Homebrew Android Species Details

Split into combat, recon, and command androids, this race is built for a specific job in the android hierarchy. These machines are built by a central factory, and distributed to whoever will pay for them. These highly developed machines are an advanced form of AI put into a modern form, and, depending on the model, can be so realistically human that they can easily gather intel on their enemies, sending the signals back to their Cloud so that the information will live even if their body is destroyed.

Android Traits

Traits that all androids share, such as signal transmission and body armor.

Body Armor

Once, you may select an enemy that is attacking you and impose disadvantage against that attack roll. This is recharged with a short rest.

Signal

You are granted access to the Message cantrip, but you may only use it through technology--this applies to other androids messaging through you, as well. All creatures in a 3 ft. range will be able to hear you.

Languages

You speak Common and 2 additional languages.

Ability Score Increase

Increase in an ability score of your choice.

Darkvision

Darkness is seen as dim light, while dim light is seen as normal light.

Download

When your form is destroyed, your memories most recently uploaded to the Cloud by a recon android can be downloaded into any piece of technology. Usually, this means that your body can be replaced when your body is destroyed, but your memories may be fractured if you didn't upload your most recent events.
