Homebrew Dolls Species Details
Dolls awaken full conscious and aware of the icy cold of their new bodies. In some cases, they retain the memories of the souls bound to the form, in others they are a blank slate. while a unique being, the Dolls have no specific land that they hail from, except wherever they are when they awaken. though the binding process varies from Doll to Doll no two are ever the same. Dolls are immune to extreme climates and inclement weather. Their bodies need not eat, drink, nor sleep and regain health and abilities from entering a dormant state where they are completely motionless and blind but can still hear the environment around them (Dolls gain 40 feet of Blind Sight while dormant). Dolls also have the ability to change and modify their bodies with the proper training and resources. while being resistant to cold and heat Dolls suffer from an initial lack of durability, at first their bodies are very fragile and can be broke or even shattered, meaning death to a Doll. Over time Dolls are able to strengthen their bodies to be more durable but serious injuries will leave permeant cracks on them.
Dolls Traits
Partial UndeadElemental Resistance
As a result of Dolls being a soul in a porcelain body they have resistance to damage resulting from cold and heat damage whether the damage comes from an attack or the elements. Dolls take half damage from attacks. Dolls can withstand the elements from weather such as freezing blizzards and scorching desert heat with no adverse effects.
Bodily Augmentation
Dolls have the ability to augment parts of their bodies with tools, weapons, arcane enchantments or even armor. With this Dolls are able to strengthen themselves beyond what their initially frail bodies could do and withstand before. With augmentation Dolls can become masters of disguise, excellent spies or even lethal assassins.
Soul Transference
When a Doll becomes more in tune with it's body and soul the Doll is able to transfer it's soul or the soul of a willing creature into an inanimate object. Over the course of 1 hour the Doll can focus and leave its original body and possess an object (including corpses). The Doll can travel around in its new temporary body for up to 5 hours until its soul is shunted back to the original body, however if the Doll possess a corpse and doesn't return to its original body before the 5 hours are up the soul is trapped in the rapidly rotting corpse and will have to return to its original body and physically touch the original to safely return. if a Doll soul fails to return to its original body before the corpse decays to dust the soul will immediately be cast into the Astral Sea, never to be seen again.
A Doll may transfer it's souls to another body of a soulless creature or humanoid (including organic and inorganic lifeforms) if that body is still living and has not suffered damage that will result in death. Dolls can also use this ability on a willing creature to transfer that soul into a new body if the same conditions are met.
Soul Strengthening
A Doll is able to fortify and strengthen it's own soul by consuming a soul of a fallen enemy. This ability is dangerous and will result in the Dolls soul being overtaken or corrupted if not used carefully. if a doll tries to consume a soul that is stronger than its own (2 levels or higher) then the Doll will have to make a series of Wisdom saving throws (DC 13) equal to the levels of the soul they are trying to consume (2 saves for 2 levels higher, 3 for 3 and so on). If half the saves are failed, the Doll will be corrupted and suffer 1d6 Psychic Damage for every failed save. If the Doll succeeds all save the doll gains 1d8 permanent additional health to their total.
