Turtle Duck (5e Race)

Turtle Duck

Long ago, the four nations lived in harmony. But whether it still is or not doesn't matter- You're a turtle duck! The most lovable fuzzy cutie stuffed in a shell! Protective of her poor child now pelted with bread, the turtle duck mother rises against the tyrant child prince Zuko with a bite, only persuaded by his mother Ursa to stop her rage and assault against boy.

Physical Description

The turtle duck has a duck's head, neck, and tail, but the body, shell, and legs of a turtle. Its neck, tail, and most of its head are light brown or beige in color. A dark brown stripe runs from its bill back over its head. Its legs and unfeathered body are of the same shade of brown. Its shell is dark green and its scaly underside is light green or off white.

History

In ancient times, the large turtle duck pond added to the Fire Nation Royal Palace became one of the structure's most widely known features. By the time of Avatar Kyoshi, many Earth Kingdom nobles had constructed their own mansions in likeness of the Fire Nation Royal Palace, including a turtle duck pond.

Turtle Duck Names

Turtle ducks usually don't have names, as they are usually simple animals- unless kept as pets. As pets they are given usual pet names. Give your turtle duck a name you'd give to your own pet turtle duck if you had one.

Turtle Duck Traits

Mix of turtle and duck from the Avatar: The Last Airbender universe
Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score increases by 2 and either your Strength (if from Earth Kingdom) or Wisdom (If from Fire Nation) score increases by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20
Age. Turtle ducks mature at 10 and usually live until 50
Alignment. Turtle ducks are usually good creatures but are otherwise wildcards
Size. Turtle ducks are usually around 1ft tall. Your size is Small
Speed. Your base walking and swimming speed is 30 feet
Wide Colorful Vision. You have retinas superior to the normal and have better sight then normal. You are proficient with the Perception skill.
Webbed Feet. Thanks to your duck webbed feet, you have a swimming speed equal to your walking speed
Natural Shell Armor. You have natural armor thanks to your shell that doesn't weight you down too much. Your AC is now 13 + your Dexterity mod when not wearing armor. You can only wear armor that is specially made for you- meaning you can wear a special made shield for your shell to still gain the prior bonus
Beak Bite. Your beak is a natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with your beak, you deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.
Languages. You can read and write Common and one other language of your choice. You mainly quack instead of speaking (Talk with your DM about being able to speak if you think being unable to will be a problem, but still want to try this class. They ultimately hold that decision)
