Homebrew Bould Species Details
A being of unrivalled power, Boulder Golems, shortened to Boulds, are constructs that gained free will, thoughts and emotions either from the bond with their creator being broken or a defect in the spell that made them.
While Boulds are usually created for protection or servitude, they are sometimes created with full independence, meaning they have the choice to do or be whatever they want from the moment they are created, though this occurs rarely.
Boulds are fully aware of their formidable strength. They tend to avoid conflict entirely so as to not harm anyone, making them an extremely peaceful race. However, if a Boulds feels as though themselves, their home, or whomever they may consider "friends and family" are in danger, they will stop at nothing until the threat is eliminated.
Boulds live for a very long time, though they are not immortal. The average Bould can live for about 10,000 years, but this can be greater or lesser depending on their environment, their bond with their master(s), their size, or even what kind of stone they're made of. Some Boulds have been known to live for millions of years.
Boulds can reproduce by infusing natural stone with enough of their own magical essence. However, this ability can be removed by a Boulds creator, either at the time of creation or later, as long as the Bould remains under the creator's command. Once a Bould becomes independent, it can decide whether to keep this ability or remove it themselves. A Bould created by another Bould will always maintain this ability once it's created until it decides otherwise.

- When you are killed, a friendly magic user (player or NPC) can choose to expend a number of spell slots to resurrect you with a certain amount of Hit Points equal to 10 x the number of spell slots expended. For example, 3 spell slots equals 30 Hit Points. The base number is increased to 20 for spell slots of the 4th level or higher. This can only be done once.
- You can use a Bonus Action to imbue your weapons with some of your magic essence by sacrificing a number of Hit Points.
