Homebrew Demisphinx Species Details

These creatures are similar in appearance with sphinxes, as humanoids with cat tails and lion heads. These cat tails, however, bear spear heads. Demisphinx were built to protect a system of desert temples, possessing the ability to stand completely still and wait for long periods of time, much like gargoyles. In addition, their pearls for eyes, with varying colors, glow when the demisphinx are active.

 

Demisphinx Traits

As an artificial intelligence, you were built and programmed with unique fighting skills and capabilities.

Ability Score Increase

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

Age

You were constructed with organic material. You do not age, but after construction, you last about nine centuries before decaying.

Alignment

Nearly all Demisphinx are Chaotic, being programmed to kill anyone hostile to them or to their allies. Demisphinx often keep to themselves isolated in a temple, tending towards Neutral. Some, however, may turn to Good or Evil, as they find a place on the surface after being found underground.

Size

Demisphinx are built slightly taller than humans, ranging 7 to 9 feet tall. Your size is Medium.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Darkvision

You have magical glowing pearls for eyes. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You are able to discern color in darkness.

Demisphinx Programming

Your artificial knowledge grants you proficiency with Constitution Saving Throws, Longbows, Shields, Shortbows, and Spears.

Artificial Build

You were designed artificially with a self-sustaining body, granting all of the following features:

  • You do not need to breathe, eat, or drink.
  • You are immune to the Blinded, Exhaustion, and Petrified conditions.
  • You have the ability to stand completely still and wait for any period of time, or until you decay from old age.

Tail

Your tail is tipped with a large spear head, proving worth in combat. You can use a bonus action to lash your tail at up to two targets within melee attack range. Each target makes a Dexterity saving throw. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Dexterity modifier + your proficiency bonus. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 slashing damage. After you use this trait two times, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
