I've been toying with this idea over in D&D 3e/3.5e/d20 page, and it was suggested I bring it here too.
I've been looking for a familiar for a specific individual in a game, and decided to homebrew one. I'm using Spark Guardian as my basis, but would love to have the Playgrounds help.
The theme I'm going for is that of a ring that looks like a dragon (think Sorcerers Apprentice, the movie). When it's worn, it functions as a normal ring (it could even be a necklace if it was larger). But I also want it to be an awakened construct.
So I present, the Ring Guardian
Type: Construct, Familiar
Size: Fine
Alignment: As Masters
Initiative: +5 (+5 Dexterity)
Language: Any it's Master knows
AC: 27 (+8 Size, +5 Dex, +4 Natural)
HD: d10 the Ring Guardian's HD total is determined by it's Master's Level. If it's Master is Level 1, it has 1 HD. DR 5/-
Saves: +0 Fort, +0 Ref, +0 Will
Speed: Base 10 ft, Fly 60 ft (Perfect)
Space: 1 inch by 1 inch by 1/16th inch
BAB: Same as Master
Attack: 2 claws +2 melee, 1 bite +2 melee
Full Attack: 2 claw attacks -2 each, 1 bite attack -2
Damage: Claws 1 point, bite 1 point
Ability Scores: Str. 2 (-8 size), Dex. 20 (+8 size), Con -, Int 3d6, Wis 3d6, Cha 3d6 or you could use 6 Int, 11 Wis, and 3d6 Cha...
Special Qualities: Construct Traits, Darkvision 60 ft, Guardian, Fast Healing 1, Find Master, Low-light Vision Damage Reduction 5/-
Feats: -
Skills: -
Advancement: Special. A Ring Guardian never increases in size due to increasing Hit Dice.
Climate/Terrain: Any
Organization: Solitary
Treasure: None
All guardian familiars use their HP even if it's more than their Masters. When used as a ring, the Master does not gain any of the normal benefits of the familiar's senses or movement.
Find Master (Su): No matter the distance, as long as it is on the same plane, a spark guardian can find its master.
Guardian (Su): A Ring Guardian can absorb a portion of the damage their Master receives. At their Master's discretion, the Master can shift up to 1/2 of the damage they take to their ring familiar.
I'd love if the familiar could act as a Kyber Spellstone from the Eberron campaign setting, allowing a Wizard to use it to store known spells as a spellbook...
Also, could it possibly be upgraded in any way as a standard construct? And if so, is there a list for such modifications?
Could anyone suggest a cost and prerequisites to craft? I figure it's going to be kinda expensive and probaly the gift to a wizard from a Master or Tutor of sorts...
Any suggestions?
