Homebrew Straw-Made Species Details
Born from an uncountable number of circumstances involving wild magic the Straw-Made are living instances of the guardians of our crops. While a great many have found happiness in the simple life of crop-guarding, some have chosen- or were forced- to leave behind their former not-lives in search of a higher purpose. As the name suggests, their insides are typically entirely straw or hay, although, they can truly be made any other material. Their exteriors are formed of cloth, burlap, or any other material that someone managed to fashion into a field guardian. They are malleable, but durable creatures who seek to find their own field to plant and protect.

Age

Their true age depends on what point they were brought to life. Freshly created Straw-Made brought to life may act childish in nature, while Straw-Made brought to life after many years may act more wise.

Posted Dec 2, 2024I think it would be a good idea to add sentry's rest, because all things need some sorta rest for dnd to work, and a trait that gives a proficiency would help the balance a bit.
