Homebrew Dracofiend Species Details
Dracofiend Traits
Ability Score Increase
- +2 Charisma (from Tiefling Lineage)

Fiendish and Draconic Legacy (Hybrid Ancestry)
You inherit both fiendish resilience and draconic power.
- Darkvision: 60 ft
- Draconic Resistance: Choose one damage type from your draconic ancestry (e.g., acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison). You have resistance to that damage.
- Hellish Resistance: You also have Fire damage resistance (if you already chose fire for dragon ancestry, it doesn't stack).
Effectively, you gain two resistances, or strong resistance to one.
Hybrid Legacy Powers
When creating your character, choose your Draconic Ancestry (Bronze, Copper, Silver, Gold, etc.). This determines your breath weapon and other traits.
Breath Weapon (Hybridized)
You can exhale a destructive force of energy. When using Breath Weapon, choose either:
- Line (30 ft. long, 5 ft. wide)
- Cone (15 ft. cone)
DC = 8 + your Con mod + proficiency bonus
Damage: 2d6 at Lv. 1, increasing to 3d6 at Lv. 5, 4d6 at Lv. 11, and 5d6 at Lv.17
Fiend-Drake Form (Optional at Lv. 5+)
Once per long rest, you may manifest a draconic-fiendish hybrid transformation for 1 minute. While in that form:
- You sprout fleeting draconic wings(no flight unless Lv. 10+)
- Unarmed strikes deal an additional 1d4 elemental damage of the chosen ancestry
- You gain advantage on Intimidation or Arcana checks related to dragons or fiends
- Breath weapon recharge on a 5-6
At Level 10, you gain flight speed = walking speed while transformed.

Fiendish Legacy
You are the recipient of a legacy that grants you supernatural abilities. Choose a legacy from the Fiendish Legacies table. You gain the level 1 benefit of the chosen legacy.
When you reach character levels 3 and 5, you learn a higher-level spell, as shown on the table. You always have that spell prepared. You can cast it once without a spell slot, and you regain the ability to cast it in that way when you finish a Long Rest. You can also cast the spell using any spell slots you have of the appropriate level. Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for the spells you cast with this trait (choose the ability when you select the legacy).
| Legacy | Level 1 | Level 3 | Level 5 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Abyssal | You have Resistance to Poison damage. You also know the Poison Spray cantrip. | Ray of Sickness | Hold Person |
| Chthonic | You have Resistance to Necrotic damage. You also know the Chill Touch cantrip. | False Life | Ray of Enfeeblement |
| Infernal | You have Resistance to Fire damage. You also know the Fire Bolt cantrip. | Hellish Rebuke | Darkness |
Otherworldly Presence
You know the Thaumaturgy cantrip. When you cast it with this trait, the spell uses the same spellcasting ability you use for your Fiendish Legacy Trait.
