Bloodlines v.4

Bloodlines
While it's true that all heroes forge their own destiny, what sets a Hero apart from a commoner
is the blood that runs through their veins. A Hero, a true Hero, is born into greatness, meant for
something more. While several races have the blood of ancient and powerful creatures coursing
through their veins, such as the Elves and Dragonborn, few have the ability to unlock the full
potential of their heritage the way that you can as a Hero of the realm.
The most powerful individuals in this world, those capable of shaping, or toppling, empires,
have an innate, dormant power within them waiting to be awakened. Most often these powers
manifest as the Hero overcomes challenges, slays creatures, and pushes themselves to their
absolute limit, growing with them as they become increasingly powerful. These pages document
some of the Bloodlines that are behind the most potent Adventurers, and the latent powers that
come with them.
Celestials
It's not uncommon for Divine beings to mingle with mortals. Aasimars are the common representation of the union
between Angel and Mortal. However, the blood can become diluted over generations as these Celestial-touched mortals
couple with those of normal blood, and a touch of the angelic can secretly flow through the veins of any creature, from the
tiniest Gnome to the most brutal Orc, unbeknownst to everyone until these divine powers manifest.
Those of the Celestial Bloodline gain the following benefits:

Level 1:

within 30'. Use Charisma for your Attack Modifier. On Hit, the beam deals xd6 Radiant Damage where x equals your
Proficiency Bonus. You must finish a short rest before using this trait again. At Level 10 this ability gains Recharge 6, and at
Level 15, Recharge 5-6.

Doppleganger
When a Doppleganger uses its ability to gain the trust of and reproduce with another race, the typical result is a
Changeling. On rare occasions, the child seems almost entirely normal, showing no trace of their Doppleganger lineage
until adulthood. Once their monstrous bloodline boils to the surface, they begin to manifest supernatural powers, powers

Dragons
It is a known fact of common lore that Ancient Dragons love to mingle with mortals, either as close friends, or bitter rivals.
At their core, Dragons have a fascination with mortals and it is not uncommon for them to take one as a mate. The usual
result of this coupling is a Half-Dragon, but occasionally the powerful blood lays dormant for generations until it manifests
in one powerful individual. The different types of dragons all produce different effects.

Giants
While the sheer problem of anatomy makes pairings between Giants and Humanoids seemingly impossible, young Giants
often have affairs with larger humanoids, such as Orcs, Ogres, or Goliaths. This noble bloodline is passed on for
generations, touching all manners of races, big and small alike. Those with the blood of a Giant possess superhuman
strength and toughness, and the mutations as their genes are passed on can often allow their descendents to tap into
supernatural powers that even their ancestors don't fully understand or even possess.

and vulnerable. All of your Ability Scores are decreased by -2, your Max HP is reduced by -10 and you have Weakness to

this damage, their heads explode. You must finish a short rest before using this ability again.
Hag
Hags are masters of manipulation, easily and often disguising their hideous, malformed appearances in order to trick locals
into giving into their whims. Most often the Hag is content with something simple, like taking control of their soul or
taking their first born child. Other times, the Hag needs the seed of a mortal to complete her Coven, giving birth to a new
Hag to fill her ranks. Sometimes this children are born with seemingly no magic powers and are discarded, left to die by the
Hags. But sometimes these children are rescued, or survive thanks to hidden supernatural powers, growing up to be
powerful spellcasters once their powers manifest.

Illithid
These powerful psionic tyrants spread their vile control across every realm possible, traveling from one world to another
with their only purpose to enslave every sentient creature they come across. While the Mind Flayers themselves are
incapable of breeding with other races, in rare cases sentient creatures survive the Ceremorphosis process, the Illithid
Tadpole actually merging with its host, allowing them to live out the rest of their days as normal, but with a trace of Illithid
blood coursing through their veins. If these men and women live on to reproduce, traces of Illithid DNA remain to be
passed on through the generations.

Damage and your Intelligence increases by 5 for 1 minute. If a creature is reduced to 0HP using this ability, they are not
killed, but instead left in a vegetative state, which can only be reversed using Greater Restoration or equivalent magic.
Kuo-Tao
While the very idea of this pairing may seem revolting, occasionally a very drunk sailor or adventurer has sought comfort in
the slippery arms of these creatures. Most of these offspring do not survive childbirth, but every so often, a mostly normal
looking child is born healthy enough to survive to adulthood. These lucky few live to pass on these degenerate genes,
producing odd mutations along the way.
Those with the Kuo-Tao Bloodline gain the following benefits:
Level 1:
Slippery: You have Advantage on ability checks and saving throws made to avoid or escape a Grapple.

choose up to three minor abilities (that the DM must approve of) that your “God” can grant you through prayer or
meditation. These powers mysteriously manifest despite the fact that you're a total loon, coming to being through sheer
power of belief. To manifest these abilities, you must either meditate for an hour or use an Action in combat. Traits gained
through meditation can be more powerful and last longer. In any case, you must finish a long rest before using a particular
ability again. As a side effect of this, you must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom Saving Throw after finishing a long rest. If you
fail, you suffer from Insanity until you finish your next long rest. The product of your insanity is determined by the DM.

multiplied by ½ your Proficiency Bonus. You can also use half of the pool to cast Greater Restoration. Your available
healing points regenerate after you finish a long rest.
Lycanthrope
Lycanthropes, or Were-creatures, are all among us. These creatures are often relatively easy to find, as the supernatural
powers that exist within them are nearly impossible to control, causing mortals to become dangerous and volatile. But
sometimes the Curse doesn't manifest right away, lurking deep inside. This allows the dark powers to manifest slowly and
within the control of the victim, turning their curse into a blessing.
Those with the Lycanthrope Bloodline gain the following benefits:

Level 1:
Animal Instincts: You gain Keen Hearing and Keen Smell.
Beast Form: You can use Shapechange once per short rest. You can only change into the shape of your Lycanthrope

hour. You must finish a long rest before using this ability again.
Merfolk
It is not unusual for sailors and merchants to couple with the beautiful, mysterious aquatic Merfolk. These pairings can
result in a variety of different types of offspring, ranging from Merfolk, to Sirens, to Kelpies. Often times, a child of a
Merfolk can seem absolutely normal, exhibiting no signs of their Merfolk parentage. These individuals can slowly exhibit
traits of their exotic heritage over time.

Skill Bonus: +1 Persuasion

while at least ½ of your body is in water.
Level 15:
Healing Waters: You can channel your affinity for water to bestow upon it healing properties. You can turn a drought of
water into a Potion of Greater Healing a number of times per day equal to your Proficiency Bonus. The water only retains
this power for 24 hours. Also, while fully submersed in water, you can channel the waters around you to heal you for 4 of
your Hit Die. You must finish a Long Rest before using this ability again.
Merfolk pg 3
Level 20:
Poseidon's Gift: You are protected by the ancient God of the Seas. As an Action, your body becomes more amorphous,
taking on properties of water. For 1 minute, you become Resistant to all forms of Damage, except Fire, which you become
Vulnerable to (unless you have Fire Immunity or Protection from another source) and your body quickly regenerates
wounds, healing at a rate of 2d8 HP at the start of each of your turns. While this ability is active, you can use an Action to
release a torrent of water from your body. Any creature within 5' of you must succeed on a DC 12 Strength Saving Throw or
be knocked 5' away, and any space where the ground is made of sand or dirt becomes mud, leaving it as Difficult Terrain.
Once you use this ability, you must finish a Long Rest before using it again.
Arcane Scales: You again another +1 Natural AC and Magic Resistance.

Troll
These terrifying, grotesque creatures occasionally breed with other giants, Orcs, or take Humanoids as their slaves and
force them to sire children. The most typical offspring of this unnatural pairing are the Trollkin, but often the vile blood lies
dormant for generations, occasionally granting the descendents of these unfortunate souls great powers.
Those with the Troll Bloodline gain the following benefits:

Level 1:
Vile Hunter: You gain Keen Smell and have Advantage on tracking (Survival) and Perception checks against creatures that
are below their Max HP.
Regeneration: You regain a number of HP equal to your Character Level at the start of each of your turns. If you take Acid
or Fire damage, this trait doesn't function at the start of your next turn. You can only be knocked unconscious or killed
from damage if you start your turn with 0 HP and do not regenerate. If an attack that would deal Fire or Acid damage hits,
your Regeneration is nullified even if you have Resistance or Immunity and take no damage from the attack.
Level 5:
Thick Hide: You gain +1 Natural AC and Resistance to Piercing Damage.
Level 10:
Savage Attack: Each time you use an Attack Action you can make a second attack at Disadvantage.

limb, are cured of blindness or deafness, or regain 50 HP. You must finish a long rest before using this ability again.
Vampire
Legends tell of Vampire half-breeds walking the earth. These individuals can walk in the light without fear of the sun, but
still possess some of the superhuman speed and strength of the Undead blood coursing through their veins. It is very
unclear how these half-breeds come to be. The most common theory is that an expectant mother is bitten by a Vampire
and turned, but gives birth before the unholy transformation is complete. Normally, these children are stillborn, but every
so often one survives, born between the worlds of life and death, walking among us and harboring dark powers few can
understand.
Those with the Vampire Bloodline gain the following benefits:

Level 1:
Daywalker: You do not suffer from sunlight hypersensitivity, but are still Vulnerable to silver and take 1d6 Acid Damage
from running water.
Regeneration: You regain a number of HP equal to your Character Level at the start of each of your turns. If you take
Radiant damage, are hit by a silvered weapon, or are in running water, this trait doesn't function at the start of your next
turn. If you reach 0 HP, you are knocked unconscious as normal, but as long as you don't take further Radiant damage and
are not in running water, at the start of your next turn you awaken with 1 HP. You can be killed though if, while
unconscious, you are staked through the heart or decapitated with a silver weapon.
Level 5:
Vampiric Grip: You gain Spider Climb and have Advantage on Grapple checks.
Vampiric Charm: You can cast Charm Person innately, using Charisma as your Spellcasting ability. You must finish a long
