Welcome
Thespian in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Arceiron Campaign Setting / Homebrew
Thespian
Made to entertain, thespians bring joy to nobles, the clergy and commoners alike. The only type of manikin desiigned without lethal intent, these manikins' bodies are supported by invisible, intangible strings, allowing them to move seemingly in defiance of physics.
Thespians are dolls often created in the image of a living being. Sometimes this is borne of innocent adoration. At other times, it is the product of malicious obsession.

Artist's Puppet
You gain proficiency in the Performance skill.Ethereal Strings
As a bonus action you can attach yourself to a willing creature you can see within 30 feet of you via a set of immaterial strings for 1 hour. If the creature you're attached to doesn't use all of its movement on its turn (if it has multiple movement speeds, pick the highest one), you can use your reaction at the end of the turn to move a number of feet equal to its remaining movement. In addition to this, you can grant the use of your reaction to the attached creature and vice versa. This means you or the attached creature could use one additional reaction on their turn, but then the other one does not get to use their reaction. While attached in this way, you can also telepathically communicate with the creature. To do so, you do not need to share a language, but both of you must be able to understand at least one language. Once you attack yourself to a creature in this way, you can't do so again, until you finish a short or long rest.World Anvil: The Ultimate Worldbuilding Toolset & RPG Campaign Manager
