Homebrew Dollem Species Details

 

 

Born from the selfish desires of their creators, Dollems are created from clay and porcelain to live as a person. Sculpted in the image of a human, they are brought to live with the mind of those humans they resemble, but they lack the experiences that one gains in life. As such, they must often be lead through life, or at least they seek someone to do so, be it their creators someone else. Highly influenced by those they surround themselves with, they can have the purest of souls or the darkest of hearts. Of the few things Dollems are driven by, their curiosity and desire to experience the world is what drives them most. Aware they are not human, the goal of most Dollems is to become indistinguishable from one.

 

Dollem Traits

There are a few unique traits to the Dollem.

Skin of Clay and Porcelain

Melded from skin and porcelain, a Dollem's skin is resistant to the damage of the fires that helped forged it, giving it Resistance to Fire Damage. However, such skin can be cracked when faced with harsh force, thus making a Dollem vulnerable to Bludgeoning Damage

Skill Versatility

Dollems will likely want to learn the skills of those they surround themselves with, thus gaining proficiency in two skills of their choice.

Curiously Coded Creatures

The driving nature of a Dollem is their curiosity for the world around them. Aware they were not born but created, their minds are developed like a person but they lack the experiences a person has. As such, their drive to seek out what they view as worldly experiences imbues them with a unique type of curiosity, granting them a +1 to their Wisdom.

Additionally, Dollems will often look to others on how to move throughout the natural world. Dependent on their background, creator, or those they follow, this can range from a unique fighting style, or an above average gift with words. Therefore, Dollems gain a +2 to any ability score of their choice.

Given what Dollems are created from though, it has left their stature somewhat weakened, leading to a -1 in Strength.

Age

Dollems can be brought to life as any age, and will begin to age normally like a human from then on out. For example, if brought to life as an infant, they will grow into maturity, living no more than about a century as with other humans. If brought to life as a young adult, their life is three-quarters that of a normal human, but they will die elderly.

Alignment

A Dollem is susceptible to following the will of those around them. If left alone following their creation, they are very likely to remain neutral, but if they stay with their creator or find someone who replaces them in their level of importance to the Dollem, they can easily move towards the extreme ends of alignment.

Size

Dollems vary widely in height and build, from barely 5 feet to well over 6 feet tall. Regardless of your position in that range, your size is Medium.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
