Homebrew Basalisk (TOH) Species Details

Usually thought to be evil, the basilisk is a shape shifting species from the boiling isles. Made extinct long ago, the basilisk was recently revived by a insane emperor who wanted to use them and their magic draining abilities to his own personal gain.

Shape change, you keep all of your normal stats when you change except for movement which you keep from the thing you copied it from. If the movement is above 100 halve it, and above 200 divid it by four

To use shape change you can either

        A. Take a long rest which gives you 12 hours of the ability, but with every spell you cast it is reduced by 2 hours

        B. Drain the magic from a magic user you see within a 10 ft area. This gives you 1 hour for every 10 seconds or 1 round that you do it. This removes 1 1st-4th level spell slot (determined through a d4) from your target every 30 seconds. DC 6 + con to escape from this grasp

Magic siphon

Warning: This spell you gain is limited to only powering shape change unless you become one of the types of magic users who can learn it.

You can drain the magic of any magic user or any items that have a spell attached to it. Doing so does not remove that magic in it’s entirety, just the ability to cast it less. For every round or every 10 seconds it removes 1 charge/spell slot.

(This gives you 1 hour for every 18 seconds that you do it. This removes 1 random spell slot from your target every round. DC 10 + con)

Squishy

As you are a kind of snake without tough scales you don’t have very much protection meaning that any attack is more likely to hit you, including certain elements

Bad blood

Your species is very widely known not to be trusted, meaning that when your in your base form people won't trust you, giving you disadvantage on all persuasion roles when in your base form, but also giving you advantage on intimidation roles. Thus debuff is removed when in other forms.

Base form boost

You get increases to a lot of stats as well as a few interaction advantages

ALL OF THESE ARE ONLY WHILE IN BASE FORM
