Diceling

T he last thing I expected when I went to Ol' Mammy's gambling house was a couple of cube-headed dice-throwers waiting for me at the table. I sit down, crack a joke, "Well, isn't this a little unfair?" And it certainly was! I was down a month's wages after that little charade.

Tetrar

The most common subrace of dicelings are the tetrar. Tetrar live together in throngs, populating extensive slums. They excel at street fighting and thievery.

Ability Score Improvement. Your Dexterity score increases by 1.

Sharp Edges. Your pointy head is a natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed attacks. If you hit with it, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d4 + your Dexterity modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

Simple, Yet Mighty. Once per turn when you roll a d4 for a damage die, you may reroll the d4 and add it to the total damage dealt.

Hexar

The hexar are renowned for their versatility, having the ability to apply their skills to any situation. Only the tetrar respect the authority of the hexar. Other dicelings tend to look down upon hexars due to their relatively dimunitive statures.

Ability Score Improvement. Your Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution score increases by 1.

Skill Set. You gain proficiency with one skill, three artisan's tools or instruments, and one martial weapon of your choice.

Octar

The role of priests and druids fall to the octar in diceling society, as they are naturally inclined with magical talents. Octars are known for their calm attitudes and gentle manners.

Ability Score Improvement. Your Wisdom score increases by 1.

Octar Magic. You know the magic stone cantrip. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the absorb elements spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. When you reach 5th level, you can cast the barkskin spell once as a 2nd-level spell with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for these spells.

Decar

Decar make up most of the diceling military groups, due to their aggressive and bloodthirsty nature. The will to fight is an instinct for decars, and continues to control their bodies even when they fall unconscious.

Bloodthirsty. You gain proficiency with the Intimidation skill.

Fighting Instinct. When you are unconscious, you can still use your reaction to make attacks of opportunity.

Dodecars are the largest and strongest of the dicelings, demanding respect from the smaller subraces. In addition to their might, dodecars adhere to a specialty, which they train for their entire life.

Special Might. As a reaction to taking damage, you can expend a use of a class feature that you would normally take as an action or bonus action on your turn. You can't cast spells using spell slots with this feature. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Icosar

Icosars are rare and exert their power over other dicelings, even dodecars. Icosars are born with inherent knowledge about the workings of the multiverse, allowing them to predict future events. Icosars are whisked to the top of diceilngs society from birth. Since icosars are rare and usually hold authority over a society, ask your DM if you can play an icosar.

Ability Score Improvement. Your Intelligence score increases by 1.

Weave Fate. At the end of a long rest, roll a d20 and record the number rolled. You can replace any attack roll, saving throw, or ability check made by you or a creature that you can see with this roll. You must choose to do so before the roll is made. When you finish a long rest, you lose your previous roll.
