Two ability scores of your choice increase by 1.

Your apparent age is reflected in the maintenance of your Anchor. If it's kept like new, you appear young. If it's allowed to endure some wear and tear, you appear older. Take care, however--damaged objects carry more risk of breaking.

Anchorbound tend to no particular alignment. The best and worst are found among them.

Anchorbound can share the appearance of the members of any race, but nothing more, ranging in size anywhere from a Gnome's 3 feet to a Goliath's 8. Regardless of where you fall on this scale, your size is Medium.

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Though you are corporeal, your status as a spirit (however bound) grants you superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

As a spirit bound to a material object, you are granted a measure of resilience over the living.

• You are immune to disease.
• You don't need to eat, drink, or sleep.
• You can retreat into or project from your Anchor at will as an Action.
• While housed in your Anchor, you do not need to breathe.
• While housed in your Anchor, it can be used as normal by others, provided they have Proficiency with the item if required.
• While housed in your Anchor and not unconscious or incapacitated, you are able to speak freely with those around you, provided they understand the language you're speaking.

However, this bond comes with some drawbacks, as well.

• Ingestible healing items have no effect on you (e.g. Potions of Healing, Goodberry).
• You must stay within 100 ft of and on the same plane as your Anchor. If you are outside of this radius, you are forced to retreat into your Anchor so that you may retrieve it.
• You cannot be separated from your Anchor by magical means, whether to break the bond or transfer it to another object, short of a Wish spell.
• While housed in your Anchor, you cannot take Actions, Bonus Actions, or Reactions except to project from your Anchor, and your movement speed is reduced to 0.
• While housed in your Anchor, it is vulnerable to attack. If it is broken, you die.
• If your corporeal form takes damage that would kill you instantly, or you fail your death save, your Anchor breaks and you die.

While housed in your Anchor, your vision is severely limited due to your lack of eyes. However, you are granted magical perception of your surroundings up to a 5 ft radius and can tell when another creature enters this space.

While you do not need to sleep, you must spend no less than 6 hours housed in your Anchor to gain the benefit of a Long Rest.

If you are reduced to 0 HP in battle, are stable, and are not healed by magical (non-ingestible) means, you return to consciousness following a Long Rest.

You can speak, read, and write Common and one other language of your choice.
