Homebrew Guardian Species Details

Guardians are sworn protectors of land. Created by an ancient race of great smiths, guardians are a metal/wood construct their power source is unknown to most races and ages, as they are ancient and not many guardians still exist. The power source of guardians is a magical core connecting them to a little companion your 'echo'.

Guardians all have different purposes in their 'life' some may have been royal protectors all the way down to a lowly miner. Guardians have an average lifespan of around 18 years after this period some can destabilize and become 'feral' and lose control others will just shut down.

Guardian Traits

Guardians will have many racial traits many of which will consist of endurance from certain status effects and also a little companion called an echo

Echo

A small companion that can merge with you but when deployed you can see through your echo's eye up to the range of 100 ft. Your echo has darkvision and can use its eye as a flashlight

Guardians Endurance

Because of your metal/wooden build you cannot suffer from tiredness or exhaustion but your muscles (wood) can swell and shrink. You do not suffer from conditions unless they are quite extreme e.g. rain and wind will swell your muscles and heat can shrink them. After a while in these conditions you have to make a constitution saving throw to see if you stiffen up or not.

Sentient Matrix

Thanks to your matrix you gain sentience so you can feel and have all your senses however you do not need to breathe and do not need to eat or drink
