Vashtorr Tiefling (5e Subrace)
Tiefling Subrace[edit]
You carry the daemonic influence of the daemon ruler of the Forge of Souls, Vashtorr. You are drawn to artisanry and machinery, and thoughts of metal and flesh bound together in harmony always float in your subconscious. The daemonic influence of your bloodline may have originated due to the effects of a daemonic invasion, an ancestor being part of the Cult of the Arkifane, or at one point exposure to the Forge of Souls.
Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence score increases by 1.
Legacy of the Arkifane. You know the mending cantrip. Once you reach 3rd level, you can cast the unseen servant spell once. Once you reach 5th level, you can cast the heat metal spell once. You must finish a long rest to cast one of these spells again with this trait. Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells when you cast them with this trait (choose when you select this race).
Tinker. You have proficiency with tinker's tools. Using those tools, you can spend 1 hour and 10 gp worth of materials to construct a Tiny clockwork device (AC 5, 1 hp). The device ceases to function after 24 hours (unless you spend 1 hour repairing it to keep the device functioning), or when you use your action to dismantle it; at that time, you can reclaim the materials used to create it. You can have up to three such devices active at a time. When you create a device, choose one of the following options:
Clockwork Toy. This toy is a clockwork animal, monster, or person, such as a frog, mouse, bird, dragon, or soldier. When placed on the ground, the toy moves 5 feet across the ground on each of your turns in a random direction. It makes noises as appropriate to the creature it represents.
Fire Starter. The device produces a miniature flame, which you can use to light a candle, torch, or campfire. Using the device requires your action.
Music Box. When opened, this music box plays a single song at a moderate volume. The box stops playing when it reaches the song's end or when it is closed.
At your DM's discretion, you may make other objects with effects similar in power to these. The prestidigitation cantrip is a good baseline for such effects.
