Homebrew Gingerbreadforged Species Details

Skin of biscuit, heart of ginger, these creatures were forged in the ovens of diabolical patissiers as the ultimate tactical baked good. Used with terrifying cruelty during the confectionary wars, many soldiers learned to fear those lifeless fondant eyes. But when the bloodshed was over, the gingerbreadforged found themselves without purpose. Some went mad, turning against their creators and anyone else. Others just ran, ran as fast as they could... 

Gingerbreadforged Traits

Baked Good Construct

Integrated Protection.

  • You gain a +1 bonus to Armor Class.
  • You can don only armor with which you have proficiency. To don armor other than a shield, you must incorporate it into your body over the course of 1 hour, during which you remain in contact with the armor. To doff armor, you must spend 1 hour removing it. You can rest while donning or doffing armor in this way.
  • While you live, the armor incorporated into your body can't be removed against your will.

Constructed Resilience.

  • You have advantage on saving throws against being poisoned, and you have resistance to poison damage.
  • You don't need to eat, drink, or breathe.
  • You are immune to disease.
  • You don't need to sleep, and magic can't put you to sleep.

Specialized Design

 You gain one skill proficiency and one tool proficiency of your choice.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common and one other language of your choice.

Sentry's Rest.

When you take a long rest, you must spend at least six hours in an inactive, motionless state, rather than sleeping. In this state, you appear inert, but it doesn't render you unconscious, and you can see and hear as normal.

Milk Vulnerability

Fearful of the terrible weapon they wrought, the pastryforgers instilled one weakness within their weapon, a vulnerability to milk.

Edible

They can provide food for their companions in dire situations, and break off parts of themselves to feed to their companions and even to themselves for healing.
