Homebrew Fire Elemental Species Details
Fire Elementals are a form those born to a Tiefling and a Fire Genasi can turn into, only after unlocking their Fire Genasi heritage. Unlike their normal form, they are typically unable to retain self control and become chaotic beings with their sights set on destruction. Remaining in Fire Form for too long may damage the individual's mental capability for self control, and in some cases those, even of True Neutral alignment, can become Chaotic Evil and lose themselves. Fire Form takes quite a toll on an individual's physical state as well, and one can only transform once until after a Long Rest, as the transformation is incredibly harrowing.

Your Intelligence score decreases by 1, your Charisma score increases by 2, and your Dexterity increases by 2.

If remaining in a Fire Form state wasn't detrimental to the Tiefling/Fire Genasi's mental state, they could potentially become immortal.

Speed
Your base walking speed is 40 feet.
Darkvision
Thanks to your infernal heritage, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Fire Form
The elemental can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing. A creature that touches the elemental or hits it with a melee Attack while within 5 ft. of it takes 5 (1d10) fire damage. In addition, the elemental can enter a Hostile creature's space and stop there. The first time it enters a creature's space on a turn, that creature takes 5 (1d10) fire damage and catches fire; until someone takes an action to douse the fire, the creature takes 5 (1d10) fire damage at the start of each of its turns.
Illumination
The elemental sheds bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light in an additional 30 ft.
Water Susceptibility
For every 5 ft. the elemental moves in water, or for every gallon of water splashed on it, it takes 1 cold damage.

While raging, you gain the following benefits:
• You have advantage on Fire-based spells, but cannot cast others that aren't within the element.
• You have Resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.
Your rage lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are knocked Unconscious or if Your turn ends and you haven't attacked a hostile creature since your last turn or taken damage since then. You can also end your rage on your turn as a bonus action.
Once you have raged the maximum number of times for your level, you must finish a Long Rest before you can rage again. You may rage 2 times at 1st level, 3 at 3rd, 4 at 6th, 5 at 12th, and 6 at 17th.
