[[#Appearance]] > 2. [[#Traits and Abilities]] > 3. [[#History]] > 4. [[#Society]] # Appearance Riesz's short stature ranges from slight to stout, but this makes them no less dangerous, for each Reisz 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, and they typically live around 50 years. # Traits and Abilities **Ashen Legacy**. You know the Minor Illusion cantrip. Additionally, starting at character level 3 you always have the Charm Person spell prepared, and starting at character level 5 you always have the Invisibility spell prepared. You can cast them each once without a spell slot, and you regain the ability to cast them in that way when you finish a Long Rest. You can also cast them using any spell slots you have of the appropriate level. Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for the spells you cast with this trait (choose the ability when you select this species). **Darkvision**. You have Darkvision with a range of 60 feet. **Doria's Fortune**. When you’re hit by an attack roll that isn’t a Critical Hit, you can take a Reaction to magically cause the attack to miss you, and a creature of your choice within 5 feet of you takes Force damage equal to your Proficiency Bonus. Once you use this trait, you can’t do so again until you finish a Short or Long Rest. **Scorpion Sting**. 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. When you reach character level 10, this extra damage increases to 2d6. # History # Society Riesz are native to [[Doria]], typically coalescing from the sulfuric ash of the moon’s volcanoes. Infused with the fiery power of [[Doria]], this folk has managed to survive and even prosper in the most hostile environments through guile, boldness, and industriousness. Said to be favored by fortune itself, Riesz count on luck to twist the balance in the most dire of situations.
