I just meant that the drug descriptions could be shortened (the length of descriptions of Ideal and Bonds as an example) for a more official version of the class, but that doesn't make sense really unless you already have the drugs fully described somewhere else that you could reference. So yeah, not a great idea, but just a thought I had. Yeah, I like the thought of the tough skin being harder to penetrate in terms of diseases, and maybe poisons. For some reason I think there is a better way to represent it, but I can't think of it at all, haha. I could just be crazy though!
Regardless of everything else these are all awesome, and I loved reading them and loved making one even more!

Well my first thought is that thicker skin would count as natural armor. However, with how balancing works in 5E I'm hesitant to say that. I feel similarly about a damage reduction to a specific damage type. However, what I do wonder is if having thicker skin would give them constitution saving throw proficiency. Just some thoughts.

Love the Kree block Joatmoniac. In my opinion the way they handled Ronan's story and character is the only bad thing about Guardians of The Galaxy. by that I mean he didnt get enough attention and now he is dead. Still crossing my fingers that he isnt dead...

Still crossing my fingers that he isnt dead... Definitely. I was really disappointed when he died. When I first saw Ronan I was literally jumping out of my seat. I thought it meant a step closer to a Captain Marvel flick. Then they had to go and kill him...

Yeah, I felt the same way. I was pretty into Guardians before the movie. Thanks for liking the race, was super fun to look up all of the information for it.

My only remaining hope is that Ronan isnt dead, but rather sent to the negative zone, and one day when they do a movie about Annihlus or the Annhilation wave we will get him back.

Here is the first race I ever created, so I have no idea how this turned out.
Ability score increase: Your Charisma score increases by two.
Age: You can retain a host .5x years longer than the lifespan of the host. For example, an elf has a life span of 800 years, you could retain that particular host for 1200 years. Your symbiote can live for several thousand years. Because of this you most likely prefer Elf and longer living species for your hosts (though other factors can push you to other races).
Alignment: You always tend toward the evil alignment. A good Goa'uld happens once in a million centuries.
Size: Your size depends on your host. A host can grow about 2 or 1d4 (inches) + the maximum height of its species.
Speed: Because of how effortlessly you can push a host the maximum speed increases by 5 or 1d10 the speed of the host race.
Languages: You can speak the languages of your host as well as Alien Worm (which happens to be a variant of ancient Egyptian)
Host: Beginning a game, you can take any species for host, except for Tieflings and Genasi. Due to there infernal heritage, Goa'uld symbiotes cannot survive long in a Tiefling host. And because of their Geni parent, a Genasi has a brain that is far too wild (though it is possible for Goa'uld to find a way to enter Genasi mind one day). A Goa'uld instantly has the special abilities for the hosts race (note: A Goa'ulds ability score does not increase, unless that race has an ability score to strength or constitution). Also, Goa'ulds retain the memory of their host (so there would be background information on a host as well).
Masters of Deceit: Unless revealed, you get an advantage on bluff checks.
Flashing Eyes: When surprised, when attacked, or when intimidated, you must roll a constitution check. If it fails, then you are revealed as Goa'uld.
Revealed (Natural Evil): When revealed as a Goa'uld you have disadvantage on all positive charisma rolls (when trying to convince someone) and have advantage on all negative charisma rolls (when trying to intimidate or scare someone.

With the Infinity stories coming up in the next few years...I'm hoping so as well. Maybe we'll even get a real Galactus and not just some cosmic storm cloud. :/

Sadly we can't get a real Galactic under the Marvel Film umbrella because Fox still owns the Fantastic Four movie rights, dun dun duunn. I also don't hold out much of hope for that new movie. Almariankinght, I think that race looks solid. I don't even trying to build something that is a symbiote. The only thing I would adjust would be to change the height and speed boosts to flat numbers rather than multipliers. The speed I would do +5ft to base, and not sure about the height. Adding an additional die to the random height table might work, but that isn't that much less complicated, haha.
