Homebrew Devil Species Details

A being of the hells, devils start at the bottom of a very deadly chain of power. from the lemure, raising up to the pit fiend, the devil is something that adapts and becomes more powerful in time. While starting very weak, their power grows as they raise through the ranks.

Hellborne

Devils are born in a variety of ways, but not through ordinary birth. They are either forged in the flames of Hell, given shape by a high ranking Demon or Devil, or they are ascended from their inferior variant, the Tiefling. There are many different ranks among the Devils and Demons, and high-ranking Devils often have traits which set them apart from the ordinary Demon. If a Devil is powerful they will awaken a special trait unlocked by reaching a certain threshold of power. Devils are larger than Tiefling but look awfully similair in looks, which can help them pose as an ordinary Tiefling even though their pride would normally not allow it. Their tails are often seen as and can be used as weapons.

Hell Bound

Devils often make their home in the nine hells, leaving only on special occasion, often to do with a soul. However, a devil might remain in the material plane among the mortals should circumstance force them to. Such as being bound to a contract of their own.
