Features
- Multi-Armed
You have four arms. You can hold and use two additional one-handed items at any time, such as a tool, a focus, or a second weapon in your secondary set of hands. When you take the Attack action with a one-handed weapon in your primary hand, you can use a bonus action to make one additional attack with a different one-handed weapon held in a secondary hand. The bonus attack adds your ability modifier to damage only if that modifier is negative.
- Vibrational Speech
You are fluent in Thuulean, a nonverbal language of vibration that those with the appropriate proficiency can perceive. You can also speak one other language of your choice, such as Common. When you speak Thuulean in the presence of someone who does not know it, you are not understood, and you cannot be overheard or recorded by typical audio surveillance. Thuulean is felt as vibration and makes no sound.
- Trader's Sense
You have advantage on Charisma checks made to negotiate, barter, or appraise goods. When you encounter an unfamiliar item, you can spend 1 minute examining it to learn its approximate market value in any known galactic economy.
- Resilient Form
You have resistance to one damage type chosen at character creation from cold, fire, or kinetic. Thuul biology adapted across many frontier worlds, and your lineage favored one environment.
- Fourth Hand
You use an empty hand to catch the blow. You gain a +2 bonus to AC against that attack, applied after the roll is known. If this turns the hit into a miss, you may make one unarmed strike against the attacker. Once per short or long rest.
