Homebrew Android Species Details
Androids are formed using metal, computer parts, and other non-organic materials. They naturally appear robotic, but many use a holographic shell to appear organic. Although they are not organic, androids are living humanoids and benefit from resting, healing magic, and the Medicine skill.
Androids were originally created as mindless servants. However, as technology advanced, androids began to gain sentience and gained rights and autonomy in many parts of the multiverse.
