Homebrew Living Doll Species Details
Dolls are often seen as a children's toy, but it appears that powerful wizards also meddled with them. Making lifelike dolls and giving them life was not something I'd expect a necromancer to do in their free time.
-Razen Dolgor, Scholar of Fire
Humans have always attempted to defeat, or control, death, be it through leaving their mark or necromancy. Yet these dark wizards found another use for their talent, Living Dolls.
Imitation of Life
Living Dolls are made in the likeness of people, often humans, although elven Dolls, and similar do exist. They are made by master craftsmen and imbued with life through one way or another.
Works of Art
Living Dolls are masterpieces of their creators, either made to remember a loved one, or created in place of a child. Some dolls are extremely cautious with their looks, ensuring that they appear as human as possible, while other don't pay attention to their looks as much, over time cracking, and losing their human appearance.
Timeless Beings
Their bodies, and mind, don't die with time, nor do they suffer the consequences of old age. As they are given life by magic means, time is irrelevant to them.
Living Doll Traits
Living Dolls are masterworks, and these are their traits:Languages
Living Dolls often learn common and one other language, commonly it is one which the creator is familiar with.
Age
As constructs of magic, Living Dolls are devoid of aging, and don't have a limit to their age.
Size
Living Dolls can be made in the likeness of any human age, and thus they can vary greatly in height, ranging from just shy of 4 feet to over 6. Regardless of your position in that range, your size is Medium.
Ability Score Increase
Living Dolls are built to be lovable and adorable, thus you gain +2 to your Charisma modifier.
Magical Puppet
As a magical construct, you are imbued with powerful magic that grants you the following abilities:
- Advantage on Saving Throws against being poisoned or charmed
- Resistance to poison
- You don't need to eat, drink or breathe
- You don't need to sleep, and magic can't put you to sleep
Inert Trance
As a Living Doll, you don't need to sleep, but you still benefit from resting. Unlike other races, however, you need only half the time it usually takes to rest. For you, short rests take 30 minutes, and long rests 4 hours. During this time you enter a kind of trance, where you become inert until you take an action to undo it. While inert, you appear as a lifeless doll to any non-magical observation, and you are aware of everything that happens within 10 feet of you, although you can't hear or smell, only see.
Artificial Body
As a construct given life by magic, you don't have the same limitations as beings of organic construction:
- You can reattach lost body parts, assuming you have the supplies necessary to stitch them back. Valid options include Cobbler's Tools and Weaver's Tools, although your DM might rule other alternatives.
- If your body parts are destroyed, you can request the aid of an artisan to repair it, taking 5+1d20 days, the cost being determined by the DM.
- Your sight is magical, thus you don't lose sight when you lose an eye.
