Homebrew Animated Shovel Species Details

Due to whatever the circumstances may be, you are now an animated shovel, dumbass. Good luck adapting to this rather strange new life of yours, and hopefully a long one.

Animated Shovel Traits

Your shovel character has certain traits deriving from your shovel ancestry.

Ability Score Increase

 Increase one ability score by 2, and increase a different one by 1.

Age

Shovels don't really age, they just kinda rust. They age rather slowly and live longer than 300 years. Watch out for rain, as that can greatly increase aging if not treated properly. (Need someone else to dry and oil your ass.)

Size

Shovels aren't that tall; they can be anywhere from 1 foot to 4 feet. Your size is Small.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 25 feet.

Blindsight

Thanks to your shovel blood, you have shit vision. You can't see, so you must rely on blindsight with a range of 30 feet. Outside of said range, you are blind.

Silent Speech

You can speak telepathically to any creature within 30 feet of you. The creature understands you only if the two of you share a language. You can speak telepathically in this way to one creature at a time.

Shovel Nature

You have become a shovel, a fact represented by the following benefits:

  • You are immune to poison damage.
  • You don’t need to eat, drink, or breathe.
  • You don’t need to sleep, and magic can’t put you to sleep. You can finish a long rest in 4 hours if you spend those hours in an inactive, motionless state, during which you retain consciousness.

Natural Armor

Due to your handle and the shape of your spade, you are ill-suited to wearing armor. Your body provides ample protection, however; it gives you a base AC of 14 adding your Dexterity modifier. You gain no benefit from wearing armor, and you can't use a shield.

Blade Attack

You can use your blade to make a proficient attack using your Dexterity modifier. If you hit with them, you deal slashing damage equal to 1d6 + your Dexterity modifier.

Languages

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