Hadozee 5e
Hadozee are simian humanoids with winglike flaps of skin that stretch between their arms and legs, allowing them to glide through the air. They are natural sailors and explorers, having taken to the stars aboard spelljamming ships. Hadozee are gregarious and brave, always ready for the next adventure. Their fur ranges from brown to black, and they have remarkable agility.

Racial Traits
| Trait | Description |
|---|---|
| Dexterous Feet | As a bonus action, you can use your feet to manipulate an object, open or close a door or container, or pick up or set down a Tiny object. |
| Glide | If you are not <a href="/rules/conditions/incapacitated-condition-5e/">incapacitated</a> or wearing heavy armor, you can extend your skin membranes to glide. When you do so, you can perform the following aerial movements: you can move 5 feet horizontally for every 1 foot you descend in the air, at no movement cost to you; and when you would take damage from a fall, you can use your reaction to reduce the fall damage you take by an amount equal to your proficiency bonus times 10. |
| Hadozee Resilience | The magic that runs in your veins heightens your natural defenses. When you take damage, you can use your reaction to roll a d6. Add your proficiency bonus to the number rolled, and reduce the damage you take by an amount equal to that total. You can use this trait a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. |
