Homebrew Scorched Angel (also a Post-Death option) Species Details
Scorched Angels are those reborn from a fiery death. Their ashes are consumed by the deity known as Káma, who presents himself at the time of their death and- through his touch- relieves them of any pain they would otherwise be feeling. Upon consuming their ashes, he grants them another chance at life by rebirthing them into a new version of their former selves. They keep their memories, knowledge- everything. The only things changed, however, is their ability to wield fire magic and, most uniquely of all, their scorched wings (ranging from 3 ft - 4 ft) which appear only in times of rage. Káma and Scorched Angels go hand in hand.
Scorched Angel (also a Post-Death option) Traits
Scorched Angels take on the same form as their former selves, so they can be of any size and shape with the exception of inanimate objects, of course.Ability Increase
You've lived one life more than most. Due to this, you have an innate sense of what people want to hear. Your ~Charisma stat is increased by +2.
Darkvision
A constant, dull inner glow. This glow allows Scorched Angels to see in lower light conditions better than they previously would have.
Ability Increase
Káma is your guide. Your saviour and god has been known to whisper in your ear in times of need. You gain a +1 to your Wisdom.
Healing Touch
Like Kama himself. As he did with you and countless others, Káma healed you of any pain when you most needed it. He granted you the same gift. Through touch, you heal said creature for a 1d4 plus your Charisma modifier and your Spellcasting level. If used on an undead creature, you may only heal them half of your roll. You do not use any spell slots by doing this but it may only be done once every 2 hours.
Age
Your old life was limited but your new is not. Half angel now, you are immortal when it comes to ageing. You look the same as you did just before you died, for better or for worse, and you will again. You reach adulthood the same time you would have in your former life; if you died before then, you will never reach it.
Languages
Add Celestial. Due to your rebirth as a Scorched Angel, you are able to speak, read and write whatever languages you could prior to your death with the addition of Celestial.
Spell Casting Ability
You have fire and magic coursing through your veins. You have the innate sense to cast spells and as you level up the amount of spells you know and how well you can cast them increases.
Weapon Proficiency
New dog, old tricks. You remember all of your past training (or lack-thereof) and are proficient in the same weaponry as before, if at all.
Saving Throws
Perhaps you can cheat death again. Your proficiency with charisma and wisdom provide you with a small advantage when making a saving throw.
Skills
- Your old proficiencies are still valid but you may choose one more from the following also:
Arcana
Insight
Medicine
Nature
Persuasion
Religion
Stealth Disadvantage
Night Time Stealth. Due to your natural, low burning glow you are somewhat easier to spot at night. In light- natural or otherwise- it is not noticeable. You must roll a disadvantage on your Stealth rolls at night.
Flight
With wings smaller than other angels, you are limited. You can only fly for a period of 10 minutes before needing a break. This is due to your smaller, scorched wings.
Unstable Magic
Levelling up allows you to adjust stability. Scorched Angels are able to use Divine Points to make their spells more stable if necessary; this only applies to those who are reborn with the use of magic they never had before. If you were able to cast magic prior to your death, you retain your knowledge of how to cast them safely.
Spellcasting
Born from ashes, a new power. These are the spells you can have your Scorched Angel learn at different levels: Aganazzar’s Scorcher, Burning Hands, Commune, Continual Flame, Control Flames, Create Bonfire, Cure Wounds, Delayed Blast Fireball, Disintegrate, Fire Bolt, Fire Shield, Fire Storm, Fireball, Flame Blade, Investiture of Flame, Mass Cure Wounds, Sacred Flame, Scorching Ray, Speak with Dead, Wall of Fire
