Echani (5e Race)
Echani[edit]
Physical Description[edit]
Rather similar to humans at a first glance, echani were known for their light skin, white hair, and silver eyes. They also looked extremely similar to one another, and outsiders often couldn't tell echani siblings apart.
Society[edit]
The Echani were a warrior-like matriarchical society originating from the planet Eshan. Renowned for their martial prowess, Echani were trained from birth in martial arts both armed and unarmed. They excelled in close quarters combat as they practiced a specialized style of fighting where they could anticipate an opponent's moves by observing subtle changes in stance or minute muscle movements. Renowned Echani warriors were believed to have the ability to forsee entire fights or even battles in this way and legend holds that their most wise and skilled generals would know the outcomes of wars as soon as they started.
Echani Names[edit]

Echani Art. If a humanoid you can see makes a melee weapon attack, you can use your reaction to make a Wisdom (Insight) check against the target’s Charisma (Deception).
