Homebrew Scarecrow Species Details
Scarecrows are normally lost souls who have been bound to a physical form through magical means. Your origins, however, are something entirely different; created by a power beyond anything befitting a normal scarecrow.
Scarecrow Traits
Your physical form is cobbled together from scraps and straw, granting you a variety of abilities and disadvantages.Age
When a wayward soul is bound to a scarecrow, their new life begins. Like a lost soul, unbound by time, the lifespan of a scarecrow is limitless.
Darkvision
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.
Fibrous Body
Your entire body is viable to be lit aflame. You have disadvantage on saving throws against spells and effects which would ignite you.
Living Construct
You are not organic. Your creature type is construct. You are immune to poison damage, being poisoned, and diseases. You do not need to eat or breathe, and any food you do attempt to eat falls through your mouth cavity. Rather than sleeping, you enter an inactive state for 6 hours each day. You do not dream in this state; you are fully aware of your surroundings and notice approaching enemies and other events as normal.
False Appearance
While you remain motionless, you are indistinguishable from an ordinary, inanimate scarecrow. Creatures with the ability to see or feel magic can however detect the magic within you.
Magical Being
As you are a body built up of hay, grass or similar materials, it is only magic holding you to this life. You are incapacitated while in the area of an antimagic field. If targeted by dispel magic, you must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against the caster's spell save DC or fall unconscious for 1 minute.
Claw
You can use your claws to make a melee weapon attack.
Ability Score Increase
Your Dexterity and Charisma scores each increase by 1.
