Erebus Bloodline work in progress Traits

Write This Trait Introduction

Ability Score Increase

Your Dexterity score increases by 2, and your Constitution 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

Humans vary widely in height and build, from barely 5 feet to well over 6 feet tall. Regardless of your position in that range, your size is Medium.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 40 feet.

Darkvision

Blessed with a radiant soul, your vision can easily cut through darkness. 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.

Blood of The Ancients

You have Resistance to Radiant damage and Necrotic damage.

Soul of The Storm

You have Resistance to Lightning damage and Thunder damage.

Jackal and Hawk

Spirit of the desert. As a bonus action you may transform into the form of a jackal or a hawk. While in this form, you can falteringly understand the languages you know, but have access to none of your other features. You may revert to your humanoid form as a bonus action. If you fall to 0 hit points while in this form, turn back to your humanoid form and carry over any extra damage.

Cool Name

As a bonus action, you can assume your accursed transformation. This transformation lasts for 1 hour, until you die, or until you revert to your normal form as a bonus action. Transforming in this way takes a heavy toll on your physical form, each time you transform you take damage equal to your Proficiency Bonus times your Proficiency Bonus. (e.g. at level 1, you will take 2*2 = 4 damage, but at level 17 you will take 6*6 = 36 damage.) This damage cannot be reduced in any way.

While this effect is active and you aren’t wearing armor or wielding a Shield, you gain the following benefits:
Lycan Hide. You have Resistance to Bludgeoning, Piercing, and Slashing damage.
Bloodstained Hand. Whenever you roll damage for an Unarmed Strike, or an attack with a "Khopesh" (Scimitar), you can roll one additional damage die when determining the damage dealt. The damage type of this extra die is Lighting, Necrotic, or the attacks normal damage type.
Dread Blindness. You have advantage to save or end the Frightened on yourself.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common and Celestial.
