A mind-flayer player race where they can be any alignment but reject the evil of their kind, forever fighting for those who revile them... you know, just like the other from-evil player races, except with the whole psionic-ish stuff.

Human. Male. Possibly. Don't be a divider. My characters' backgrounds are written like instruction manuals rather than stories. My opinion and preferences don't mean you're wrong. I am 99.7603% convinced that the digital dice are messing with me. I roll high when nobody's looking and low when anyone else can see.🎲 “It's a bit early to be thinking about an epitaph. No?” will be my epitaph.
All (DEX) Acrobatics checks come with a secondary CON check to whether the character experiences motion sickness and vomits all over the place unless the character took the Tumbler feat which only makes a character immune to CON checks only when used for Acrobatics check.

Oh, I had a 2nd Edition Xaosect wild mage with a spell like that: Irresistible Debilitating Wedgie of Doom.
Let's just say that wearing full plate to a fight with someone who had that spell prepared was the epitome of bad ideas. As was casting that spell on an archfiend.
Good times.

Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.

If a creature - including a PC - begins its turn with 0 HP without regeneration, the creature is dead. No death saves.
A creature - including PC - that begins its turn with 1 HP is incapacitated regardless to regeneration excluding only undead.
The only way to knock a creature unconscious with damage without killing it is to reduce the creature to exactly 1 HP and undead cannot be knocked unconscious in that manner.
Resistances are now immunities. (Immunities are still immunities.)
Damage of a vulnerable type requires a DC CON save against the amount of damage done by that damage type or the creature dies. (12 points of fire damage on a fire-vulnerable creature with 1800HP but it rolls a total of 11 on the CON save, the creature dies.) On a successful save, the HP of the vulnerable creature is reduced to the difference between the save and the check plus one. If the result is 1 HP, the creature is incapacitated.
Rolling a natural 20 for an attack is an instant kill.
Rolling a natural 1 for an attack does half damage to a random ally within range or to the PC of no allies are within range.

Building your castle with supplies from Gnome Depot.
Roll on wild magic surge table every time you use any appliance.
Lighting a sconce can trigger a trap door, cause an explosion, start an automated calliope hidden somewhere behind a wall, or splatter the creature lighting the sconce with smelly bright-pink dye.
Passing through the main entrance activates two metal golems that will approach those who entered, greet them, and take their hats and coats - by force if the creature is unwilling to part with them. If the creature has no hat or cloak, the golems will take a the next item available such as a tunic, a scalp, or skin from the torso. The golems will unceremoniously deposit all gathered items in a corner of the entry room and, then, return to where they were initially positioned and deactivate.
Chairs attempt to move appropriately to assist with seating at a table. When approaching a chair regardless of the intent to sit, roll a d6. On an even number, the chair moves appropriately. On an odd number, the chair moves incorrectly and injures the person near it for 1d4+1 damage.
The bell pulls about the castle also serve as a defense for the castle. Multiple pulls on a single bell pull before dawn of the following morning has a 50% chance of triggering a siege state, trapping all occupants inside their current rooms by closing all portals - windows, doors, waiters, holes in privies, and vents - between rooms with solid stone. Breathing creatures have 1 hour of air per 5 cubic feet in their current room subtracting objects occupying space and dividing the air by the number of breathing occupants. The trapdoor effect from a sconce will not trigger. There is no way to release the castle from the siege state.
