As a living conduit of hellfire, you can manipulate flames, wield devastating psychic abilities, and unleash your full fury in a terrifying ghostly form.

Your infernal heritage manifests in unique and sometimes terrifying ways. The flames of your bloodline, the marks of your transformation, and the ways your power erupts all vary between Hellborn. Whether it’s the shape of your ghost rider form, the color of your hellfire, or the appearance of your cursed chain, these manifestations are intensely personal.
You can roll on the Hellborn Manifestations table to determine how your infernal powers uniquely present themselves, or you can choose the option that best fits your character’s style.

Suggested Characteristics
Hellborn Nephilim carry the weight of their infernal lineage in every step they take. Some embrace their fiery birthright with pride, while others struggle against the monstrous powers within. The constant pull between judgment and fury shapes their personalities, ideals, and the way they interact with the world. Whether you are a wrathful enforcer or a reluctant wielder of hell’s fire, your infernal nature cannot be hidden.
Contacts
none
Not all Hellborn Nephilim carry the same infernal burden. Some are destined to walk the path of the Infernal Rider, beings whose connection to hellfire manifests as unstoppable speed, flaming mounts, or spectral vehicles that carry them across the battlefield like a blazing storm.
As an Infernal Rider, your ghost rider form is more than just a transformation—it’s a manifestation of motion and destruction. You might ride a flaming spectral steed, a blazing hell-forged motorcycle, or a chariot pulled by skeletal beasts. Your chain crackles with speed and power, and you can summon your infernal ride at will.
This variant emphasizes mobility, momentum, and raw destructive force.
🔥 Variant Feature Name:
Infernal Legacy
📜 Variant Feature Description:
Your infernal bloodline has manifested in a unique way, granting you an alternative connection to your hellish ancestry. Instead of the standard Hell’s Arsenal feature, you can choose this variant to channel your power through raw hellfire and psychic control.
Infernal Legacy Feature:
You can cast the Hellish Rebuke spell at will, without expending a spell slot. When you cast Hellish Rebuke this way, it deals fire and psychic damage simultaneously (half of each).
Additionally, you can use your pyrokinesis to ignite small objects and create minor, harmless flames at will, similar to the Prestidigitation cantrip, but your flames are always uniquely colored (you choose the color when you create your character).
This feature represents a more psychic and flame-focused expression of your hellish power rather than your arsenal of physical weapons.
