Stoneborn
Stoneborn are beings that have
been partially turned to stone or
statues that have been animated
by magic. Whether originally
flesh-and-blood or created as a
gargoyle or guardian statue, the
stoneborn’s stony form is supple
and mobile unless it wills itself to
become fully petrified.
You know the Common language
and one additional common
language (pg. 32).

Stone Form
On your turn, you can choose to
become petrified, until you fall
unconscious or you choose to end
the effect at the start of your turn.

Petrified Stoneborn
While petrified as a stoneborn,
you gain these effects:
• You and all your gear turns to
inanimate stone.
• You can’t move or speak,
but remain aware of your
surroundings.
• You automatically fail STR
and DEX checks.
• Attacks against you have
advantage.
• All damage you take is halved.
• You are immune to poison and
disease.
