Homebrew Darkbladian Fallen One Species Details

Fallen Ones have run afoul of ancient magic, curses, or are the descendants of such people. They transform into a being with undead-like powers.

Darkbladian Fallen One Traits

Your semblance of undeath grants you several abilities.

Ability Score Increase

Your Constitution increases by 3 and your Intelligence and Dexterity each decrease by 1.

Age

In the case of the disease affecting already mature humanoids, Fallen One’s ages vary. On average most have about a 150-year life span (this is also true for born fallen ones), but ones with orc, half-orc, and human background live shorter while elf, dwarf, and gnome affectees may live a bit longer.

Size

Fallen ones originate from multiple species and their heights vary as much as any other race. Your size is Medium or Small (picked when you choose this race).

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet (unless you have the leg drawback).

Darkvision

Thanks to your undead-like physiology, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 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.

Undead Fortitude

If damage reduces you to 0 hit points, you can make a Constitution saving throw with a DC of 5 + the half damage taken, to a maximum of 25, unless the damage is radiant or from a critical hit. On a success, you drop to 1 hit point instead and can use your reaction to make a melee attack against the nearest hostile creature. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus every long rest.

Deathly Immunity

You gain resistance to necrotic damage and have advantage on saving throws against necromancy spells.

Disease Drawbacks

The disease mainly affects only one part of you. Choose one of the following options.

  • Leg Drawback. Your base walking speed is 20 ft.
  • Arms Drawback. You have disadvantage on Strength saving throws and checks using your arms.
  • Head Drawback. You have disadvantage on all Intelligence based skill checks and Perception checks.

Skill Proficiency

You are proficient in the Arcana skill. Additionally, if you chose the Head Drawback, then you do not have disadvantage on Arcana checks.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common and one language of your choice.
