Moth'Drin (5e Race)

This page is of questionable balance. Reason: What is "mech armor" that impedes your flight? Also, this race just keeps gaining entire resistances to damage types? Yeah, no. And the subs have arbitrary saves, regeneration stronger than most axolotl-based homebrews, and also a large amount of excessive level scaling.

Moth'Drin

"The Moth'Drin don't care when he sees The Flame. He might get burned, but he's in the game. And once he's in, he can't go back, he'll Beat his wings 'til he burns them black..."

Physical Description

Moth'Drin is a race of moth that decided to start evolving into something much better. it is always in the process of evolution, being able to adapt to various types of environments, even the most feared, such as wars or radiation. To do this, moths had to start with a versatile body, so they evolved into a type of human, having eyes, ears, legs, mouth, arms, etc. everything a standard human would have, the difference is that Moth'Drin normally has grayish skin, Moth wings on his back, normally dark eyes and 2 antennas on his head. Their colors vary greatly from one to another, usually always in favor of the color of the environment.Another important detail for their evolution is that their race is normally parthenogenic and can reproduce alone. but the difference is that they still need to be in a fertile state, and from a partner who does not necessarily need to be of the opposite sex or their own race. you just need a partner.

History

Because they always live very little, or are always an easy target for hunting by other animals. the Moth'Drin Moths were on the brink of extinction. And because they always worshiped and admired the Moon at all times, the Moon Goddess blessed the race so that they could have a second chance. Thus, the race came from a small moth and transformed into Humanoid Moths. Where your only goal is to be united with each other.

Society

The Moth'Drin always remain united with their own race, having only 1 main kingdom. where everyone of their race can live in communion without racism from other races, as they are not well accepted by them.
