Homebrew Drymara Species Details

The Drymara despite splintering off and successfully making an unholy pact with Asmodeus—overlord of the Nine Hells— thus recommitting the same sin that the Tiefling ancestors did where still no match for the pure numbers of the Drow who took offense to this betrayal of Lolth and nearly exterminated the entire splinter sending the few who remained into hiding.  you are an offspring of an original surviving Drymara and a sympathetic Drow, your lot in life is to find where you fit in.

 

Drymara are more hated and distrusted then other Tieflings for their heritage consists of two of the most hated races of the realm.  From your Drow ancestry you retain the Dextrose nature getting a +2 to Dex and from your demon ancestry you have a higher ability to learn and gain +1 to Int but the Charisma of your forefathers does not persevere in your bloodline.  

Superior Darkvision: Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 120 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.  

Keen Senses: You have proficiency in the Perception skill.

Fey Ancestry: You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can't put you to sleep.

Trance: Elves don't need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is "trance.") While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.

Sunlight Sensitivity: You have disadvantage on attack rolls and on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight when you, the target of your attack, or whatever you are trying to perceive is in direct sunlight.

Drow Magic: You know the dancing lights cantrip. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the faerie fire 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.

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.

Drow Weapon Training: You have proficiency with rapiers, shortswords, and hand crossbows.
