Homebrew Cursed Hellhound Species Details
Monstrous, fire-breathing Fiends that take the form of powerful dogs, hell hounds are found on the battlefields of Acheron and throughout the Lower Planes. On The Material Plane, hell hounds are most commonly seen in service to devils, Fire Giants, and other evil creatures that use them as guard animals and companions. Cursed Hellhounds have broken free from their fiendish and demonic services and planes by the "help" of mages and warlocks that cursed them with humanity and a humanoid form.

Posted Mar 11, 2024I can't complain about a thing, this is an amazing Homebrew race, which is balanced in most ways. The only thing that I may ask for is advantage within certain areas, such as demonic realms.
