Dnd Apeling Race

Apel­ings are an ape-like race native to the trop­i­cal land of Banavi­ta, an island shaped like a per­fect banana. They are agile climbers with excel­lent con­trol over their limbs. Their feet are so flex­i­ble that they can use them much like their hands. Some Apel­ings even pos­sess an extra “tail hand”
a long, pre­hen­sile tail which they can use as a third hand.

Appearance of the Apelings

Apel­ings strong­ly resem­ble ordi­nary mon­keys, rang­ing from small, nim­ble spi­der mon­key like types to larg­er species. Their fur col­ors, body shapes, and tail types can vary between tribes.

The Land of Banavita

Banavi­ta is a lush, trop­i­cal island filled with banana trees, palm trees, and many oth­er fruit bear­ing plants. Most of the land is cov­ered in dense jun­gle. Scat­tered through­out this jun­gle are ancient tem­ples, often guard­ed by wise and pow­er­ful goril­las. These goril­las serve as spir­i­tu­al lead­ers and pro­tec­tors of the Apel­ing com­mu­ni­ty, and they also form the rul­ing lead­er­ship of the land.

Conflicts: The Struggle with the Giffs

The inhab­i­tants of Banavi­ta are locked in an ongo­ing strug­gle with the Giffs a race of French, hip­popota­mus like beings. The Giffs seek to con­quer fer­tile Banavi­ta, not only for its abun­dant food sup­ply but also to trans­form the island into a prof­itable tourist attrac­tion. The Apel­ings fierce­ly resist these plans, fight­ing to pro­tect their home and nat­ur­al habi­tat from exploita­tion.

Goril­la Apel­ing

• Goril­la Apel­ings are strong and stur­dy, allow­ing them to hit hard, while tak­ing a hit them­selves. Goril­la Apel­ings can be eas­i­ly dis­tin­guished by their taller heights and large builds.
  
  
• Heavy Lifters:Their car­ry­ing capac­i­ty and feats of strength count as on size larg­er then them­selves.
  
  
• Intim­i­dat­ing Pres­ence:They gain pro­fi­cien­cy in intim­i­da­tion (do not dou­ble if you already have it), and gain advan­tage on intim­i­da­tion checks. 

Mon­key Apel­ing

• Mon­key Apel­ings are small and nim­ble, which makes them excel­lent climbers and very light on their feet. Mon­key Apel­ings can be eas­i­ly dis­tin­guished by their usu­al­ly short­er heights and their tails.
  
  
• Fast and Nim­ble:They can move at a speed of 35 ft walk­ing, and 40 ft. climb­ing.
  
  
• Pre­hen­sile Tail:Apel­ings have a tail that acts as an extra appendage that is able to hold and move small objects. Apel­ings can also hang from their tails and save them selves from falling, if that can grab some­thing in time suc­ceed­ing a dex­ter­i­ty check. Addi­tion­al­ly they have impec­ca­ble bal­ance, so they have pro­fi­cien­cy on acro­bat­ics checks. 

Orang­utan Apel­ing

• Orang­utan Apel­ings are nat­u­ral­ly more wise or intel­li­gent com­pared to their oth­er Apel­ing coun­ter­parts. They can be eas­i­ly dis­tin­guished by their red-orange fur and long arm.
  
  
• Lanky Arms:They have +5 ft. to their reach
  
  
• Nat­ur­al Skill:Choose one Skill or Tool pro­fi­cien­cy, and add twice your pro­fi­cien­cy bonus to it.
  
  
• Lan­guages: Your char­ac­ter can speak, read, and write. Com­mon, Ape and one oth­er lan­guage that you want.
