Homebrew Ashenborn Species Details
The title of Ashenborn can only be given to those born from Yuineno, The Ashen Heart, one of the many demons that reside in The Abyss, and one of the few to have ever mothered children with mortals. The Ashenborn take after their mother in the sense that their true form is simply that of a whirlwind of ash, surrounding a black flame. And much like their mother, all Ashenborn can use their mastery over ash to shape their forms, often appearing as a regular humanoid, keeping their fiery core hidden from the outside world.
However, there are a few telltale signs that someone is an Ashenborn. Their extremities may have small cracks or be rough in texture. They have no heartbeat to speak of. Their eyes may shift in color as time passes. They may hover slightly off the ground. They may leave a slight trail of dust wherever they go. If one is discovered, they may be shunned or attacked for being demonspawn, but they never go without a home for long. You can't remember a face that keeps changing...
Ashenborn Traits
A body made of ash has quite the versatility. It's up to you how you use your abilities.Body of Ash
You can use your mastery over your body to transform into anyone or anything you have seen before. Since this is a physical transformation and not a simple illusion, others will have disadvantage on rolls when decerning whether or not you are disguised, with a DC of 12+ your Charisma modifier.
While transformed into an inanimate object, your movement speed is reduced to 10 feet. Others will have to succeed on an investigation check equal to 10+ your Charisma modifier. However, if you move in the line of sight of anyone, that person will have advantage on their investigation roll, unless the object you have transformed into can easily move on its own. (DM's discretion.)
This transformation does not have to be full-body. You could extend a limb, or transform it into a weapon, (1d6 slashing, piercing, or bludgeoning.)
However, you are limited as to how you can control your body. You cannot exceed a 10 foot sphere around you, and you cannot become smaller than 2 inches in any direction.
You can also don and doff armor instantly.
Ashenblood
Your biology does not allow you to be poisoned easily, and the ash you are made of grants you a resistance to fire.
Ability Score Increase
You gain a +2 to Charisma up to a maximum of 20, and a +1 in two other stats of your choice.
Adaptability
You can choose a proficiency in a skill, and one feat.
Darkvision
Your demonic heritage grants you the power to see near perfectly in low light conditions. You can see in dim light within 120 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Speed
You have a base walking speed of 30 feet.
Flight
You can sprout wings of ash to fly with a speed of 40feet. However, this ability is not usable while wearing medium or heavy armor, or while overencumbered.
Languages
You can speak, read, and write Common, Abyssal, Infernal, and one more language of your choice.
