Homebrew Clank Species Details

Like organic beings, their bodies come in a wide array of sizes and may change and adapt based on time and need. Because of their custom construction, many clanks have highly specialized physical features. Examples include clawed hands for grasping, wheels for movement, or built-in weaponry. Many clanks are known to embrace an individual’s desires for body modifications—including those based in style as well as function—and members of other ancestries might turn to clank artisans to construct highly customized mobility aids and physical adornments. Other ancestries can create clanks, even using their own physical features as inspiration, but it’s also common for clanks to build one another. A clank's lifespan extends as long as they're able to acquire or craft new parts, making their physical form effectively immortal. That said, their minds are subject to the effects of time and will deteriorate as the magic that powers them loses potency.
