Lacewing Playtest (PDF Included)
🕑 Added 2023-08-01 22:26:53 +0000 UTCHello! Kimmi needs a little bit longer to finish up the spider girls so to hold you over I figured I can show you the other set of Monster Girls in the works.
First of all, giving a bit of an introducing the artist who (if everything works out well) will become another lead artist for the Monster Girls: Meet Nighto/ Nighthead/ Yorutama. I mainly remember him as Nighthead from ye olden Deviantart days.
You can find a comprehensive archive of his artwork here [Save For Work Link] and has a NSFW Art Account under the lable Yorutama (search at your own accord).
Let's get to the playtest, shall we? The previous Arachne playtest gave me very fruitful results, and I am already excited to hear your feedback. Warning, this may be a bit of a messy playtest, as I am throwing a few design ideas at the wall and see what sticks!

You can use this bonus action an amount of times equal to your proficiency modifier before you have to finish a Long Rest to use it again.
Graceful. You are proficient in Acrobatics or Performance.
Epila
Moth Dust. As an action, you can flap your wings to release sedative dust in a 15 ft. cone. Each creature in the area must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or become poisoned until the end of your next turn. A poisoned creature can’t use its reaction. The DC is equal to 8 + your Constitution or Charisma modifier + your proficiency bonus. You can use this action an amount of times equal to your proficiency modifier before you have to finish a Long Rest to use it again.
When you reach level 9, each creature in the area that fails its saving throw is poisoned for 1 minute and repeats the saving throw at the end of its turn, ending the effect on a success.

The creature must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 2d6 poison damage on a failed save and half as much on a successful one. The DC is equal to 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. Once you inject a creature with your poison, you can’t do so until you finish a Long Rest.
The damage of your sting increases as you gain levels, dealing 3d6 poison damage when you reach 5th level, and 4d6 poison damage when you reach 9th level (1d6 poison damage equals your proficiency bonus).

Until the end of your turn, your next attack roll against the target creature has advantage.
