#D&d gargoyle player character how to#

He wouldn't normally know how to fly very well, and may only have limited flight. Being that he is no longer made of stone, he wouldn't have the resistances a normal gargoyle should have. The years of being frozen in stone and lost in his own mind would probably have driven him a little mad, and diminished his mind, making him forgetful and unable to recall many thoughts. He hides his face beneath a cloak, as his appearance would be disturbing to most, trying to make those he encounters believe he's just a wandering dragonborn or winged kobold.ДЄlthough he would be a gargoyle, he would not have many of the advantages that he should normally receive. Instead, he is a gargoyle of flesh and blood, and is to be treated as a living creature, with very little damage resistance or natural armor. Upon his return, he is no longer cast in stone, nor forced to obey the will of his former master. His family is long gone, and the world he knew with it. A powerful magic user was hired to perform a ritual that would forcibly turn these royal guards into stone gargoyles that would watch over his tomb and viciously dismember anyone who dared to disturb it.ДЄfter a few hundred years of being frozen in stone he is released either by a merciful adventurer, or due to the curse coming to and end. One day the decision was made that these loyal guards would protect him within his tomb.

Thus, he sought out protection from very able warriors, in life and death. His master was a cruel and self-centered man, only interested in preserving himself and his legacy. He had a family, a wife and two kids, and worked an honest living. Here is my own take on attempting to create one.ДЄ once proud and loyal guard of a member of royalty, he served to protect as a strong barbarian or fighter type (I haven't quite decided on the class type yet). However, there must be a way to do it correctly, without having an overpowered character. I know I've seen this broken down before, and it always gets a lot of criticism.
