Homebrew Goron Species Details

Supposedly a creation of Din, Gorons are powerful creatures who live near volcanoes and other high-heat or mountainous areas. They are naturally resistant to fire and consume rocks for sustenance. They appear to be a monogendered species and reproduce asexually. As far as anyone knows. 

Gorons are tall, massive, and incredibly strong... yet they are most commonly pacifists who avoid combat whenever possible. Champions from Goron communities primarily train to fight monsters and other creatures that cannot be reasoned with, but those champions are a force to be reckoned with when fully unleashed. They are typically good creatures with pure hearts and boundless enthusiasm.

Goron Traits

As a Goron, you have certain traits in common with your people. You are exceptionally durable and powerful and your body is both your armor and your weapon.

Ability Score Increase

Your Strength score increases by 2, and your Constitution score increases by 1.

Age

Gorons reach maturity by fifteen years old and can live up to eighty years.

Size

Goron adults stand 5 to 6 feet tall and average 450 pounds. Your size is Medium.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 25 feet. You are incapable of swimming and sink immediately.

Stone Blows

Your body is a natural weapon in which you have proficiency, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit, you deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1d4 + your Strength modifier. At 10th level, you develop spikes that deal piercing damage equal to 1d8 + your Strength modifier.

Powerful Build

You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.

Rock Armor

Due to your rock body, you are ill-suited to wearing armor. Your body provides ample protection, however; it gives you a base AC of 17 (your Dexterity modifier doesn't affect this number). You gain no benefit from wearing armor, but if you are using a shield, you can apply the shield's bonus as normal.

Heat Adaption

You are resistant to fire damage, but are vulnerable to cold damage.

Boulder Roll

You can roll into a ball as an action. Until you emerge, physical attacks made against you are at disadvantage and you have advantage on Strength and Constitution saving throws. While shaped like a boulder, movement is doubled and you can only attack with Stone Blows. Standing up again counts as a bonus action.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common and Terran.
