Homebrew Firenewt Species Details
Firenewts are relatives of the lizardfolk, though they have become accustomed to hotter and often volcanic climates. Thus, they have adapted to better survive in these areas and have developed a limited ability to weaponize it within themselves.

Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC = 8 plus your Constitution modifier plus your Proficiency Bonus). On a failed save, the creature takes 1d10 Fire damage. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage. This damage increases by 1d10 when you reach levels 5 (2d10), 11 (3d10), and 17 (4d10).
You can use your Spit Fire a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
