Size. Roaches are small creatures and are only about 3 to 4 feet tall. Superior Darkvision. Roaches mainly dwell in dark tunnels deep in the earth. You have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 120 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray. Sunlight Sensitivity. You have disadvantage on attack rolls and on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight when you, the target of your attack, or whatever you are trying to perceive is in direct sunlight. Keen Survivors. Roaches are resilient and have an innate knack for crafting tools to aid them. You gain proficiency in the Wisdom (Survival) skill. Additionally, you gain proficiency with Tinker's tools. Relentless Endurance. When you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can drop to 1 hit point instead. You can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest. Mechanic Augments. Parts of your body have been replaced with metallic augments and crude machinery. You choose one augment at 1st level. You gain an additional effect at 5th level, depending on which augment you chose. At 1st level, choose one of the following options: Mechanic Gliders. When you fall and aren’t incapacitated, you can subtract up to 100 feet from the fall when calculating falling damage, and you can move up to 2 feet horizontally for every 1 foot you descend. At 5th level: You gain back boosters that allow you to get into the air. You gain a flying speed of 30 feet. To use this speed, you can’t be wearing medium or heavy armor. Metallic Chitin. When you aren't wearing armor, your AC is 13 + your Dexterity modifier. You can use your natural armor to determine your AC if the armor you wear would leave you with a lower AC. A shield's benefits apply as normal while you use your natural armor. At 5th level: You gain resistance to acid and poison damage. Respirator. This augment grants you the effects of the water breathing spell once per long rest for 1 hour. At 5th level: You can breathe normally in any environment. You have advantage on Saving Throws made against harmful gases and vapors (effects like cloudkill and stinking cloud, inhaled Poisons, and the breath Weapons of some dragons)
