Frost Demons[edit]
Frost demons act as both a race and class. Should you choose to play a frost demon, you must take your first level in the frost demon class, but can otherwise multiclass out into a different class. However, it is not possible to multiclass into the composite class due to it being a class given to you by your biology. The frost demon focuses on using energy attacks and telekinesis to control the battlefield while destroying foes, and as they level up, gain the ability to tap into more and more of the power they were born with that was sealed away to keep them from destroying themself. Renowned for their power, dominance, and superiority, the frost demon is a rare but powerful composite class, capable of both control and damage.
Physical Description[edit]

Most frost demons have red pupils and bodies covered in keratinous, typically white, exoskeletons. They also have reptilian features such as a long tails, prehensile three-toed feet, body spikes, and horns. They are adorned with colored gem plates on the head, torso, ankles, wrists, and shoulders. Frost demons can have hair, though this is uncommon.
Frost demons are born with so much energy and power that they must go through four stages, or “forms” as they call them, as they mature. Their first form is small, often with a large head, long tail, and stout body. Their second form is much larger, bulkier, and more imposing, with larger and more pointed horns, like a bull. Then their third form, also called their Assault Form, is about the same size as their second form, but with a great amount of physical mutation, looking strange and bizarre to all other creatures. Their fourth and final form is their strongest, but is smaller than their other forms. They are sleek, lithe, and slender, with an appearance that is simple, yet frightening to those who know what it means. If a frost demon activates all of their power in this form, it bulks up significantly, becoming much more muscular.
History[edit]
Frost demons are a rare, powerful race of aliens from far-away stars. Frost demons can easily find themselves in positions of power due to how easy it is for them to display dominance over other lifeforms. Because of this, the frost demons are a feared race, and one of great authority in their home systems. Many galactic tyrants have been frost demons, so those who do not fear them often treat them with disrespect and discrimination.
Society[edit]
Frost Demons are ruled by a king or queen, who can hold sway over entire galaxies if they play their cards right and display enough strength. They are proud, frightening, and majestic, though they are not often noble. Frost Demons are powerful enough that they rarely train, instead relying on the power they have had since birth. Frost Demons are small enough in population that encountering them in large groups is almost impossible; instead, they are often raised by only their direct family, moving on to find a mate and likely a planet or several to rule once they grow older.
Frost Demon Names[edit]
Frost demon names always have something to do with ice, the cold, or refrigeration. Frost Demon names are unigender because of this.
Names: Frieza (Freezer), Coola (Cooler), Chilled, Cold, Frost, Froze, Ais, Fridgi, Polarri, Chilla,
Frost Demon Traits[edit]
A powerful race of megalomaniacs.
Ability Score Increase. The frost demons are lightweight, fast, and very charismatic. Your Dexterity score increases by 2, and your Charisma score increases by 1.
Age. A frost demon reaches maturity by 16 and can live to be up to 400, only showing signs of aging in their late 300's.
Alignment. Frost demons have no set alignment as a whole, but the majority tend to be evil, caring only for their own agenda and pride, and most have a distaste for chaos, leaning towards lawful or neutral alignments.
Size. Frost demons vary widely in height and build, but a frost demon taller than 6'0" is very rare. Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Prehensile Tail. You have a long tail, longer than either of your arms and long enough to grab something from behind you and hold it above and in front of you.
You can use the tail as a bonus action to make a Medium-sized or smaller creature make a Dexterity saving throw (DC: 8+ your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier); if a creature fails the turn it is "grabbed".
If you move at your flying speed higher than the creature's altitude, it will suffocate, taking 1d8 + your Strength modifier damage at the start of each of its turns, and will have disadvantage on attack rolls (if the creature can fly, it will only take damage). Having a prehensile tail gives proficiency in the Acrobatics skill. Your tail can also be used to make unarmed strike, but it may not carry weapons.
Built for Space. Frost demons don't require oxygen and are adapted to high altitude, extreme heat, and extreme cold as described in chapter 5 of the Dungeon Masters Guide. Thusly, they can survive in the vacuum of space without any duress.
Incredible Durability. Frost demons are far more durable than any other flesh and blood race, even being able to survive bifurcation and vivisection. When you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can drop to 1 hit point instead. You can’t use this feature again until you finish a long rest.
Composite Class. If you are a frost demon, frost demon is both your class and your race. You can multiclass out of the frost demon class, but cannot multiclass into it, as it requires being a frost demon.
Languages. You can speak, read and write, Common, Glaerian, and one other language of your choice. The frost demon native language, Glaerian, uses many harsh syllables and phonetics. It uses the Sylvan script.
