Homebrew (2024) Bladeling Species Details

Bladelings are a humanoid species from Acheron that have sharp, metallic spines covering their skin. They have bright purple eyes and their skin is hued like matal. While they are mostly found in Acheron, the eternal battlefield, many believe that they are descendants of fiends from the nine hells, Hades or Gehenna instead. These stories claim that they descended from Tieflings that adapted to the brutal environment of Acheron. While in their home plane, bladelings are often wary of outsiders, but they have made a name for themselves throughout the Planes due to their abilities as fighters and assassins.


Bladeling Traits

Creature Type: Humanoid
Size: Medium (about 5–7 feet tall)
Speed: 30 feet

As a Bladeling, you have these special traits.

Metallic Skin

Your metallic skin grants you a +1 bonus to your armor class and resistance to acid damage.

Razor Storm

When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can forgo one of your attacks to expel shrapnel-like bits of your skin in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC 8 plus your Constitution modifier and Proficiency Bonus). On a failed save, a creature takes piercing damage equal to a number of d10s equal to your proficiency bonus. On a succesful save, it takes half as much damage only.

After you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest. Once you use it, you also loose the AC increase of your metallic skin feature until you finish a long rest.

Darkvision

You have Darkvision with a range of 60 feet.

Natural Armaments

As a bonus action, you can create a simple weapon that deals piercing damage from your body. The weapon lasts until you finish a long rest or until you use this feature again.
