Homebrew Actual Bread Species Details

Bread est pain. Your purpose is to be eaten, yet the innate instinct to preserve your own life exists within you like it does all other living beings. Somehow you gained sentience and an awareness of the world around you, but you don't know how. The breath of life filling you seems to have stopped the process of growing mold and becoming stale as well. Perhaps this is all the result of a cruel god, or perhaps a random anomaly in an uncaring universe. The one thing you do know is that existence begets suffering.

Still, despite the miracle of your mind, you're physically just bread. You can't move. However, over time your awareness has spread to sensing the world around you without eyes or ears, and you can communicate through telepathy.

You're bread, so your size is tiny. A loaf, dinner roll, baguette or what have you. Your shape and appearance has no effect on your abilities, because you are simply bread.

Recommended classes are limited to spell casters as you are physically incapable of melee.

Philosophical Musings

Once per short rest, your time spent pondering your nature allows you to pose philosophical musings to a creature within 60 feet of you. On a failed wisdom saving throw, you send the creature spiraling into despair. Their crisis incapacitates them for one minute, or until they take damage.
