Homebrew Fatedborn Species Details

The Fatedborn are rare souls woven from the very threads of fate itself. Born under strange omens – blood-red moons, singing winds, or silent storms – they carry an invisible tether to the great tapestry of existence. Their lives are shaped by forces beyond mortal understanding, and their presence often marks great change. Feared by the superstitious and revered by the wise, Fatedborn move through the world as living harbingers of inevitable transformation.

Their appearance is striking yet ethereal: silver-threaded hair, eyes that shimmer like starlight or deep pools of ink, and an aura that seems to tug subtly at the edges of reality. Fatedborn are often introspective, speaking in riddles, dreams, and visions, though some reject their destiny and seek to forge new threads entirely.

Fatedborn Traits

Creature Type: Humanoid
Size: Medium (about 4–7 feet tall)
Speed: 30 feet

As a Fatedborn, you have these special traits.

Fated Perception

You have Blindsight with a range of 10 feet.

Threads of Destiny

You know the True Strike cantrip. At 3rd level, you can cast Detect Evil and Good once without expending a spell slot. Starting at 5th level, you can also cast Augury once without expending a spell slot. You regain the ability to cast each spell after finishing a long rest.

Your spellcasting ability for these spells is Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma (choose when you select this species).

Twist of Fate

When a creature you can see within 30 feet makes an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can use your reaction to glimpse a future where their fortunes shift. You grant either advantage or disadvantage (your choice) on that roll.

You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus per long rest.

Woven Resilience

You have resistance to psychic damage. In addition, you have advantage on saving throws against the frightened condition.
