Natural Armor

The firenewt adventurer's hardened skin gives them a permanent +1 to armor class.

Naturally Warm

Because Firenewt Adventurers normally live in hot areas, like hot springs or volcanoes, you have resistance to Fire damage and are less affected by extreme heat than other races. However, because of this, in especially cold places your speed is reduced by 10 and may only take an action or bonus action on your turn, in addition to moving, or take an action and bonus action and not move.

Amphibious

Because of the Firenewt Adventurer's liking of hot water, they have adapted to breathe air as well as water.

Heat Seeking

A Firenewt Adventurer is less dependent on water like normal Firenewts, but they still require it to survive. A Firenewt Adventurer must find a source of moist heat every 2 months, whether it's a hot bath or a sauna, and stay in it for at least 10 minutes. A Firenewt Adventurer who goes for more than 2 months without a source of moist heat will take 1 point of exhaustion every week without hot water. If a Firenewt Adventurer has 5 points of exhaustion from this, it, instead of dying, goes into hibernation. A Firenewt Adventurer can survive for 3 weeks in hibernation, waking up in 1d4 hours when placed in hot water. A Firenewt Adventurer will lose 1 point of exhaustion every 1d4 days, until it is reduced back to 0.
