Homebrew Cursed Loaf Species Details
Once an ordinary slice of bread. After being exposed to magic spores for extended periods of time, these warriors of wheat gained both sentience and magic. The most basic ability gained by these whole grain heroes is the ability to carry themselves using Mage Hand. Many variations of these grain guardians exist, depending on the type of bread they formed from.

Bread Magic
As a piece of bread, you need some way to transport. Cursed Loaves innately know the spells Mage Hand and Minor Illusion. Mage Hand is used to carry around the loaves at all times, and Minor Illusion is commonly used to blend in with all sorts of races.
Mage Hand Adept
As a slice of magic bread, you must carry yourself with Mage Hand to move. You may have 4 Mage Hands active at all times. These Mage Hands compose your "body." The parts can be seen in the table below.

If at least one Mage Hand is connected to the bread, the bread may move. Mage Hands may change shape into simple objects, but will always appear translucent. Detached Mage Hands can hold weapons, but not attack with them, however attached Mage Hands may wield weapons normally. If no Mage Hands are attached, you simply become a stationary slice of magic bread until you call back a Mage Hand. The size of the full Mage Hand body is Medium. The Mage Hands are mysteriously unaffected by the Antimagic Field spell, and they protect the Cursed Loaf from it as well.
Bread Disguise
You may keep up a Minor Illusion on your Mage Hand body at all times. While this illusion is up, you may move into any attached part of your body. If a part of your body is attacked without you in it, the attack misses, and the illusion is dropped. Minor Illusion may only be reapplied outside of battle. Bread Disguise only works when all Mage Hands are attached to the main body.
Scatter Tactics
At level 3 you learn to scatter your hands and use them for confusion. As an action, you may scatter your Mage Hands in a 30 ft. radius from your central body. You may instantly warp between the scattered hands, but they cannot move unless you reform them back into your full body. As an action, you may also throw your main body from one hand to another without scattering them.

Posted Jan 18, 2023I made this almost 4 years ago with little game experience. This does not reflect my current content, but it is adequately funny. Leave whatever comments you will. 10 likes and the Garlic Bread Variant will drop.
