Homebrew Pit Droid Species Details
Pit Droids are small, mechanical automatons constructed in large quantities on Cyrillia by the native Cyrillians for use in labor, repair and light construction. They were also associated with repairing podracers at podracing events. Their ability to compact themselves on commmand allows use for easy transportation.
Pit Droid Traits
Pit Droids have several traits that help them survive when away from their owners.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.
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.
Ability Score Increase
Your Dexterity score increases by 2, and your Constitution score increases by 1.
Age
Pit Droids do not 'mature,' but often rust and break down after 40 years.
Size
Pit Droids stand 3 to 4 feet tall and average 40 pounds. Their head accounts for roughly one-third of their weight. Your size is Small.
Speed
Your base walking speed is 25 feet.
Metal Armor
Your metal parts give you a bonus AC of your CON modifier. You can use a shield and light armor and apply their bonuses as normal.
- 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.
Collapse
You can collapse as a bonus action. When collapsing, you drop all large weapons and shields you are holding in your hands unless they are of tiny size, such as a spellcasting focus or torch, or have the light property. Until you emerge, you gain a +4 bonus to AC, and you have advantage on Strength and Constitution saving throws. While collapsed, you are prone, your speed is 0 and can’t increase, you have disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws, you can’t take reactions, and the only action you can take is a bonus action to expand to your normal size.
Natural Mechanic
You gain expertise with Tinker's Tools and proficiency with Land vehicles. Pit droids are highly skilled mechanics and pilots from their time working on starships and podracers.
Languages
You can speak, read, and write Common and one more language of your choice.
