Homebrew Flame-Lin Species Details
The Flame-Lin is a race first created by the binding of fire and a spirit, be it humanoid or fey. They share many characteristics of their more ferocious relatives, the fire elementals. They are made of pure fire and burn anything flammable they touch. Their physical features end at their colour - most are blazing oranges or reds. Their shape and heat changes unwillingly, depending on their emotions and the weather.
Most people shun or out right reject them from society, seeing them as an uncontrollable force that will cause harm everywhere they go. However, some people keep them as a needs of survival or even kindness.
Flame-Lin Traits
Flame-Lins live and die by the flame, but show some humanity, something their relatives can't do.Ability Score Increase
Flame-Lins, although look weak, are strong-willed and hardy. It's only through their warm body that many civilizations manage to survive through the harsh winters. Increase Constitution by 2, and any other ability by 1.
Age
Flame-Lins have been around for a long time, so no one knows if they have a life span. Age is ambiguous, so choose to your DM's digression.
Size
Flame-Lins don't have a set size, but are commonly medium or small.
Speed
Flame-Lins have a speed of 30ft. This may be because of their adaptations to coincide with humanoid creatures.
Flame Retardant
Being made of fire themselves, Flame-Lins are immune to all types of fire damage.
Burning Vision
Fire is all the Flame-Lins see. They can only see in shades of orange and red, and have 60ft of darkvision.
Illuminate
Flame-Lins burn bright, lighting up an area within 10ft of them. However, this leaves them very visible to enemies, granting them disadvantage on all stealth rolls, unless a magic item or spell says otherwise.
Infernal Body
The Flame-Lins' bodies burn. This provides an extra 1d6 fire damage to all melee attacks made by them. However, they can't wield or equip anything that isn't immune to fire as a result of magical or nonmagical methods.
Combustion
When highly flammable liquids or gases, such as alcohol or methane, meet the "skin" of a Flame-Lin, it burns very quickly and combusts.
Flame-Lin Telepathy
Without the assistance of magic, Flame-Lins can't speak any non-flame-lin languages they may know. Instead they use telepathy to convey their thoughts. Flame-Lins have the magical ability to send thoughts mentally to any willing creature within 120ft. The creature doesn't have to share languages, but it must be able to speak at least one language. The telepathic link breaks if both the Flame-Lin and the creature move 120ft apart, if either one is incapacitated, or if either one breaks the link (no action required).
Languages
Flame-Lins can "speak", read and write Common and one other language that both the player and the DM deem appropriate for the character.
