Homebruin - the T’k’chek
Hullo, Gentle Readers. Once again, I’m back with one of the races of my campaign world, Tol, that I’m revamping in line with the way the One D&D playtest is going. I was previously using the very excellent Ratfolk from Kobold Press as the template for this race, but this gives me the opportunity to put my own spin on things, as well as to fit the race into the new format that the game is using going forward.
Thanks for the art this week go to Scufflesrat who commissioned the piece. The artist is @sneakygnida on Twitter.
Whenever possible, I like to put my homebrew materials up on D&D Beyond in order to let people use them, and these folks are no exception. You can find the article at https://www.dndbeyond.com/races/1155988-tkchek
Oh, and it’s pronounced a bit like TUH-kuh-check.
T’k’chek, also known as ratfolk, are a diminutive race of humanoid rodents. They are believed to have originated in Dojhan, and they are extremely rare outside of those lands. Some can be the size of a short human, but many are as small as a gnome. Even the taller ones often seem even shorter, as many have a hunched posture. They have very rat-like snouts, teeth, and ears, bony hands and feet, a covering of fur over most of their body, and long, naked, semi-prehensile tails.
Because of their rarity, many t’k’chek outside of Dojhan wear baggy clothing, cloaks, and masks to conceal what they are. This is partly because of the ill reputation that were-rats have in the other lands of Tol.
T’k’chek don’t seem to serve any God, but they often make little shrines to the Primal Spirits, who they believe imbued them with their gifts. They are, by nature, secretive, and they love ferreting out secrets from others. As a result, t’k’chek are excellent information brokers, although they usually trade for new information as often as coin.
T'k'chek Names
T'k'chek do not differentiate between different genders in their naming conventions, choosing syllables that "sound right" for the child. These birthnames are often held as a t'k'chek's favorite secret from outsiders, one to be shared only with those who win their trust and become true friends. Instead, they develop descriptive names like a surname, and these are most often used with non-t'k'chek.
Birthnames: Che'tak, D'bik, H'rik, K'tek, P'rok, Thath'rik
Public Names: Clever, Fastfoot, Greycoat, Longtail, Patch, Scurry, Whiskers, Wisenose, Yelloweye
T'k'chek Traits
Your t'k'chek character has a number of traits in common with all other ratfolk.
Ability Score Increases
When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one score by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1. Follow this rule regardless of the method you use to determine the scores, such as rolling or point buy. The “Quick Build” section for your character’s class offers suggestions on which scores to increase. You can follow those suggestions or ignore them, but you can’t raise any of your scores above 20.
Languages
Your character can speak, read, and write Common and one other language that you and your DM agree is appropriate for the character. The Player’s Handbook offers a list of languages to choose from. The DM is free to modify that list for a campaign.
Creature Type
You are a Humanoid.
Size
You range from Small to Medium size, chosen when you create the character.
Speed
Your base walking speed is 30 feet. You also have a burrowing speed of 10 feet, thanks to your strong jaws and clever fingers.
Darkvision
Accustomed to life underground, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 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.
Labyrinthine Recall
You can perfectly recall any path you have traveled.
Nimbleness
You can move through the space of any creature that is of a size larger than yours.
Squirm
You are remarkably dexterous when squeezing through small openings. You are considered one size category smaller for purposes of squeezing through a smaller space. In addition, you have Advantage on skill checks made to escape a Grapple.

For @coveitous from here
Alex focused on the touch. The tiny repetitive motions. Barely there, just enough to be comforting. Was this what it felt like to be known? To be touched with the intention of only offering kindness? Was this what the poets and songwriters spoke of, when the pain and grief of another could break your own heart merely in empathy?
Yan had sold sex. Yan knew how to make it feel real. Making people feel like this had become as much of her profession as Alex had for spilling blood. It was a credit to her that even Alex, with all her cynicism, was struggling to remember it had other intentions.
She nodded, sighing heavily. Those closest to us. Physically and emotionally. She had indeed been so many things. Aesa Greycoat, the warrior of the sacking of Lundun. Alexander Moran, scourge of East India Trading Company. Alexandrie Du Moran, delightful french revolutionary. They wore masks as much as they all shared her face.
She accepted the kisses, moving to lie her frame in top of Yan’s when she sank away. The thin sheet of the bed was the only thing between their skin, as Alex demanded more. Her hands ran down the others frame, pausing only to suck at her neck. Merely with pressure, no fangs.
“My spirit no doubt haunts the deepest pits of Hel. It shall have to wait another few lifetimes for my body, I assume. You have heard enough from me for an evening or two.”
