Homebrew Fireborn Species Details

Fireborn

Cursed, constructed or even sometimes born from creatures with affinity to fire; the fireborn are a people not often seen in totality. While there are few that show themselves openly in society many often use metal suits or other coverings as to not burn people and objects around them. The Fireborn tend to most be comparable to fire elementals in how they appear but there are some that are more magma or volcanic rock than actual flames. They are truly one with flames and are most often found near those like themselves like Fire Genasi or the elemental plane of flames. 

 

Creating Your Character

At 1st level, you choose whether your character is a member of the human race or of a fantastical race. If you select a fantastical race, follow these additional rules during character creation.

Ability Score Increases

When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one score by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1. Follow this rule regardless of the method you use to determine the scores, such as rolling or point buy. The “Quick Build” section for your character’s class offers suggestions on which scores to increase. You can follow those suggestions or ignore them, but you can’t raise any of your scores above 20.

Life Span

Fireborn reach physical maturity at about the same age as humans but their lifespan is wholly decided by them having some sort of fire burning inside them. In early years it can mean a physical fire but once reaching late teens into the twenties their life expectancy is for so long as they burn to do or want something, for some goal they may burn for a thousand years for some they may find happiness in a mere ten and extinguish.

Height and Weight

Fireborn range from many sizes, some as short as halflings some rivaling goliaths but all are fairly light considering they are just flames and maybe a few chunks of magma or igneous rock.
