Abyssal Tiefling

ALYRA FELT HER FATHER'S SHADOW LOOMING OVER her for her entire life. When your descended from demons your father's reputation kind of sticks like that.

But she only really expected that the term was figurative, and not for her shadow to actually be a part of her demonic heritage made manifest. It was rather unsettling at first, but having a living shadow is actually really handy.

Tieflings whose bloodline originates from the depths of the abyss are, by definition, an unusual bunch. Not so uniformly demonic as infernal tieflings are devilishly handsome. Indeed, their abyssal heritage is often expressed in dribs and drabs more often than clear as day making them resemble a mishmash of mortal and demon (possibly several). Needless to say, those who survive to adulthood likely did not have a loving childhood and have a long road of misery awaiting them.

Quasit's Get

Not the most flattering of heritages, but these tieflings didn't really get much choice in the matter.

Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma score increases by 2.

Familial Bond. You may communicate telepathically with anyone with whom you are intimately familiar (AKA your party) so long as you are within 1 mile of each other.

Terrifying. As an action, you may force one creature of your choice within 20 feet to make a Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, with disadvantage if the you are within line of sight, ending the effect on itself on a success. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Charisma modifier + your proficiency bonus. You may use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Barlgura Spawn

These tieflings are obvious from their bright orange hair that grows thickly all over their body, and brutish tusks growing from their jaws similar to that of an orc.

Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score increases by an additional 1, and your Strength score increases by 1.

Monkey Grip. You have a climbing speed equal to your base walking speed.

Ham Fisted. Your hands are oversized and kind of clumsy. You have disadvantage on Dexterity checks involving your hands, but your unarmed strikes deal 1d6 bludgeoning damage, or as a creature one sized larger if you have the martial art feature, unarmed fighting style or similar feature.

Powerful Build. You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.

Goristro Spawn

Seemingly indistinct from a minotaur, these tieflings' bloodline hails from the towering goristro. While not as immense as their forebears, they're still exceptionally easy to pick out from a crowd.

Ability Score Increase. Your Strength score increases by 2.

Goring Horns. You have horns protruding from your head that serve as a natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with it, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d8 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

Labyrinthine Recall. You can perfectly recall any path you have traveled.

Towering Stature. You stand far taller than any mortal should. Your size is Large.

Marilith Spawn

Universally born female, the spawn of the mariliths have a very obvious fraction of their sire's physique.

Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score increases by 2.

Four Arms. You have two additional arms beneath your "usual" pair. These arms are fully formed, and you are adept at using these arms as you would be with your other arms. They can manipulate and hold objects and weapons, but do not grant you additional attacks.

You may treat two-handed weapons as one-handed weapons.

Keen Senses. You have proficiency in the Perception skill.

Balor Brood

Towering over all in the community, there is a clear sign as to why balors are so feared. This fact of their existence does lead to many of the balor brood becoming rather conceited.

Ability Score Increase. Your Strength score increases by 2.

Firey Expression. As a bonus action, you can set one melee weapon you are holding ablaze. While on fire, the weapon sheds bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet and deals an additional 1d6 points of fire damage.

The weapon remains ablaze for 1 minute, ending early if it leaves your possession, or you will it to (no action required by you). Once you use this feature, you may not use it until you have finished a short or long rest.

Towering Stature. You stand far taller than any mortal should. Your size is Large.
