Homebrew Daemones Amoris Species Details
Daemones Amoris are a fascinating and complex race of beings, possessing incredible physical prowess and a deep connection to the power of love. They stand tall and proud, with lean, muscular bodies that are perfectly designed for combat and agility. Their skin is smooth and pale, often possessing a faint, otherworldly glow that speaks to their supernatural power.
But it is their eyes that truly set them apart from other races. They are deep and intense, shimmering with the raw energy of passion and desire. To look into the eyes of a Daemones Amoris is to feel a rush of emotions, a sense of connection and longing that can be overwhelming to those who are unprepared.
As beings of love, Daemones Amoris are driven by a powerful desire to connect with others, to form deep and lasting bonds of affection and devotion. They are fiercely loyal to those they care about, and will go to great lengths to protect and defend them. But this same passion can also make them volatile and unpredictable, especially when they feel threatened or betrayed.
Despite their incredible power, Daemones Amoris are often plagued by a sense of emptiness and longing. Their curse prevents them from fully experiencing the joy of true love, leaving them with a constant sense of yearning that can be difficult to bear.

Within their society, Daemones Amoris are organized into strict hierarchies based on their mastery of love and their connection to the Commandments. Those who show exceptional skill and power are often elevated to positions of leadership, while those who fail to live up to their potential may be ostracized or cast out entirely. Despite this, there is a strong sense of camaraderie and mutual support within the Daemones Amoris community, as they understand the challenges and struggles that come with their unique gifts and curses.
Overall, Daemones Amoris are a fascinating and complex race, possessing incredible physical and emotional power that sets them apart from all others.

Full Counter
Once per short rest, you can use your Full Counter ability to reflect any physical attack back at the attacker with twice the original power. This ability can only be used against physical attacks that are targeted directly at you. In order to use this ability, you must first make an attack roll against the attacker with advantage. If your attack roll is higher than the attacker's, you successfully counter their attack, reflecting it back at them with twice the original power.
Commandment of Love
Anyone who harbors hatred, grudges, or ill-will towards you within 30 feet of you immediately suffers intense physical pain, taking 1d6 psychic damage per point of hatred they feel towards you. The damage increases by 1d6 for every 1 points of hatred beyond the first.
Creatures can accumulate points of hatred towards you by intentionally harming you or those you care about, by thwarting your plans, or by generally opposing your goals and desires. The DM determines how many points of hatred a creature accumulates in any given situation, based on their actions and motivations.
Once a creature has accumulated any amount of points of hatred towards you, they immediately suffer the effects of the Commandment, without any chance to resist. The affected creature suffers intense pain for 1 minute or until they take any action that isn't explicitly focused on attacking or harming you.
Once the pain has ended, you gain an advantage on your next attack roll against the affected creature.
You are immune to the effects of your own Commandment. You cannot benefit from the effects of any spell or effect that provides immunity to the effects of Charm or other mind-affecting abilities, as your Commandment works on a deeper, more emotional level.
The drawback of your Commandment is that you cannot feel or experience love in return. You may still form bonds and attachments to others, but they are always tinged with a sense of emptiness and longing.

- Creatures within 30 feet who harbour hatred, grudges, or ill-will towards you suffer 1d6 psychic damage per point of hatred they feel towards you.
