Homebrew Frost Demon Species Details

Frost Demons are an enigmatic, cold-blooded species feared across the multiverse for their immense natural power and ruthless efficiency. They possess sleek, segmented bodies covered in a durable, bio-organic exoskeleton that resembles natural armor, often accented by glossy gemstone-like plating on their heads, chests, and shoulders. Characterized by sharp, reptilian tails and piercing, crimson eyes, Frost Demons are born with a biological capacity for destruction that far outclasses most other mortal species. They are fiercely independent, chillingly calculative, and possess a terrifying physiological adaptation: the ability to survive the cold, crushing vacuum of open space without a hint of discomfort.

You begin in your suppressed form in order for you to learn to control and contain your power. You actively compress your overwhelming power inside a heavy, armored shell. Your stature shrinks, short horns sprout from your skull, and your ki drops to a deceptively low level. To conserve your terrifying energy and prevent yourself from accidentally destroying your surroundings, you have learned to compress your biology into a suppressed state.

Frost Demon Traits

Born of absolute zero, your Frost Demon heritage grants you terrifying physiological advantages

Bio-Armor Plate

Your body is encased in a natural, metallic exoskeleton. When you aren't wearing armor, your Armor Class equals 13 + your Dexterity modifier. You can use a shield and still gain this benefit.

Prehensile Tail

You possess a strong, flexible tail. You can use it to manipulate objects, open or close doors, or hold a tiny item. It cannot be used to wield weapons or shields, but you can use your reaction to attempt to grapple a creature of your size or smaller within 5 feet of you.

Void Survivor

Your alien biology is built to withstand extreme environments. You are immune to the effects of extreme cold, and you can survive indefinitely in a vacuum (such as the vacuum of space) without needing to breathe air.

Death Ball (Ki Blast)

You know the Fire Bolt cantrip, but its damage type is changed to Force damage as you fire a highly condensed, volatile sphere of purple ki from your fingertip. Charisma or Intelligence (your choice) is your spellcasting ability for it.
