Dzö Traits

Dzö all share similar traits.

Alignment

Dzö are hot-headed, typically edging towards a chaotic alignment.

Size

Dzö are the same size as humans, sharing a similar height and weight. Your size is medium.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Ability Score Increase

Your Intelligence score increases by 1, and one other ability score of your choice increases by 2.

Age

Like a flame, dzö grow fast but can burn out quickly. They mature around 5 and live to be about 60 years old.

Burning Skull

Dzö’s heads are balls of bright fire, which they can control to burn what they desire. As an action, you can lean your head into or headbutt a creature or object of your choice to set it on fire. On a hit, the creature or object must take 2d4 fire damage, or half as much on a failed save. You can use this trait a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. You also know the Produce Flame cantrip, and cast it with your head.

Fire Heritage

You have resistance to fire damage.

Darkvision

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. Your ties to the Elemental Plane of Fire make your darkvision unusual: everything you see in darkness is in a shade of red.

Languages

You can speak Common and Ignan, a language spoken by fire elementals composed of sharp clicks and hisses.
