Special Traits

  • Innate Spellcasting. The cambion’s innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 13, +5 to hit with spell attacks). The cambion can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: 2/day each: charm person (3rd-level), command, false life Sadistic Strike. The cambion scores a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20 when making a weapon attack.

Actions

  • Multiattack. The cambion attacks twice.
  • Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6+2) slashing damage.
  • Scimitar. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d8+2) slashing damage.

When an incubus (or in more grisly occurrences, a succubus) mates with a creature while in the Abyss their doomed paramour (whether female or male) gives birth to a half-breed: the cambion. These outcasts are hated by both of their kinfolk and live as exiles, whatever semblance of good that might have once been in them snuffed out by the cruelties they suffer for the circumstances of their cursed existence.
