Homebrew 🟆 Mechanoid Species Details

The more advanced cousin of the warforged, Mechanoid have abandoned their dependence on the arcane for pure technological biology. These humanoids are made from metal, complex circuitry and harbor a human-like sentience.  They have special programming or body parts designed to aid them in the task or job they were designed to do, but that doesn't mean they are restricted just to that one thing. Mechanoids are varied and are seen all throughout the galaxy.

🟆 Mechanoid Traits

As a Mechanoid, you have these special traits.

Technological Construct

As a Mechanoid, your creature type is Construct. You don't need to eat or breathe, and you only need to spend 4 hours in a dormant self-charging state to take a long rest. 

Defined Function

You were constructed by something or someone for a specific purpose and are outfitted with an enhancement to suit.
