Homebrew Gargoyle Species Details

Gargoyles are indistinguishable from stone statues...
until they move. In Eberron, the first gargoyles were
carved by Dhakaani goblins, but it was the daelkyr
Orlassk who brought them to life. The oldest gargoyles
have been in a state of torpor for thousands of years.
Now they have risen to carve out a place of their own in the new nation of Droaam.

Gargoyles are humanoids carved from stone.
The horned, winged form often associated with the
gargoyle is a common design; in Eberron the Dhakaani
placed these fierce figures on fortresses. However,
gargoyles don’t have to have horns or wings, and they
can alter their form over time. Gargoyles reproduce
by imbuing a sliver of their life force into a stone and
burying it in gravel; this seed assimilates mass from
the loose stone and builds its final form.

Gargoyles have no need of food or drink. They
are nearly immune to the passage of time and can
remain standing still indefinitely. For any gargoyle,
a fundamental question is why they choose to move
at all. What drives them? There are a few common
archetypes.

False Appearance

While you remain motionless, you are indistinguishable from an inanimate statue of a gargoyle. You must maintain concentration during that time as if you were casting a spell.

Sentry’s Rest

You can finish a Long Rest in 4 hours if you spend those hours in an inactive, motionless, meditative state. While meditating, you can dream in a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.

Stoneskin

Being made of stone, your skin is extremely resilient. While you are not wearing armor, your Armor Class equals 13 + your Dexterity modifier. You can't use this feature if you're wearing armor.
