Homebrew Eyeless Brood Species Details

The tieflings of the Eyeless Brood superficially resemble normal tieflings, but they have a few differences. Their feet are prehensile, three-toed claws resembling those of birds or raptors. The next notable difference is that they have no eyes, with their eye sockets often being covered by skin, keratin or bone plates, or even having horns growing straight out of their otherwise empty eye sockets.

The Eyeless Brood are adept climbers, with a notable resilience to psychic assaults. 

Eyeless Brood Traits

Creature Type: Monstrosity
Size: Medium (about 6–7 feet tall)
Speed: 30 feet (Walking, Climbing)

As a member of the Eyeless Brood, you have these special traits.

Curse of the Eyeless

You gain Blindsight out to a radius of 45 feet, but are otherwise considered to be under the effects of the blinded condition.

Mental Resilience

You have Resistance to Psychic damage and advantage on Wisdom saving throws.

Mind Link

You have telepathy with a range 50 feet. When you’re using this trait to speak telepathically to a creature, you can take a Magic action to give that creature the ability to speak telepathically with you for 1 hour or until you take another Magic action to end this effect.

Dwellers in the Deep

You can use your climbing speed to walk upright on walls and ceilings without requiring any checks or saving throws, so long as there is some method for the prehensile claws on your feet to grip onto.

Your multiple prehensile limbs are capable of dextrous tasks and tool-usage. You have proficiency with Sleight of Hand and proficiency with a tool of your choice.

Age, Diet & Sleep

You don't need to sleep, and magic can't put you to sleep. When you take a long rest, you must spend at least six hours in an inactive, motionless state, rather than sleeping. In this state, you appear corpse-like, motionless, and inert, but it doesn’t render you unconscious, and you can hear and use your blindsight as normal.

The tieflings of the Eyeless Brood reach adulthood by the age of 32 (thirty-two) years. Beyond that, the Eyeless Brood tend to live for 750 years.

An adult tiefling of the Eyeless Brood does not need to eat, but they do require water.
