Homebrew:Curseborn

(OOC: This is an implementation of the ashborn race from The Crooked Moon)

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.

You have a tail stinger you can use to make unarmed strikes using your Strength or Dexterity (your choice) for attack and damage rolls. On a hit, you deal 1d4 piercing damage, and you can deal an extra 1d6 poison damage. You can deal this extra damage a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. You regain one expended use when you finish a short rest, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
