Asura Descandant Traits

While Asura Descendants are born from humans, their slightly modified soul shifts their traits, granting them different abilities.

Ability Score Increase. One ability score of your choice increases by 2, and another ability score of your choice increases by 1.

Age. Asura Descendants age at the same rate as humans, although they tend to live a few decades longer.

Alignment. Due to the duality of Asuras, Asura Descendants tend towards extremes of good and evil. Most tend to be chaotic, although lawful or neutral Descendants are not unheard of.

Size. Asura Descendants are similar in build to humans. Your size is Medium.

Speed. You have a base walking speed of 30 feet.

Darkvision. Due to your heritage, you have better vision in darkness. You can see within dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim light. The only color you can discern in darkness is the one related to your Elemental Affinity, which seems pronounced and clear.

Languages. You can speak Common, you choice of Celestial, Abyssal, or Infernal, and one language of your choice.

Arms of Asura. You have a pair of Arms that float behind your back, at about the height of your shoulder blades. Each pair of Arms have the same carrying capacity and ability to push, drag, and lift as you. When you push, drag, or lift, You can use these Arms along with your regular arms, effectively doubling the amount you can push, drag, or lift. When you gain another pair, the amount is effectively tripled, while with the third pair, the amount is effectively quadrupled.

You can use the Arms to use multiple tools or nonmagical items at once. For example, you could be carving a wood figurine with one pair of arms while forging a sword with another. However, the multitasking scatters your attention, and time spent using the tools or items is doubled. The amount of tools or nonmagical items you can use at once equals the number of pairs of arms you have (2 arms make a pair), including your flesh-and-blood arms.

When you use a bonus action to engage in two-weapon fighting, you can do so even if the weapons you are using do not have the light property. If you take the Dual Wielder feat, it now allows you to use weapons with the two-handed property in two-weapon fighting. This includes ranged weapons.

Starting from 9th level, you can make another additional attack with a weapon you have not yet used this turn when engaging in two-weapon fighting, to a total of 3 per turn. You do not add your ability score modifier to the third attack unless it is negative, even if you have the Two-Weapon Fighting Fighting Style.

You gain an extra Arm at 5th, 9th, 13th, and 17th levels.

Elemental Affinity. Choose an elemental affinity for your Arms. This determines the appearance and color of your Arms, as well as the elemental damage used in Asura Descendant features.
