Having four arms is pretty great, but what if you were also telepathic and could change the color of your body in a way that somehow apparently obscures the clothes that you’re wearing? Well, that would make you a Thri-Kreen.
Thri-Kreen are four-armed bugs from space and/or the Mad Max-esque, post-apocalyptic, not-yet-in-5e world of Athas (Dark Sun). They have some really exciting mechanics, and they look like a ton of fun to play because, among other things, they make two-weapon fighting viable in a way that 5e simply hasn’t managed to do yet.
