadvantage on Charisma checks made to negotiate with a simian who believes you have brought them down to it.
