Homebrew Raizo Species Details

Raizo (RYE-zoh) hail from a storm-swept world, bound tightly to the tempestuous nature of the world soul that gives the planet—and its ferocious storms—life. All raizo carry the strength and fury of the storm within them and can unleash that power to overcome staggering odds.

Raizo are tall, solidly built, and often heavily muscled. A pair of horns grow from the top of their foreheads. Their skin runs in shades of red, blue, green, gray, or yellow. Many raizo sport tattoos that reflect particularly important aspects of their nature or personality.

Raizo Traits

As a Raizo, you have these special traits.

Fury of the Tempest

You have proficiency in the Athletics, Intimidation, or Survival skill.

Storm Magic

You know the Shocking Grasp and Thunder Burst cantrips, and Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for them (choose when you select this species). You can cast the spells as a Bonus Action a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.

Tempest Resistance

You have Resistance to Lightning damage and Thunder damage.

Wrathful Resilience

If you fail a Strength or Constitution saving throw, you can expend a Hit Point Die to reroll the d20 and use the new roll.

Unleash the Storm

When you reach character level 3, you can release the storm within your being as a Bonus Action, using one of the options below (choose the option each time you use this trait). The storm lasts for 1 minute or until you end it (no action required). Once you take this Bonus Action, you can’t do so again until you finish a Long Rest.

For the duration, you create a storm in 10-foot Emanation originating from you, and once on each of your turns, when you deal damage with an attack or a spell, you can deal extra damage to one target. The extra damage equals your Proficiency Bonus, and the extra damage’s type is Lightning for Lightning Spirit, Cold for Tempest Born, or Thunder for Thunder Soul.

  • Lightning Spirit. Lightning lances out from you. At the end of each of your turns, each creature of your choice in the Emanation takes Lightning damage equal to your Proficiency Bonus.
  • Tempest Born. Rain sheets lash around you. You and your allies in the Emanation have Half Cover from ranged attacks.
  • Thunder Soul. Thunder rolls in waves from you. At the start of each of your turns, each creature of your choice in the Emanation must succeed on a Strength saving throw (DC 8 plus your Proficiency Bonus and the ability modifier you chose for Storm Magic) or be pushed up to 10 feet away from you. A creature that fails the save by 5 or more has the Prone condition.
