Racial Features

Darkvision

You can see in dim light within 60 feet of yourself as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You discern colors in that darkness only as shades of gray.

Usage: N/A

Rival's Surge

You can take the Dash action as a Bonus Action. When you do so, you gain Temporary Hit Points equal to your Proficiency Bonus. You can use this trait a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Short or Long Rest.

Usage: Proficiency Bonus times per Short or Long Rest

Ego's Defiance

You have Advantage on saving throws you make to avoid or end the Frightened or Charmed condition. Your unyielding self-regard makes it difficult for others to cow or beguile you.

Usage: N/A

Ambitious Presence

You gain proficiency in the Intimidation skill. In addition, when you make a Charisma (Intimidation) check contested by a creature that can see you, you can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10 once per Short Rest, reflecting your instinctive drive to dominate any rivalry.

Usage: Special Intimidation floor once per Short Rest

Rules Compatibility

Primary Ruleset D&D 5.5 / SRD 5.2
Compatible Rulesets D&D 5.5 / SRD 5.2, D&D 5e / SRD 5.1
Ability Scores Base species grants no automatic increases; each lineage supplies a fixed +2/+1 package (or DM may allow the player to assign the +2 and +1 freely among abilities as with flexible SRD 5.2 species).
Balance Notes Total ASI budget is exactly +3 per lineage combination with no single score above +2. Active traits use limited PB or rest-based charges comparable to Orc Adrenaline Rush or Dragonborn Breath Weapon. No flight, innate multi-spellcasting, or stacked resistances at level 1.
