Homebrew Jolteon Species Details
"Jolteon, the Lightning Pokémon. When angered or frightened, the hairs on Jolteon's body become like needles that are fired at its opponents. It absorbs charged atoms and can produce 10,000 volts of electricity."
— The national Pokédex
Jolteons are mammalian Pokémon. They are typically covered in yellow fur with a spiky fringe instead of a tail, and usually have a white ruff around their necks. Their ears are large and pointed with black interiors, and their eyes and small nose are black. They have slender legs and small paws, each with three toes and a pink paw-pad.
A Jolteon's prickly fur is made of electrically charged needles and generate negatively charged ions which create a sparking noise as they move. They also have an electricity-generating organ in their lungs. The static electricity in their fur amplifies the low-level electricity generated by their cells and allow it to discharge 10,000-volt lightning bolts. They can have high-strung natures and have tendency toward mood swings which can make it difficult to get along with them.
They evolve from Eevees who are imbued with electrical magic, usually by touching a stone made for that purpose.
Hyperactive and Electric
Jolteons are jumpy and energetic beings, much like the very electricity that courses through their being. Their behaviors may mirror those of someone who has a hyperactive nature and/or an attention deficit. They excel in physical activities and quick decision making.
Jolteon Traits
As a Jolteon, you are infused with electrical powers and have the following traits.Ability Score Increase
Your dexterity score increases by 2, and your charisma score increases by 1.
Age
Jolteons are thought to age at the same rate at Humans, if not slightly quicker. Consult with your DM.
Alignment
Jolteons just can't help themselves much of the time, and will lean into chaotic or neutral alignments. It would take a great amount of discipline for a Jolteon to be lawful.
Size
Jolteons are rather short, and rarely get very far above 4 feet in height. They tend to weigh somewhere about 54 pounds. Your size is medium.
Speed
Due to your fast-acting nervous system, your base walking speed is 35 feet.
Electric body.
Your body courses with electricity, and the following traits apply to you:
- Whilst you are standing in natural (as-opposed to man-made) difficult terrain, attack rolls made against you have advantage, and you have disadvantage on dexterity saving throws. Occupying the space of another creature does not trigger this vulnerability.
- You are resistant to lightning damage
- When you are struck by a melee attack with a metal weapon, the attacker will be shocked for 1d4 electric damage unless their hand is insulated or otherwise protected from electricity in some way.
Static Needles
Your spikey fur can become sharp when you feel threatened, and be fired as if they were darts. You are considered to have an infinite amount of this ammunition. As a bonus action, you may electrify your fur for one minute, causing your fur needles to cause lightning damage instead. You may electrify your fur in this way a number of times equal to your constitution modifier, (minimum 1). You recover your uses of this ability after a short or long rest.
Electric agility
The negative ions you gather for yourself allow you to do one of the following:
- As a bonus action, you may cause your dash action to take no action. When you do so, harmless sparks trail behind you.
- You may use your reaction to add your constitution score to a dexterity check or saving throw.
- You may cast the Jump spell as a bonus action without material components, and without consuming a spell slot. When you do so, a trail of frightening lightning arcs follows and surrounds you. When you use this feature to cast jump, and then perform a high or long jump, if you land within 5 feet of another creature, the lightning surrounding you arcs to it and deals 1d4 lightning damage. The damage increases to 2d4 at 6th level, 3d4 at 11th level, and 4d4 at 16th level.
You may use this feature a number of times equal to your constitution modifier, (minimum of 1). You regain your expended used of this feature after a long rest.
Languages
You can read, speak, and write Common, and one language of your choice.
