At 9th level, you unlock your second method of variation. Your training in the place you grew up. Most insect humans grow up in the NEST or the PET SHOP, each with individual philosophies on insect humans, how they’re trained, and remaining neutral to the world. If you are a member of NEST, you’re usually a good aligned character. If you’re in NEST, PET SHOP members are automatically hostile to you and vice versa. As a NEST member, you gain access to the many NEST campuses, as there’s one in every large city. Each campus is hidden by a certain means to make sure normal humanoids don’t find it. These campuses can be in dense jungles, underground, under water, in the sky, nestles in swamps, pretty much anywhere. In addition, you also gain one magic item decided by your DM to help your complex. If you’re in PET SHOP, you’ve undergone rigorous training and hardship to not die, and you’ve surpassed the rest. In order to survive, you’ve started the practice of cannibalism. Your new food source is humanoids and bug humans, and you need a pound of humanoid flesh every day to feed yourself. If you don’t eat and you sense blood in any way, you become berserk and stop being berserk once you kill any humanoid. You regen 1d4 hit points for eating a small steak of humanoid or bug human flesh, while you regen 2d4 hit points for eating a medium steak and 2d6 for a large steak. For an entire medium sized humanoid, you completely regenerate health.

At 9th level, if you’re a giant long-legged katydid you triple your long and high jump distance. If you’re an armored bush cricket, you develop acidic blood. Now, whenever a creature attacks you they must succeed on a constitution saving throw with a dc equal to your armor class. On a fail, they take 2d6 acid damage, or half as much on a successful save. If you’re a mole cricket, you gain the ability to make basic facilities out of the dirt you dig through, such as doors, windows, pressure plates, and wheels. These are all treated to be as sturdy as wood.

<!-Class Feature->

At 11th level, you gain all of the features of one other type of Orthoptera complex, not including the 14th level feature.

<!-Class Feature->

At 14th level, you unlock the ultimate defense mechanism of your complex. If you’re a giant long-legged katydid, you gain the ability to grow scythes on your heels, allowing you to deal 10d6 slashing damage if you attack a creature while falling on them once a day as the scythe grows great lengths to slice through them. If you’re an armored bush cricket, your acidic blood blinds. If someone attacks you and is sprayed by your acid, they must roll a dc 10+your constitution modifier constitution saving throw. On a fail, they become blinded for a minute, and they can reroll the saving throw as an action. If you’re a mole cricket, you can now tunnel through any metal or stone (but your speed is reduced to 15), and your built machines are as sturdy as stone.
