Created through magical means, Gingerbread Golems don’t age in the traditional sense. They remain in their prime as long as their magic remains intact, usually lasting a few decades. Once the magic fades, they may begin to crumble unless re-enchanted.

As a construct of dough and frosting, you are immune to poison damage and the poisoned condition. You do not require food, drink, or sleep. During a short rest, you can “consume” ingredients such as sugar or flour to heal, regaining hit points equal to your proficiency bonus (usable once per long rest).

Gumdrop Resilience

Spice Rage

While raging, you release a fiery, spiced aura in a 10-foot radius. Creatures of your choice within this area must make a Constitution saving throw (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier) or take 1d4 fire damage.
