Homebrew Half Fiend Species Details

 

Infernal Bloodline

Half-Fiends are derived from human bloodlines, and in the broadest possible sense, they still look human. However, their infernal heritage has left a clear imprint on their appearance. Their forms are generally hideous and frightening, with any number of fiendish traits- horns, hooves, tails, scales, wings etc.   The luckiest among them have the ability to appear human when they wish, either through illusion magic, or through a "Alter Self" ability that reshapes their demonic form to look human.

Half Fiend Traits

Half-fiends share certain racial traits as a result of their infernal descent.

Demonic form

Using a form of Alter self, you can shift between a normal seeming human form, and a demonic form that has some additional abilities
Horrific Visage- Advantage on Intimidation checks
Scales- when you are not wearing any armor, your base armor class becomes 13
Wings- Your shoulders sprout batlike wings that give you a fly speed of 60
multi-attack- you gain formidable Claws and a vicious bite.  as a single attack action you can attack with one claw and a bite at your base attack bonus  These count as natural weapons, and as magical for the purpose of bypassing resistance.
