Homebrew Robot Species Details

Robots are otherworldly constructs who have traveled through the planes from another time and dimension. You have no ability to cross back to your world, yet you constantly seek to get home, wherever that is, which you don't know. Being an entity of logic, this presents you a huge logical dilemma and robots don't prefer to discuss this with anyone. Instead, you have become sentient and self-repairing to your now defunct programming. You have the ability to alter your program slightly every week, trying to find your way through life. You have developed nano-technology in your circuits that slowly repair broken components. You seek out processed metal and silicon at any opportunity to keep as spare building materials.

Robots have the ability to imitate not only weapons combat by reprogramming and upgrading their bodies, but they can "learn" spells as any character could by replicating the effects of any spell. Thus, caster classes are not impossible to be played by a robot.

Robot Traits

Infinitely varied mechanical constructs comprised of decades of advanced technology. The physical description of the robot you make, however, is entirely up to you and your DM.

Ability Score Increase

Your Constitution score increases by 2.

Construct Nature

You are a construct, not a humanoid. You don't need to breathe, eat, or drink, but you do need to enter a shut-down period of 4 hours to gain the benefits of a long rest.

Armored Skin

Your AC while not wearing armor is equal to 13 + your Dexterity modifier. You also have resistance to non-magical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.

Darkvision

You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Mechanical

You are immune to disease and the charmed and poisoned conditions.

Supercharge

Once per day you can supercharge yourself, giving yourself advantage on attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks for 1 minute.

Languages

You can read, speak, and write Common as well as one other language.
