eww thats tacky
no. we dont have a central leader. we are built on massive indiscriminate death, and leaders are a shitty idea for that
ya, that would make sense, like the game swarm simulator on mobile
I think I understand, each group has it’s own hive mind connection.
So it’s kind of like the ideal democracy, if there were ant people and no president.

Power: 7
Intelligence: -2
Agility: 4
Defensive: 8
Charismatic: 0
Mysticism: -2
Advantages:
Nullify armor skin - Dense and armored skin make them resist from most any attacks, even magic - +2 Defensive vs weapons, can’t use or effect by magic normally.
Animalistic Instincts - any pure intelligent or Mystic vote/act are connected with power (if pure intelligence vote it -2 mix power its 7, its a average of both instead)
Adaptive brain - by seeing other civics tech/ideas, they have +4 to replica that and counter that
Disadvantages:
Parasitism - Can’t breed normally, need to consume other organic material in order reproduce - 10% less Pop grow overall, Pop grow effect by food availability (they can use corpses as meaning of Pop grow)
Nam nature - They can’t have leaders and happiness.
Culture
they look like an hybrid of gorilla and enderman, they are extrimey adaptive to the most hard condition by be extremely resilient and alien like. In the consumption of other creatures, they get their power to survive, and also the ability to understand from observation helps them as well.
But unlike most things, in their nature, they behave a bit like sheep, so it is necessary for them to survive in a hard place like the high mountains. And the ability to reproduce according to the amount of food helps, but as a sufficiently elegant creature and the need for a large amount of people, makes it a disadvantage that needs as much population as possible if they depend on the amount of food available.
They are mostly passive, but if attacked, they are particularly stubborn and there is almost no way to stop them being their resilient, determined and tough nature.

Culture
The Xhilic are a hive minded Any like race of insectoid hominids. The workers are mass produced, Intensely loyal, and inventive (though not very outside the box) citizens. The drones reach sexual maturity within a week and either die mating or from willful unsafety days after. The queen is a living incubator, and produces massive numbers of young, being best at insane population growth under 10,000 and slower growth after that. There may only be one queen per settlement, though if growth is needed a city can be divided. All in all, they are genius ants with suicidal seggs machines.

Roll: 9 (7 + 2)
Result: Found a tribe of humanoids. Related to cave goblins? Population estimate: 150

Population: 377
Leader: Pteropus, a large Chiropteran
Race
Races: Chiropterans, Cavern Giants, Lavawalkers, Shroomfolk, Kongs, Wraiths, Glowpers, Shades, Armex, Salalos, Silkspinners, Stygians.
Average stats:
Power: 2
Intelligence: 4
Agility: 5
Defense: 2
Charisma: 1
Mysticism: 1
Advantages:
Advantage: Unit Power - depending on what kind of race I use, I will get different boosts. Boosts will be specified in my vote.
Chiropterans - Silent flight, flight, echolocation, natural wing armor.
Lavawalkers - Immune to fire and earth based damage
Cavern Giants - Melee tool boost to effectiveness
Silkspinners - Wallcrawling, silk and acid shooting
Shroomfolk - Hypnotizing/stunning glow control (Psychedelic), glow
Shades - Blend in with shadows, Night vision, Insane speed to the point where it almost seems like teleportation.
Stygians - Feather shooting, divine aura (boost to mysticism and charisma), Flight
Salalos - Water breathing, increased swim speed
Wraiths - Flight, Eldritch Aura (lowers opponents agility, power, intel, and defense, or some of these at least), Poison tentacles, look like flying demon squid
Armex - Immune to melee damage when stationary, exceptional diggers.

Kongs - knuckle walkers (on two larger arms), climbing adept, stat boost when riled up.
Disadvantages:
Disadvantage 1: Slow to reproduce. The population is made up of much fewer of each species than others. For example, if I had 100 total pop, each race would only have 8 representatives, and I then could choose four races to have one extra member.
Disadvantage 2: Light sensitivity. Even though some of their members glow, it is not comparable to bright lights such as the sun. As such, stats are lowered during the daytime.
Culture
For many years, deep below the surface a civilization has been working, a collaboration of species all descended from one. When the Cavern Giants descended into the depths so long ago, they never returned, and diversified in the depths deep below.
They had an 8 foot frame, two long legs and four lanky arms, with excellent hearing and vision, and made a great civilization in Fargrim, their capital, ruled by their leader Horror the Horror, with warriors and hunters valued foremost, then farmers and forgers, then architects and then everyone else.
When they came of age, individuals fought through duel by duel the strongest established warriors, and if they made it through they were excepted into the Kings personal guard of they survived drinking from a boiling geyser, seen as being able to resist the influence of the Devil of the Depths, who after they somehow failed their Sky god, an honorable and true warrior, they were sent to guard against from the return of them and their creatures.
New kings were selected via a tournament with the old king, near their death, selecting one of the competitors, not necessarily the winner, as the king was not allowed to have children or a family so that they had no worldly attachments.
Over millions of years, the cavern giants diversified into a handful of drastically different species. Some stayed as Cavern Giants, while others adapted one pair of their arms into wings, becoming the Chiropterans as they grew scales and fur, along with their tails. Other than the Chiropterans, the Lavawalkers developed, 50 foot tall beasts that use their heavily heat resistant skin and a thick magma covering to forge away in the depths of the world. Alongside them developed three more races, the Shroomfolk, who farmed chemosynthetic mushrooms and absorbed proteins that makes them glow a bright, shining blue, and Silkspinners, who can shoot acid and sticky threads, using tiny hairs to stick to the walls and ceilings like geckos. Then there are Shades, who have glowing purple eyes, black skin that lets them blend perfectly into the shadows, and insane speed, to the point where it seems like teleportation, as well as a giant jaw like an enderman and a huge, almost manipulatory tongue. Glowpers are quadrupedal creatures with a golden glow, very fast with great endurance, and have two small firearms used for item manipulation. Then, the Wraiths, who look more like demon squids then people, who have adapted their four arms to have membranous webbing between them like the vampire squid, with their fingers made into long, stinging, manipulatory tentacles, and their legs fused with similar toes as to their fingers. Their head is now extended on a long neck, ending in a giant jaw with sharp teeth and an elongated, beak like face. Kongs are quite similar to Cavern Giants, but with two limbs bulked up into gorilla like forearms for knucklewalking, and are adept at climbing. Salalos can breath underwater and have adapted to live in underground lakes. Then the Stygians, who have wings and feather like scale derivations that glow gold and silver when hit with light, and they can shoot these feathers, which are sharp as daggers. Finally, the Armex, who have tough, scale like, spiny skin and large foreclaws for digging.
After all of these years, a group of these has been sent off by the civilization of Ferloth-de to seek the surface, to find their ancient brethren and their sky god, to see if the ancient peoples left behind on the surface are still around. Wished a warriors journey by the rest of their civilization, they depart alone, clad with supplies and the knowledge carried by their civilization, as their brethren once again turn back to their ancient vigil, guarding the depths of the world from the one below.

My thoughts
This round was not as painful the last one (Used previous round to make this one)
Rolling a natural 1 means buffs don’t work. Otherwise your fine.
I’m bad at writing.

lol, that boat tho

Aww, didn’t find any animals and/or plants. Nor did any of the ones I suggested pop up. Anyway;
In my mysticism section, it says that I have the rocks of mine. Does that mean I actively have them to use currently?
Anyway, Vote: Send three parties out once again
Party One - 3 Stygians, 2 cavern Giants, A shade; go to goblin civilization, approach with caution. See if I can form an alliance. Use stygians charisma, after shade uses super speed to scout the camp. Cavern giants carry stone swords and daggers for if needed.
Party Two - 2 Glowpers, 2 Chiropterans, 2 Lavawalkers; Do a first round action again, these individuals selected for terrain travel abilities. Glow pets for speed, Chiropterans for flight, Lavawalkers because they are 50 feet tall and got long legs.
Party Three - 4 Salalos, 2 Wraiths; Explore the ocean for possible food sources/Creatures to control. Using salalos for water benefits and Wraiths because of flight.
Tell me if this all needs to be one action, the idea behind multiple was that each individually has a lower chance of succeeding than if they were each individual actions.
Edit: the way I think the roles would work is as so; taking account for buffs from unit power after these rolls, three die would be rolled. 1-5 really bad, 6-10 fairly bad, 11-15 fail, 16-17 succeed, 18-19 succeed with buff, 20 succeed with great buff.
oh my gosh oof. im ded.
Vote: use the flying rock-thing to find more food.
can i use this idea as my “leader?”
each queen has +1 to either food storage/production or construction in her colony, and when i form a formal party it gets +1 to something. my current queen has +1 to food storage/production.
this is why you make spread sheets kids
this was accounted for here I believe, where it says ‘no added buffs’
Replying to positive
so wheres my added buff, you just make exceptions for natural ones?
i still need him to at least list it if hes doing something wrong
in dnd thats how it works
