Your orangutan character has a variety of abilities that come with the ginger fur and being a mighty orangutan.
- Ability Score Increase: Your Dexterity score increases by 2, and your Wisdom score increases by 1.
- Age: While no one is quite sure how long an awakened animal (of any species) lives for, orangutans typically reach adulthood around 7 years old and live to be about 30 or 45 years, though some live much longer.
- Alignment: Happy to coexist with everyone but other orangutans, it is unlikely for an orangutan to be concerned with law and chaos, though their changeable nature is likely to make them slightly more chaotic than most. It has yet to be seen if this holds true for their awakened members.
- Size: Orangutans tend to average around 5 feet in height, though they rarely stand completely upright, preferring to slouch. Their arms are longer, typically closer to a 7-foot span. Your size is Medium.
- Speed: You have a walking speed of 30 feet.
- Expert Climbers: With their thumbed feet, orangutans are well adapted to climbing. You gain a climbing speed equal to your walking speed.
- Long-Limbed: Your arms can reach up to a seven-foot span. You treat all melee weapons as having an additional 5 ft. of reach.
- Knuckle Walk: You have advantage on any saving throw against being knocked prone or falling. Standing up from prone costs 5 ft. of movement instead of half.
- Surprisingly Sneaky: Despite their size, orangutans have an unnerving ability to appear behind those who underestimate them. You gain proficiency with the Stealth skill.
- Languages: You can speak, read, and write Common and speak Sign Language and Apeish—a language that largely consists of howls, shouts, and snarls.
