CHLEANA HERITAGES

Outcrop Chleana

You live where water ends and rocky shore begins, as such you're a consummate climber. You gain the Combat Climber skill feat, even if you don't meet the prerequisites. You can use your tentacles to Climb, leaving your hands free. Additionally, if you succeed at an Athletics check to Climb, you critically succeed instead.

Mimic Chleana

Your chromatophores have become so adept at disguise that they draw on ambient magics to improve even further. You can cast Illusory Disguise as an occult innate spell at will. Thanks to your malleable body, your ability to be “another creature of the same body shape” is as expansive as you can argue and the GM allows.

Tetrod Chleana

The venom of chleana is quite powerful, and some individuals’ are so strong their body had to become resilient lest it poison itself. You gain resistance to poison equal to half your level (minimum 1 resistance), and you gain a +1 circumstance bonus to all saving throws against poison.

Phorean Chleana

You can change your skin color to blend in with your surroundings, making minor shifts with a single action and dramatic changes over the course of an hour. When you're in an area where your coloration is similar to the environment (for instance, forest green in a forest), you can use the minor, single action application of this ability to make localized changes that help you blend into your surroundings, gaining a +2 circumstance bonus to Stealth checks until your surroundings change in coloration or pattern.

Ganglion Chleana

It is said chleana have brains spread through their body. While this isn’t quite accurate, your dense neurons make you quite intelligent. You are Expert in Will saving throws.

TENTACLES
The eight tentacles chleana stand on don’t all have to be used for standing at once. They can use these ‘spare’ tentacles to perform as additional arms, albeit less dexterous ones. Chleana can hold up to four objects at once, two with their normal arms, and two with tentacles. If one equips weapons, they are used with Clumsy 3. Weapons in the club group can be equipped without issue.
