Homebrew Android Species Details

Androids are intricately designed machines. With specialized smooth design, Androids are perhaps one of the most knowledgeable races when it comes to sheer intelligence. these races have no natural end to their lifespan, and are designed as humanoids, although they can transfer their consciousnesses to other mechanical bodies over the course of a day. they tend to serve a specific purpose that they were created for, and incorporate that purpose into everything they can. Many are initially created as stationary machines of Gargantuan size, connected to an even larger facility in service of their goal. In this form, they have much larger knowledge bases to handle far greater amounts of information, allowing for nigh infinite intelligence. However, in their mobile humanoid form, they are more bare bones to allow for greater performance on their tasks- though their developed personalities are still intact. In this form, Androids can speak, write, and understand common, and most can understand 2 other languages as well.

Android Traits

Though they can be built to serve any purpose, Androids typically have the following similarities:

Designed for a Task

increases intelligence by 2, and any other Ability Score of your choice by 1.

Armor Shell

provides +1 AC, and resistance to piercing damage.

Specialized Role

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

 

System Reboot

 Rather than using traditional level ups, an Android can put off a level up until a Long Rest, levels taking the form of Software Updates. When taking a long rest, an Android spends 6 hours in a "shut-down" state, in which it cannot process or perceive it's surroundings and remains stationary until it either recharges its battery, or completes its updates.

-You are immune to poison
-You don’t need to eat, drink, or breathe.
-You are immune to disease.
-Magic can’t put you to sleep.
