Homebrew Brewfellow Species Details

Brewfellows are animated cauldrons created with witch's magic. They were once exclusively used for assisting witches around their dens, but have recently begun showing interest in the wide variety of hobbies the island has to offer. While brewfellows are usually metal cauldrons, islanders have seen many different bowl-shaped materials constructed into walking and talking brewfellows.

The First Brewfellow

About 30 years ago, In an effort to increase efficiency around their coven, a witch cast a spell to animate her cauldron to move on it's own, following her around their den. This became a trend among witches, with many legged cauldrons running around various covens around the island. One day, the cauldron looked outside at a group of children playing, and felt a yearning to play with them. Learning the ability to speak by flapping his lid, he asked its witch for a life outside of the den. Patting it on its lid, the witch agreed to set it off onto a life of adventure.

Since then, brewfellows can be seen all around the island running shops, flying kites, and slaying great beasts. However, many brewfellows are more than happy to spend their lives assisting their witches with a bubbling brew.

A Crafted Companion

Brewfellows first appeared in Obojima as witches needed to easily create potions while travelling the island. Common uses for the Brewfellows include potion creation, cooking meals, purifying water, hauling goods, grinding ingredients, protecting their creators, and even containing the Corruption.

A brewfellow's physical features may vary depending on the material they're made of, but they often have arms & legs resembling humanoids, as well as a lid that allows them to speak. They are often made of stone, metal, wood, pumpkins, glass, or even first-age technology. Even the most brittle of materials in their bodies become incredibly sturdy when these creatures are made, as the magic of the island reinforces them.

Brewing Affinity

Regardless of life path, all Brewfellows share a great interest in potion-making. It is rare too see an empty brewfellow, as when they are empty, they tend to be much less joyful.

As a Brewfellow, you have these special traits.

Construct Nature

You don’t need food, drink, or air. You don’t need to sleep, and magic can’t put you to sleep. You cannot be effected by poison related to food or drink, or effects that rely on breath. You still benefit from Long and Short Rests the same as other species.

Melting Pot

You have resistance to fire damage, and you can magically heat the inside of your cauldron body to boiling temperature.

Potion Brewing

As an Action, you may Brew a Potion inside of your cauldron. This potion consumes half the cost of Muk normally required (round down), and brews in 6 seconds, instead of 10 minutes. You can hold up to 5 rations of 1 type of potion in your body (dependent on the amount of ingredients used), and depending on the type of potion you carry, you gain one of the following benefits:

Potion Type	Effect
Combat	Add 1d4 damage to your damage rolls.
Utility	Gain temporary proficiency on three skills of your choice.
Whimsy	Once per day, you may choose to roll twice on the Wild Magic table. If you do, you may choose one of the two results.

Boil Over

As an action, if you have any potion contents in your cauldron, you may boil over, forcefully removing all contents of your cauldron and casting the Acid Splash spell. This spell is a DC15 to avoid, a 15 foot radius, is centered on yourself, and you are not affected by the spell.
