Homebrew Viashino Species Details

Although lizard-like, most viashino lack scales. They have normal skin, ranging from a deep red to a lighter shade of green. While some have more crocodile-like features, others appear more humanoid, with a flatter face, as opposed to a long snout. Either way, they have a maw filled with sharp teeth and are difficult to disciple if they want to be.

Your Dexterity, Constitution, and Charisma scores each increase by 1.

Darkvision

Due to your draconic ancestry, 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.

Innate Spellcasting

Many viashino dabble in the pyromantic arts. You can cast Produce Flame at will. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for it.

Bite

Your maw, filled with needle-like teeth, is natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with it, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

Your base walking speed is 35 feet.

Viashino Training

You gain proficiency with one of the following skills: Acrobatics, Athletics, Intimidation, and Stealth.

Age

Viashino reach maturity at about age 14 and rarely live longer 16 years, closer to 10. They decide their gender at around 13.

Alignment

Most viashino lean chaos, and will stay neutral and out of others' way. Sometimes, however, a viashino will be consumed by the chaos and become evil, or a steadfast and loyal one might lean more towards a lawful alignment.
