Xiezijing Tiefling (5e Subrace)
Tiefling Subrace[edit]
Your fiendish heritage comes from Xiezijing, the Scorpion Demoness, who ruled Venom Mountain. She was a giant, lute-sized scorpion who obtained magical powers by practicing Taoist arts for years. She once stung the Buddha while he was reciting scriptures, and once abducted the monk Tang Sanzang.
You have chitinous carapace around parts of your body, and a venomous stinger tail like that of a scorpion.
Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score increases by 1.
Legacy of Venom Mountain. You know the venomous sting cantrip. Once you reach 3rd level, you can cast the jump spell. Once you reach 5th level, you can cast the crippling pain 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).
