Homebrew Cambion Species Details

History

A cambion, unlike a tiefling, is born directly from a human and a fiend or, more rarely, the offspring of an incubus and a succubus. The result of this union appears to be stillborn, not showing a sign of life through pulse or breath, though responsive to touch and, as legend tells, as heavy as a horse. This continues until the age of seven when they start to resemble their human parent more closely, although their often red skin, leathery wings and sinewy tails betray their otherworldly heritage.

Society

Cambions can often be found in positions of leadership throughout the realms but rarely with their own kin by their side. Their powerful bodies and endless ambition lead many of them to seek out power, particularly in the domination of weaker creatures of which there are many by comparison. Though rare and far between they can most frequently be found in places of fiendish worship or in areas having suffered a fiendish incursion where they have often been abandoned to fend for themselves in a world that doesn't want them. Yet, by their nature, they rise from roughest quarters of those places, where they often grow up to be commanders, lords, or rulers in some way shape or form.
