Homebrew Fallen Angel Species Details

 

Angels cast out of heaven, Fallen Angels come from dark backgrounds. In past lives they have committed many cruel deeds and sins, causing them to be punished as they are. Most Fallen Angels are torn, physically and mentally destroyed, haunted by their past life.

Fallen Angels are able to choose their old, murderous ways, or start a new life.

Abyssal

The entropy of the Abyss, the chaos of Pandemonium, and the despair of Carceri call to Fallen Angels who have the abyssal legacy. Skin like ashes and winds too damaged to fly describe these monsters, most of whom have the blood of demons coursing through their veins.

Chthonic

Fallen Angels who have the chthonic legacy feel not only the tug of Carceri but also the greed of Gehenna and the gloom of Hades. Some of these Fallen Angels look cadaverous. Others possess the unearthly beauty of a succubus, or they have physical features in common, with a night hag, a yugoloth, or some other Neutral Evil fiendish ancestor.

Infernal

The infernal legacy connects Fallen Angels not only to Gehenna but also the Nine Hells and the raging battlefields of Acheron. Darker grey skin, ragged hair and damaged wings are how most of such Fallen Angels look, with most of who trace their ancestry to devils.

Fiendish Legacy

You are the recipient of a legacy that grants you supernatural abilities. Choose a legacy from the Fiendish Legacies table. You gain the level 1 benefit of the chosen legacy.

When you reach character levels 3 and 5, you learn a higher-level spell, as shown on the table. You always have that spell prepared. You can cast it once without a spell slot, and you regain the ability to cast it in that way when you finish a Long Rest. You can also cast the spell using any spell slots you have of the appropriate level. Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for the spells you cast with this trait (choose the ability when you select the legacy).
