Homebrew Fire Newt Species Details

The Fire Newts emerged in the lava fields south of the Arrakai Mountains, before quickly adapting to and thriving in the vast northern deserts. These amphibians actually don't rely on water, instead needing a source of warmth to prevent exhaustion, and time spent out in the mid day heat will actually revitalize these creatures. This race tends to be skilled in the art of bladed combat, and many seem to have an innate connection with the arcane. 

Fire Newt Traits

As a Fire Newt, you have these traits.

Fire Affinity

Since Fire Newts require magma to spawn and fire to live, these creatures are not only immune to fire, but thrive in its presence. Fire Newts tend to sleep on burning coals or small fires to prevent them from getting too cold.

Sticky Fingers

Due to their amphibious origin, this species has very sticky skin, preventing them from dropping their weapons in combat. They also have very flexible joints, granting them advantage on dexterity ability checks, so long as they are fully energized. This bonus goes away after one point of exhaustion. 

Spit Fire

Since Fire Newts have such a high internal body temperature, they are able to focus their energy and summon a burst of flame, although it is typically quite exhausting. 

Aqua Quench

Like a real fire, Fire Newts are very weak to water, and will quickly die when submerged.
