Hey there everyone, this here is my first homebrewed race and has not been subject to any play testing. Initially it was designed to be a bit more 'mutant', but that fell through and I feel like it's become a little more generic now. But I still like it overall, and any feedback would be greatly appreciated as this has not yet been integrated into our game, meaning many of the features are still receptive to change. Thanks in advance. (Also the flavour text might be a little bland, the Google Doc I'm using has some juicier stuff, but I figured that might make the post a little too long.)
Gorebreed
Gorebreed are a foul race, bred from the depths through the union of Demons, Devils and at times, Celestials. They are seen as weird, obscure creatures, and often their parents are persecuted for the creation of such an ill being. Their bodies are strange and malformed, typically smothered in defects.
Gorebreed Traits
Your Gorebreed character has a variety of specialist abilities, due to their nature.
Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma score increases by 2.
Age. Gorebreed typically mature into full “adults” at the age of 10, and they live until their 60s, although many die earlier than this due to a variety of genetic defects.
Alignment. Almost all Gorebreed tend towards Evil, and it is extremely rare for this to be found otherwise. Devilscion are typically Lawful, Doomprogeny being generally Neutral and Demonborne are usually Chaotic, although due to the nature of their disruptive adobes, this may vary.
Size. Gorebreed stand far over 6 feet and average over 220 pounds . Your size is medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Superior Darkvision. 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.
Fiendish Oddity. You are considered to be a Fiend (Both mechanically (Therefore gaining all the advantages/disadvantages of fiends) and for flavour), but of an obscure lineage. As a result you are immune to disease. You also do not need to eat or breathe, but you can ingest food and drink if you wish. Instead of sleeping, you enter a dreamlike state for 4 hours each day. Although, you are fully aware of your surroundings in this state and notice approaching enemies and other events as normal.
Tormented Mind. You have advantage on saves against Charm and Fear, as well as immunity to effects that cause you to fall asleep.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common.
Subrace. Three main subraces of Gorebreed populate the worlds of D&D: Devilscion, Doomprogeny and Demonborne. Choose one of these subraces.
(Flavour text will be very basic, don't worry, it's going to be more fleshed out later)
