race features:
Creature Type. You are a humanoid. You are also considered a fey for any prerequisite or effect that requires you to be a fey. Size. Larval opterans stand between 2 and 3 feet tall, while adult opterans are between 5 to 6 feet. Your size begins as Small. When you become an adult opteran, you grow to Medium size. See the Metamorphosis trait for details. Speed. Your base walking speed as a larval opteran is 25 feet. Your base walking speed as an adult opteran is 30 feet. Metamorphosis. At 1st level, you are a larval opteran. When you reach 5th level, you can choose to undergo a metamorphosis over the course of 24 hours. After this period elapses, you emerge as an adult opteran: you lose the Many-Footed and String Shot traits, and you gain the Flight and Radiant Wing traits. You can delay this change until you reach 6th level, at which point it happens spontaneously. Many-Footed (Larval Form Only). Having many legs and a low centre of gravity gives you extraordinary balance. You have advantage on ability checks made to maintain your balance and on ability checks and saving throws made to avoid the prone condition. String Shot (Larval Form Only). As an action, you can fire a torrent of sticky string at a creature you can see within 15 feet of you. The target must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw (DC equals 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus) or become restrained for 1 minute. A creature can use its action to make a Strength check against the aforementioned DC, freeing itself or a restrained creature within its reach on a success. You can use it a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest. Flight (Adult Form Only). As an adult opteran, you have a flying speed of 20 feet. To use this speed, you can’t be wearing medium or heavy armour. Radiant Wing (Adult Form Only). Those wings would dazzle any performance. You have advantage on all Charisma checks.
