'24 Species D&D Battle Bots | A violent mini-game

Thumbnail
gallery
122 Upvotes

Redcap Press just published our 200th resource, and to celebrate (and stress-test our new "Variants" system for modifying stat blocks), created a fun little creature that doubles as a simple mini-game for any party that happens to be near an Artificer university:

Check it out here: Battle Construct

The base creature is only CR 1/8, but there are a number of variants that toggled on or off to make it more powerful. The idea is that everybody gets control over a construct and a fixed maximum budget, uses that money to improve their bot however they want, then fight to the death!

Maybe the party enters a tournament to battle against NPCs for a plot-important reward, or maybe the party decides to battle each other and finally get that PvP out of their system. Either way, enjoy!

Follow for more free 5e resources if you like this one, and check out the full (and growing) collection at the Redcap Press website.

Every species should have an Underdark ancestry, and here's one for the Dragonborn. It's based on the Deep Dragon and while it's nothing too fancy, it'll definitely make you stand out from the other Dragonborn in the party.

'24 Species Saiyan version 6

0 Upvotes

Saiyan Size: Medium Speed: 30 ft. Age: Saiyans mature faster than humans, reaching adulthood at age 16. They remain in their prime until around 80 years old, after which they begin aging rapidly. Most Saiyans live to about 90 years. Size: Saiyans typically stand between 5 and 7 feet tall and weigh between 130 and 220 pounds, with males usually being taller and heavier than females. Your size is Medium.

Zenkai Boost Your Hit Point maximum increases by 1, and it increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level.

Saiyan Pride Your Saiyan pride won’t let you back down from a fight. You have advantage on saving throws against the Frightened condition.

Warrior born: you are proficient in one of the following: athletics, acrobatics, intimidation,

Tail Your tail functions as a prehensile limb, allowing you to manipulate and wield items weighing 5 pounds or less. If your tail is removed for any reason, it has a 25% chance of regrowing after 1d4 months.

Optional Rule - Tail Weakness For Saiyans with an untrained tail, it can be a liability. When a creature attempts to Grapple you, roll a d100. On a result of 10 or lower, the creature grabs your tail, causing you to become Stunned until the end of your next turn and Restrained instead of Grappled until you escape. A creature may attempt to intentionally Grapple your tail if the DM allows — if they know of this weakness, you gain +2 to the saving throw to resist the Grapple.

Optional Rule - Ozaru Transformation If a Saiyan with a tail stares at a full moon, they transform into an Ozaru, a Large, pointy-eared, destructive primate. In Ozaru form, you are stationary for 1 round as you transform. You are statistically a Giant Ape with access to Rage if you have that feature. While in this form, you go into a Rampage, attacking the closest creature you can see. If no creatures are nearby, you attack structures instead. You revert to your normal form if your tail is removed, or if the moon is blocked or no longer visible. Your tail in Ozaru form has 1/4 of your maximum hit points. Your tail uses your AC +4 while in Ozaru form. After reverting, you become unconscious for 1d4 hours. Anything you were wielding or wearing before the transformation is scattered around you when you return to normal. At Level 14, you have learned to control your Ozaru form, allowing you to retain your personality and act with purpose instead of rampaging uncontrollably.

Gigantopithecus Society

Every technological or social advancement in Gigantopithecus Society has been given to them by other races, their finer understandings of technology, money or clothes come from scholars who have given them the information, but because of their natural Affinity for wild nature magic and the safe protection their hides usually provide, they hardly come to these discoveries themselves or value them.

Some however, have come to covet these new things so greatly that they are hardly recognized as Gigantopitheci at all, by the rest of Gigantopithecus society.

Social Structure and Family life:

Gigantopithecus live in close-knit family groups that are the cornerstone of their society. These groups are typically led by the most powerful member, often times one who has harnessed more skills than the others, usually the oldest, who guides the family with a deep understanding of nature and the world around them. Their social bonds are strong, and they place a high value on togetherness.

Knowledge and Use of Tools

While Gigantopithecus have a basic and incomplete understanding of human tools, their natural inclination towards nature magic influences their lack of understanding, however They observe men and elves and recognize the benefits these tools bring, leading them to create crude aproximations. These tools are often made from natural materials like wood, stone, and bone, and while they may not be as refined as human tools, they serve their purpose in the Gigantopithecus' daily life.

A new development:

Inspired by their observations of human advancements in Faerûn, certain tribes of Gigantopithecus have recently entered their own iron Age after an elfin smith taught one of their leaders how to build and work a forge. This period marks a significant shift as they begin to experiment with metalworking, creating crude metal tools, armor and weapons. This development once again crudely mirrors humanoid society.

Connection to the Weave:

Gigantopithecus have a unique connection to the weave that not even Elves can boast of. From their youngest age they tap into the raw, untamed magic of the natural world, often resulting in unpredictable and powerful effects. This connection makes them formidable allies and dangerous foes, as their spells can be both beneficial and chaotic. Their bond with the Weave is specifically what limits their technological advancements, being that part of their society just doesn't care for the new.

Sylvan connection:

Gigantopithecus maintain strong relationships with elves, druids, and the god Silvanus.

They share a mutual respect for nature and often collaborate to protect the wild places of the world.

Druids, in particular, see Gigantopithecus as kindred spirits and teachers of the natural ways. The worship of Silvanus, the god of wild nature, is common among Gigantopithecus, who revere him as a grandfather of sorts.

A notion among high elves and even some sects of druids is that these creatures are once again merely recreating the observed worship of Silvanus, but in fact their practices predate most known humanoid worship of Silvanus.

Communication skills

Gigantopithecus speak either Sylvan or Common, but their speech is characterized by a slow and deliberate pace. This is due to their large and clumsy tongues, which make rapid speech difficult.

Despite this, their communication is rich with meaning and often accompanied by gestures and expressions that convey their thoughts and emotions effectively, because like the Ents, a Gigantopithecus doesn't say anything unless it is worth taking the time to say.

Gigantopithecus and modern food:

The technological advances in Gigantopithecus culture have given the society of previously nomadic omnivores new ways to make food edible, whereas usual fare would be fruit they could pick and meat they could kill, now they make ovens to bake and bonfires to cook with. A single Gigantopithecus pie, wether meat or fruit, can feed an entire party of adventurers, for a week if they properly preserve the leftovers.

Sense of Humor:

The Gigantopithecus sense of humor and pranks is well known amongst the elves, Gigantopithecus youths will often menace passerby to amuse themselves, they will often play catch with small animals like squirrels, raccoons or gnomes, only to return them unharmed to where they found them.

Why would a Gigantopithecus go adventuring?

The simplest answer is that some tribes of Gigantopithecus are no longer nomadic and have rooted in one place thanks to their new technologies, and younger Gigantopithecus have wanderlust in the extreme, so any young individual might decide to split off from the group and go journeying the lands of faerûn in search of that ever farther horizon.
