Homebrew Devil Blooded Elf Species Details

Devil Blooded Elves are the product of direct lineage from a devil, extending far back, or recent enough that one of your parents might even be a devil themselves. The presence of that lineage manifests typically in aesthetically pleasing features such as horns that are elegant like a diadem, or long and curved. Some present a tail, and a rare few are blessed with wings. Some are very unlucky and it manifests in ways that are horrifying, like hooves, or small, disfigured wings that never fully emerge, or the constant smell of sulfur. 

A fair number have solid black eyes and black bodily fluids, some take this a step further and have black organs as well, most noticeable in their tongue. 

Devil Blooded Elf Traits

Your devil blooded elf character has a variety of natural abilities, the result of thousands of years of elven refinement, with a dash of Devil blood somewhere in your line, perhaps even one of your parents.

Devil’s Gift

Your devil blood gives you access to the Eldritch Blast cantrip. At 3rd level, you gain access to the Darkness, and at 5th level, you gain Fireball

in the event you have these spells, you can instead cast them once per long rest without expending a spell slot

Resistance of the Nine Hells

The essence of the Nine Hells has diffused in your blood, granting you resistance to fire and cold damage.

Ability Score Increase

Your Dexterity score increases by 2.

Age

Although elves reach physical maturity at about the same age as humans, the elven understanding of adulthood goes beyond physical growth to encompass worldly experience. An elf typically claims adulthood and an adult name around the age of 100 and can live to be 750 years old.

Size

Elves range from under 5 to over 6 feet tall and have slender builds. Your size is Medium.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Devil’s Gaze

Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, 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.

Silver Tongue and Piercing Eyes

You have proficiency in the Perception skill. Your Devil blood gives you additional proficiency in, Persuasion, and Deception

Fey Ancestry

You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.

Trance

Elves don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common and Elvish. Elvish is fluid, with subtle intonations and intricate grammar. Elven literature is rich and varied, and their songs and poems are famous among other races. Many bards learn their language so they can add Elvish ballads to their repertoires.
