Homebrew Druidic Automaton Species Details

The Druidic Automaton’s were built to fight for the forest, to protect it. Built out of the nature, made by the Druid Circle of the Guardians of the Xyranxic Forest. While the first Druidic Automaton’s were simply suits of armor for fey creature like Fairy’s, or Pixies, after 140 generations of Druidic Automaton’s they gained symbiotic with the nature spirits, now when a pixie or other nature spirit is “fizzling out” it becomes one with these creatures now becoming a new creature. An unexpected breakthrough produced sapient Guardians, giving rise to what some have only grudgingly accepted as a new species. Druidic Automaton’s are made from wood, leaves, moss, and bone, but they can feel pain and emotion. Built as Gaurdians of the Xyranxic forest, they must now find a purpose beyond this, as the forest is now gone. A Druidic Automaton can be a steadfast ally, a healer of wounds, or a Guardian that would save you at all cost.

Living Tree

Druidic Automaton’s are formed from of organic materials, and the essence of a dying nature spirit. Root cords infused with Druidic magic serve as their muscles, wrapped around a framework of wood, or bone. Armored plates form a protective outer shell and reinforce joints. Beyond these common elements of Druidic Automaton design, the precise materials and build of a Druidic Automaton vary based on the purpose for which it was designed.

Although they were manufactured, Druidic Automaton are living humanoids. Resting, healing magic, and the Medicine skill all provide the same benefits to Druidic Automaton that they do to other humanoids.

Druidic Automaton Personality

The Druidic Automaton were built to Guard and Protect nature. For most of their existence, Druidic Automaton had a clearly defined function and were encouraged to focus purely on that role. The disappearance of the Xyranxic forest gave them freedom, but many still struggle both to find a place in the world and to relate to the creatures who created them.

The typical Druidic Automaton shows little emotion. Many Druidic Automaton embrace a concrete purpose — such as protecting allies, completing a contract, or exploring a land — and embrace this task as they once did. However, there are Druidic Automaton who delight in exploring their feelings, their freedom, and their relationships with others. Most Druidic Automaton have no interest in religion outside the Fey, but some embrace faith and mysticism, seeking higher purpose and deeper meaning.

The typical Druidic Automaton has a sexless body shape. Modt Druidic Automaton ignore the concept of gender entirely.
