Mothfolk (5e Race)
|
This page is of questionable balance. Reason: Extremely high ASI. A flat perception bonus. Can wield 4 weapons. "for your first encounter" what? See 5e Race Design Guide.

This page is incomplete and/or lacking flavor. Reason: Lore would benefit from expansion. Some current aspects seem like {{April Fools}}. Light attraction and other traits is too vague by the standards of 5e. Is this supposed to be a humanoid? Incomplete RHW table.

This page needs grammatical help. Reason: Run-on sentences and strange punctuation make some aspects difficult to understand.
