Homebrew Spellforge Species Details
Either through the chaotic, unpredictable and explosive interactions of coiling, latent magic, or through the meticulous designs of powerful spellcasters, Spellforged are the very essence of The Weave forged into consciousness. They are beings of pure magical energy, but feel emotion, pain and pleasure in much the same way as any other sentient.
The life of a Spellforged is often as chaotic as the explosive interactions that brought about their creation. Extremely rare, and lacking any parents, culture, heritage or purpose, they often wander the world, seeking fulfillment in any way they can find it. For any individual this may mean helping others, gathering more power, indulging wholeheartedly in the finer things life has to offer, or seeking a higher meaning beyond the material world. Their unstable ties to the Weave tend Spellforged toward Chaotic alignments.
Spellforge Traits
Magical elementals born through magicAbility Score Increase
Your Strength scores increase by 2, and Constitution score increases by 1.
Magical Form
Your primary form is that of any medium sized humanoid, and you glow and pulse with clear magical energy that reflects your chosen elemental power. You might radiate heat as a fire Spellforged, or crackle with a static energy as a Lightning one.
You also gain the ability to manipulate your shape to take on that of any one medium sized beast of your choice twice per long rest as an action. This new form has no impact on your ability scores, movement speed or proficiencies; it is merely the shape that the magic which binds you together has taken.
Born of Energy
The magic that bound you together grants you access to its elemental powers. Choose acid, cold, fire, lightning, poison, thunder or a multi elemental that changes depending on the corresponding d6 that you must roll at the start of everyday. You gain a resistance to that damage type, and your unarmed strikes deal 1d4 + your Strength modifier of the chosen damage type.
Speed
Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Magical Resillence
You are a being born from chaotic magic given form, represented by the following benefits:
- You have advantage on Arcana checks.
- You have immunity to disease and the poisoned condition.
- You don’t need to eat, drink, or breathe.
- You are immune to spells and effects that would dispel the magic that binds you together.
Elemental Burst
When you drop to 0 hit points, you may choose to emit a chaotic blast of elemental energy. All creatures within 10 feet of you take damage of your elemental type equal to 3d8 + 2x your level. Roll a d20. On a natural 1, reduce your maximum Hit Point total by the damage rolled, and roll your death saves with disadvantage until stabilised. If your maximum hit point total is reduced to 0 in this way, you die. Only a Wish spell can resurrect you if you die in this manner. If your maximum hit point total is reduced, the effect of a Greater Restoration spell cast on you while at full health restores 1 hit point to your maximum. You can only use the Elemental Burst ability once per long rest.
Into the weave
As a bonus action, you can magically teleport yourself or one willing creature within 5ft of you up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. Once you use this trait, you can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest.
Languages
You can speak, read and write Common and Primordial.
