Homebrew Abishai Species Details

Abishai were once humans who somehow won a dragon god’s favor. Their reward made them less human, and more dragon-like. With hardened scales, sharp claws, and wings. Abishai are tasked with responsibilities that their gods think are too futile for their direct intervention, but still have interest in. Some have simple tasks, like delivering a message. Others have greater responsibilities, such as creating a cult or taking down a corrupt leader.

Draconic Gifts

Choose one type of dragon from the table below. Your breath weapon and damage resistance are determined by the dragon type, as shown in the table.

 

Breath Weapon: When you use your breath weapon, each creature in the area of the exhalation must make a saving throw, the type of which is determined by your draconic ancestry. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. A creature takes 2d6 damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. The damage increases to 3d6 at 5th level, 4d6 at 10th level, 5d6 at 15th level, and 6d6 at 20th level.        After you use your breath weapon, you can’t use it again until you complete a short or long rest.

Draconic Resistance: You have resistance to the damage type associated with your draconic ancestry.
