Homebrew Android Species Details

Artificial Human: Their most notable trait. The difference between them and normal humans is Androids are often depicted as unusually pale (almost white), with unnatural hair colors and lines on them.

Discard and Draw: Starfinder androids don't have the Nanite Surge ability of the Androffan/Numerian androids of the past. Instead, they have a built-in armor upgrade slot.

Mechanical Lifeforms: Androids are Ridiculously Human Robots, "bleed" watery coolant, and even have souls. Multiple times reinforce that Androids are purely synthetic Artificial Humans, but respond to healing magic and have souls as organic creatures do. They breathe and eat much as humans do, but through artificial organs, and they circulate their healing nanites like blood through their bodies via pale fluids. They are inexhaustible, immune to diseases and resistant to other biological effects, and fortified against mental effects.

Ridiculously Human Robots: They can generally pass as human despite "awkward mannerisms" (though some do go for more obvious mechanical features), but bleed watery coolant. Moreover, they have souls.

Slave Race: What they originally were, and what some places still use them as.

Tron Lines: These cover their bodies, though they can be more or less obvious depending on how much energy their systems need to be channeling at a given time.

Who Wants to Live Forever?: Androids are functionally immortal as long as they have proper maintenance, but most will willingly undergo Renewal after around a century.

Android Traits

Your Android character has the following traits. A few of the traits give you a choice; consider how your choice reflects the purpose for which your character was built.

Ability Score Increase

Your Constitution score increases by 2, and one other ability score of your choice increases by 1.

Age

A typical android is between two and thirty years old. Androids are functionally immortal as long as they have proper maintenance, but most will willingly undergo Renewal after around a century; so far, androids have shown no signs of deterioration due to age. You are immune to magical aging effects.

Alignment

Most warforged take comfort in order and discipline, tending toward law and neutrality. But some have absorbed the morality, or lack thereof, of the beings with which they served.

Size

Your size is Medium. To set your height and weight randomly, start with rolling a size modifier:

Size modifier = 2d6

Height = 5 feet + 10 inches + your size modifier in inches

Weight in pounds = 270 + (4 × your size modifier)

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Constructed Resilience

You were created to have remarkable fortitude, represented by the following benefits:

• You have advantage on saving throws against being poisoned, and you have resistance to poison damage.
• You are immune to disease.
• Magic can’t put you to sleep.

Integrated Protection

Your body has built-in defensive layers, which can be enhanced with armor:

• You gain a +1 bonus to Armor Class.
• You can don only armor with which you have proficiency. To don armor other than a shield, you must incorporate it into your body over the course of 1 hour, during which you remain in contact with the armor. To doff armor, you must spend 1 hour removing it. You can rest while donning or doffing armor in this way.
• While you live, the armor incorporated into your body can’t be removed against your will.

Specialized Design

You gain one skill proficiency and one tool proficiency of your choice.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common and one other language of your choice.
