Race/Class Hybrid Bullshittery

"Hey, where's Perry?"


Raclal Features

Am I sweating milk?!

You think thats water you're sweating? Nope, thats milk my semi-aquatic friend, slippery, gross, platypus baby nourshing milk. No one wants to touch something that milky, it's vile. You have advantage on grapples made against you by sentient hunmanoids.

He's Just a Platypus, they don't do much.

A true master of disguise these platypuses (Platypi? Platypeople?) are. Especially one that leads a double life of a secret agent. You have gain proficiency in the Stealth Skill and advantage on stealth rolls made when not wearing your fancy fedora.

A Platypus? GASP! PERRY THE PLATYPUS?!

With your natural stealthy ability as a semi-aquatic mammal, people are easily confused when they see you without that fancy fedora. As an action you can remove and store your fedora (You do NOT want to know where) and attempt to fool a creature into thinking you really are just a platypus. The creature must make a widsom save DC 10 + Your Proficiency bonus or they cease to percieve you as a threat. A creature you are involved in combat with makes this save with advantage.

The Semi Aquatic, Egg layin' Mammal of Action

When you aren't using your platyposterior for warming your latest clutch of eggs, you can use that impressive beaver tail to propel you gracefully through the water. You have a swim speed equal to your normal movement speed and can hold your breath for 30 minutes.

All my traps are platypus sized

Small, nimble, agile, deadly. Everyone understimates your platypower because of your dimninutive height. Your size is small and you can occupy another creatures space. You do not consider moving through creatures of size medium or above spaces difficult terrain. You have a movement speed of 25ft.

I wonder what he's saying?

The platypus noise is one of the most interesting of all the platypus' facets. No one knows what it means. Not even the universal animal translator. You cannot communicate verbaly through any means other than platypus noise.

Ornithorhynchus anatinus agilitatem

What? You thought I wouldn't take the latin name of the platypus genus and then stick a poor google translation of agility on the end? Clearly you don't know me. Anywas take a + 2 to your Dex you slippery little blighter.

Fedoras; Fashionable and Functional.

Whenever going out to fight crime, it is imperative that the agent wear one of the Fedora's available to them.

Starting at level one, an agent must wear a fedora of some kind or be disadvantaged on attacks and saves. Only one fedora may be worn at a time.
