About this ancestry

This a Crooked Moon Ancestry, converted from the 5e Species.

Ashborn are an imp-like species native to Chernabos, typically coalescing from the sulfuric ash of the province’s hellfire and brimstone volcanoes. Infused with the fiendish power of the Hells, this folk has managed to survive and even prosper in the barrens and badlands of the province through guile, boldness, and industriousness. Said to be favored by fortune itself, ashborn count on luck to twist the balance in the most dire of situations.

Their short stature ranges from slight to stout, but this makes them no less dangerous, for each ashborn has a venomous tail resembling a scorpion’s, always ready to strike. They sport horns and skin tones in varying shades of red and gray that reflect their devilish origin, and they typically live 100 years.
