Homebrew Tiefling/Yuan-ti Pureblood Hybrid Species Details

Ages ago their dark gods taught them profane, cannibalistic rituals to mix their flesh with that of snakes, producing a caste-based society of hybrids in which the most snakelike are the leaders and the most humanlike are spies and agents in foreign lands. A pact that was struck by a rather ambitious warlock generations ago infused the essence of Asmodeus—overlord of the Nine Hells—into their bloodline. Their appearance and their nature are not their fault but the result of an ancient sin, for which they and their children and their children’s children will always be held accountable.

Tiefling/Yuan-ti Pureblood Hybrid Traits

+2 Charisma, +1 Intelligence, Darkvision, Hellish Resistance, Infernal Legacy, Poison Immunity

Darkvision

Thanks to your infernal heritage, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Ability Score Increase

Your Intelligence score increases by 1, and your Charisma score increases by 2.

Age

Hybrids mature at the same rate as humans and have lifespans similar in length to theirs; but live a few years longer.

Size

Hybrids match humans in average size and weight, and are the same size and build. Your size is medium.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 45 feet.

Hellish Resistance

You have resistance to fire damage.

Infernal Legacy

You know the thaumaturgy cantrip. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the hellish rebuke spell as a 2nd-level spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. When you reach 5th level, you can cast the darkness spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells.

Poison Immunity

You are immune to poison damage and the poisoned condition.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common, Infernal, Abyssal, and Draconic.

Alignment

Hybrids might not have an innate tendency toward evil, but many of them end up there. Evil or not, an independent nature inclines many hybrids toward a chaotic alignment. However, because of Pureblood heritage, they can also be devoid of emotion and see others as tools to manipulate. They care little for law or chaos and are typically neutral evil.
