Homebrew Sheikah Species Details

 

Bodyguard.

You may declare someone to be under your protection. This declaration doesn't require the target to approve, but it does require a spoken oath of protection spoken in their presence. Once declared, you gain a secondary Bond which states "I will protect with my life."            Additionally, whenever your see the target of your protection being attacked within your base movement distance, you may interpose yourself between your target and their attacker as a reaction. The attack roll is resolved as if it had targeted you, and you wind up adjacent to your protection target.            You may not intentionally harm the target of your protection. If you unintentionally harm them, you gain disadvantage on all attack rolls, saving throws and ability checks not related to protecting your target, until you somehow atone. This requires the target of your oath acknowledging your repentance.               Changing your target requires a week of meditation to revoke your old target, and then another spoken oath in the presence of your new target.

Hidden Identity.

No official records exist of your existence. It is also impossible to discover your identity through magical means. If you create a fake identity, such as using the Assassin subclass or Charlatan background, magical investigation reveals it to be your true identity, although investigators can make an Intelligence (Investigation) check with a DC equal to 8 + your Charisma modifier to recognize it as fraudulent.
