Homebrew Construct Species Details
This race was built for a war, but after the war ended, it had no place. This race is designed to be a helpful construct in any occasion, and is generally a jack of all trades.
Construct Traits
These traits are supposed to define a construct, not a humanoid.Robotic Resilience
As a construct, you are built to be resilient, and do not require some things that living creatures would. The list below shows all examples of this.
- You are immune to poison and disease.
- You don't need to eat, drink or breathe.
- You cannot sleep or be put to sleep, and you don't suffer exhaustion.
Ability Score Increase
Your Constitution, Dexterity, and Strength scores increase by one.
Integrated Protection
Your body has built-in defensive layers, which determine your armor class. You gain no benefit from wearing armor, but if you are using a shield, you apply its bonus as normal. You can alter your body to enter different defensive modes; each time you finish a long rest, choose one mode to adopt from the Integrated Protection table, provided you meet the mode’s prerequisite.
| Integrated Protection | ||
|---|---|---|
| Mode | Prerequisite | Effect |
| Darkwood Core (unarmored) | None | AC = 11 + your Dexterity modifier (add proficiency bonus if proficient with light armor). |
| Composite Plating (armored) | Medium armor proficiency | AC = 13 + your Dexterity modifier (maximum of 2) + your proficiency bonus. |
| Heavy Plating (armored) | Heavy armor proficiency | AC = 16 + your proficiency bonus; disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks. |
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.
