Stone by Day, Warriors by Night

Ability Score Increase

Powerful Fighters, Gargoyles have incredibly tough bodies and superb strength. But as they are immobile inanimate stone statues by day, they do not have the time for study and learning. 

Gliding

A Gargoyle's wings spread out wide and allow them to fall much more slowly with average manueverability. For ever 5 feet they fall, their wings carry them 30 feet forward. This is a concious choice as one could fodl their wings down to fall faster if needed. They are able to glide in armor as long as they are proficient. It is possible to glide while carrying someone, or a load, as long as it is within their encumbrance. 

Claws

Born with excellent slashing and peircing weapons, Gargoyles have proficieny with these weapons. As slashing and Piercing weapons, they deal 1d6 damage. If they are using thier claws as blunt weapons, it is as a normal unarmed strike. These claws also give them Advantage on Athletics (Climbing) (Str) Checks done on any non metal solid surface.

Spell of Living Stone

During the day time, Gargoyles become stone statues of exquisite detail. All items they are carrying becomes stone and do not offer magical properties to the creature. The statue has an AC of 10, Immunity to piercing, poison, and acid damage, resistance to slashing and all other types of energy, and HP equal to 5 times their level. A Stone Statue Gargoyle Can be enchanted while as a statue, but will not benefit from said enchantment while Flash. The statue must remain a statue during the entire eight hours of work per day. If they turn to flesh during the work, all work previously done will be lost. Their form can only be enchanted by a single spell of level equal to (Level - 2)/2 (rounded down). So a 6th level Gargoyle has 30 HP and can be enchanted with a single 2nd level spell.
