[Cosmos] Ancestry - Tasalik (Patreon)

"Quite a fascinating species unlike anything I have ever seen. They bear four arms, which they use to great effect for climbing, though from what I have been told, it is difficult to coordinate all four."

This is one of two ancestry to be introduced in the Guide to the Cosmos compendium! I'm very excited to create these alien species and figure out good ways to incorporate non-humanoid biology without making them overpowered. I think the Tasalik works, by borrowing the loxodon trunk and applying it to the arms.

I can imagine a tasalik player carrying four hand crossbows, shoot two, then toss them and shoot the other two on their next turn. Or carry two shortswords and a halberd, and seamless switch between them across multiple turns as needed.
