Homebrew Elemental Blooded Tieflings Species Details

Elemental-Blood Tieflings are a unique tiefling variant race that trace their lineage to the four elemental serpents that encircle the world. As a result, they possess a small range of powers that are closely linked to the elements of the 4 serpents: Fotiá (fire serpent), Anemos (wind serpent), Gi (earth serpent), Nero (water serpent).

These Tieflings are known for their striking physical features, often including scales or other serpentine features that are accented with the element from which they have ancestry. They possess a natural resistance to the element of their ancestry and excellent dark vision, like other Tieflings. Rather than having an Infernal Legacy, Tieflings of elemental blood have a slight connection to nature, which they relate to the serpent of their ancestry. This connection to the elements may include abilities such as creating small flames or gusts of wind, shaping earth or water, or manipulating energy in other ways.

Since the legend of the 4 snakes does not have as many followers as other religions, many people see these Tieflings as more than the others, but their serpentine features make them believe that they are more dangerous than the rest and are trying to deceive the other races, for this reason the Tieflings of elemental blood live in the north, near the mountains inhabited by the Semi-Oni since they also have that connection with nature and are one of the few tribes that do not reject them.
