Alien Nature
Thri‐kreen are so different from most other humanoid races, with such different social behaviors and body language, that you suffer disadvantage on any Charisma (Persuasion) and Wisdom (Insight) checks when dealing with non-arthropod creatures.
You do not sleep, and can gain the benefits of a long rest while performing light activity for the same time. You are immune to any magic that would put you to sleep.
Insect Senses
Antennae.The antennae atop your head give you blindsight with a radius of 15 feet.
Compund Eye.Your kind’s eyes are composed of hundreds of smaller “eyes”, giving you multiple views at once. They’re perfect for spotting something sneaking up but confusing when inspecting something closely. You are proficient in the Wisdom (Perception) skill and you add double your proficiency bonus to your Passive Perception score. You also have a -2 penalty to Intelligence (Investigation) checks. Ultravision. You can see in the ultraviolet end of the spectrum. Many substances look different under ultraviolet light. Blood, feces, and urine glows. Many feathers, fish, flowers, and coral have glowing patterns, and the chlorophyll in plants is a glowing blood red. Many minerals such as amber, opal, quartz, and ruby glow. Even the faintest radiation of an electrical field has a brightly glowing corona when viewed with ultravision.
Gain advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks while tracking a creature that is below its maximum hit points, and on Wisdom (Perception) or Intelligence (Investigation) checks made to see bodily fluids, electricity, or minerals and other substances that glow under ultraviolet light.
Carapace
Your base AC is 13 plus your Dexterity modifier.
You cannot benefit from the protection of any armor that grants you an AC of 13 or lower. Due to the shape of your body, armor must be custom-made for your form and costs twice as much.
