Imp Race

Playable Imp Race Imps were minor devils that served to tempt mortals to evil. As a playable Imp race, you gain bonuses to Dexterity and Charisma, darkvision, resistance to fire damage, the ability to polymorph into small beasts, and other traits balancing their infernal nature for gameplay. Imps stand around 2 feet tall, can speak Common and Infernal, and have advantage on saving throws against magic while retaining abilities like a poisonous stinger and potential flight to reflect their fiendish origins.
