Homebrew [S] Infernal Royal Species Details
Infernal Royals are mortals born not merely of fiendish blood, but of infernal authority — scions of Asmodeus and the ruling powers of the Nine Hells. Unlike tieflings, whose heritage is diluted and often accidental, Infernal Royals are created or chosen by Hell’s most powerful entities, carrying the legacy of devilish nobility in their veins. Their infernal lineage is veiled behind a strikingly human appearance, with only subtle features — burning eyes, unnaturally perfect symmetry, or a voice that commands attention — hinting at the power within. Whether shaped by ancient contracts, dark rituals, or direct descent from archdevils like Glasya or Zariel, they walk the planes with regal bearing, fire-forged resistance, and a tongue sharpened for both law and lies. Viewed by some as future rulers of Nessus and by others as threats to the infernal order, Infernal Royals command respect, fear, or devotion wherever they go — for in every one burns the potential to lead, conquer, or rebel against the throne of Hell itself.
[S] Infernal Royal Traits
As a child of the Nine Hells and inheritor of infernal power, you possess abilities that reflect your noble bloodline and hellish origin. You walk between mortal and devilish worlds, blending charm, ambition, and resilience with the authority of Baator itself. Your very presence carries the weight of infernal law — and the fire to defy or enforce it.Ability Score Increase
Your Charisma score increases by 2 and your Constitution by 1.
Alignment
Infernal Royals descended from Asmodeus often gravitate toward law and order, embracing hierarchy, contracts, and control. While not inherently evil, their infernal heritage tends to influence them toward selfish ambition, pragmatism, and cunning manipulation. Many lean toward Lawful Evil or Lawful Neutral, though individuals may defy their legacy and walk any moral path.
Size
You are Small or Medium (choose when you select this race).
Speed
Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Darkvision
Accustomed to the gloom of Hell, you have darkvision out to 60 feet. You can see in dim light as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Hellish Resistance
You have resistance to fire damage.
Infernal Authority
Fiends instinctively recognize the infernal power within your blood, perceiving you as a figure of infernal nobility or potential authority. Even those bound by magic or twisted by hatred hesitate in your presence. Fiends, devils, demons, and other infernal creatures with Intelligence scores of 6 or higher can be affected by your attempts to charm or frighten them, even if they are normally immune to such effects. While this does not prevent them from attacking or opposing you, it makes them more susceptible to social interaction. You can use Persuasion checks against fiends regardless of their attitude or magical bindings, gaining advantage on such checks when the creature’s CR is less than your level.
Regal Presence
Your noble blood grants you an unnatural force of will. You have proficiency in the Deception skill. If you already have proficiency, choose Persuasion or Intimidation instead.
Languages
You can speak, read, and write Common and Infernal.
