Homebrew Abandoned Abishai Species Details

They were once generals, warriors, and devils under the order of Tiamat, the Chromatic Dragon Queen, a great and mighty wyrm with five heads, each one associated with a different color of Chromatic Dragon.
Now, you are lost, alone, and stranded, separated from your Queen.
Red, for flames that burn the world to ash.
Blue, for lightning that sunders the armor of mortal armies.
Green, for poison that chokes the land and sky, strangling life.
White, for a cold to freeze the land so that nothing may grow or prosper.
Black, for an acidic bile that corrodes the body and soul of anything it touches.
She is indomitable, she is absolute, and to the Abishai, she is their goddess, their queen, their Chromatic Empress.
You are alone with your destiny shrouded before you, your purpose obscured, many questions remain, but one is clear.
What will you do with your newfound 'freedom?'

Creating Your Character

At 1st level, you choose whether your character is a member of the human race or of a fantastical race. If you select a fantastical race, follow these additional rules during character creation.

Ability Score Increases

When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one score by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1. Follow this rule regardless of the method you use to determine the scores, such as rolling or point buy. The “Quick Build” section for your character’s class offers suggestions on which scores to increase. You can follow those suggestions or ignore them, but you can’t raise any of your scores above 20.

Languages

Your character can speak, read, and write Common and one other language that you and your DM agree is appropriate for the character.

Creature Type

Every creature in D&D, including each player character, has a special tag in the rules that identifies the type of creature they are. Most player characters are of the Humanoid type. A race tells you what your character’s creature type is.

Life Span

The average lifespan of an Abishai is comparable to that of Dragons, more often than not ranging all the way up to 750 years, but taken away from Tiamat's influence, their lifespan is no longer certain.

Height and Weight

Abishai typically stand tall and broad, comparable in size to Dragonborn, often larger, ranging from seven feet all the way to ten feet tall, and ranging from between 250-500 pounds given their large, robust frame and heavy, dense scales.
