Homebrew Leviakin Species Details

The tall figure in full plate strode towards the group of orcs without a hint of fear. Pulling a longsword from a sheath at its side with ease the figure readied itself for battle, using its shield the figure blocked the orcs greataxe and cut it down the middle with its sword, killing it instantly, with a smile the Leviakin warrior opened his maw and shot forth the lighting given to his race from the creatures of the deep known as leviathans. — Talion Stark 

As their name suggests, Leviakin are descendants of the mighty leviathan, a powerful creature of the deep. Similar to the Dragonborn in this, they carry on traits of the mighty creatures they come from, combined with the body shape of the humanoids.

Description

Leviakin look very much like leviathans standing erect in humanoid form, complete with scales, horns and a long tail. The first Leviakin were said to have much shorter limbs and much longer tails, but after generations of learning to live on land as well as in the water, their bodies changed to fit that fact, much longer arms and legs for walking and using tools, with shortened tails as to be able to walk as well as swim. Their scales are usually a mixture of blues, greens, greys and blacks with eyes usually yellow, gold, or orange and occasionally red. They are tall and strongly built, often standing close to 6½ feet tall and can get up to 8 feet tall at the most, weighing around 300 pounds or more. Their hands and feet are strong, talonlike claws with four fingers and a thumb on each hand.

Self-Sufficient Individuals

Though Leviakin are known to start families and make big clans similar to the Dragonborn, Leviakin are raised to remember that they as individuals are important too, and to protect ones personal honor out of respect for oneself, and not just their families. This being the reason Leviakin are known to leave their villages as young adults to start their lives and to adventure and/or make their fortune as Individuals, whether they return home to stay permanently is a choice they make for themselves.

Leviakin Traits

Your heritage as the descendant of the leviathan monsters manifests in a variety of traits you share with other Leviakin.

Natural Intimidation

Due to your inherently fierce features, you get advantage on Intimidation rolls. Sometimes all it takes is a stern look from your reptilian eyes to get people to either leave you alone, do as you say, or simply to fear your power, and sometimes it take a savage hissing growl that Leviakin can naturally use as a sign of anger, fear, annoyance, or any combination of the three.

Ability Score Increase

As a Leviakin you gain a +2 to Constitution. And due to their versatility as a race, you get a +1 to any Ability Score of your choice. Being a very resilient race they are naturally more able to fight off disease or poison, and being very varied means that some Leviakin are just more skilled in some areas than others. If given the chance a Leviakin could become a powerful fighter, or a skilled spellcaster.

Amphibious Habits

As the descendant of a marine creature, Leviakin have a natural adaptation that allows them to breathe water as much as air, and in addition has darkvision due to the depths of the ocean being dark. This trait has allowed many groups of Leviakin to live under the waters of either deep lake or vast ocean, and of course the land is never a unachievable place to live so long as they can find an area to live in peace, or take a place if need be.

Age

Young Leviakin grow quickly. They walk hours after hatching, attain the size and development of a 10-year-old human child by the age of 3, and reach adulthood by 15. They live to be around 80.

Alignment

Leviakin are a very varied race, though much is not known about them as far as the knowledge of the other races, Leviakin know that they are all not the same. Some Leviakin are as evil and dangerous as any usually evil race, seeing the world as a kill or be killed place, some are noble and good like many humanoid races, seeing the world as a place where you do not always have to kill your neighbors to survive, more that you can coexist if possible, and then there are the neutral Leviakin, seeing everything in shades of grey, they are neither evil nor good, they usually just do what they do for themselves or for their families.

Languages

As a Leviakin you can read and speak Common and Primodial.

Size

Leviakin are taller and heavier than humans, standing well over 6 feet tall and averaging almost 250 pounds. Your size is Medium.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet. In addition you have 30 feet of swim speed.

Leviathin Ancestry

As the descendant of the leviathans, you gain a breath weapon similar to that of a Dragonborn in the form of lightning. This power came directly from the leviathan monsters that they are descendant from, in the early stages of their races life, this weapon was used for defence against beasts and monsters in addition to any simple weapons that could be made or found.

 

Breath Weapon

Your breath weapon is lightning, formed in a 5 by 30ft line.

When you use your breath weapon, each creature in the area of the exhalation must make a saving throw, the type of which is determined by your leviathan ancestry. 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.

Damage Resistance
