Homebrew Belial Species Details

Descended from a breed of dragon that no longer roams the lands, the Beial, possess a few unique traits not usually seen in their scaled cousins. Their soft furred bodies give them an appearance of something more mammalian than reptilian.

Fuzzy Collectors and Tinkerers

Belial very much like the dragons they descended from collect a hoard of various items and trinkets they like. Their scales aren't entirely gone but rather beneath the developed fluff of their fur. Belial come in a few natural colors accented with vibrant colors hat usually contrast. They can grow rather large, often standing close to 6½ feet tall and weighing 300 pounds or more. Their hands and feet are strong, retractable claws allow for an added bit of stealth and finesse.

Most Belial are typically master craftsmen having a natural curiosity and love to create. Possessing a love for crafting these beings can on occasion be found poking around forges where they learn or better their crafts. Belial can often be found accompanying Dwarves and Gnomes.

Family Ties

Nothing is more important to a Belial than their family. Families are. Each dragonborn’s conduct reflects on the honor of his or her clan, and bringing dishonor to the clan can result in expulsion and exile. Each dragonborn knows his or her station and duties within the clan, and honor demands maintaining the bounds of that position.

A continual drive for self-improvement reflects the self-sufficiency of the race as a whole. Dragonborn value skill and excellence in all endeavors. They hate to fail, and they push themselves to extreme efforts before they give up on something. A dragonborn holds mastery of a particular skill as a lifetime goal. Members of other races who share the same commitment find it easy to earn the respect of a dragonborn.

Though all dragonborn strive to be self-sufficient,  they recognize that help is sometimes needed in difficult situations. But the best source for such help is the clan, and when a clan needs help, it turns to another dragonborn clan before seeking aid from other races—or even from the gods.

The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. A creature takes 2d6 damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. The damage increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 16th level. After you use your breath weapon, you can’t use it again until you complete a short or long rest.
