Grimoire Traits

Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma score increases by 2.
Type. Construct
Age. Grimoires are created objects, and as such, they do not age.
Alignment. Grimoires themselves do not tend toward any specific alignment.
Size. While any librarian could tell you that books come in all shapes and sizes, Grimoires are usually 1 foot tall. Your size is Small.
Speed. You have a hover speed of 30 ft, but can balance yourself on your bindings to "walk" at a speed of 5 ft on the ground.
Class Restriction. As a Grimoire, you may only take the Sealed Verses Sorcerer subclass.
Arcane Resilience. Your magical status as a sentient object affords you a few perks, represented by the following benefits:

• You have immunity to poison damage and the poisoned condition.
• You are immune to disease.
• You don't need to eat, drink, or breathe.
• You don't need to sleep, and magic can't put you to sleep. Instead of sleeping, you enter an inactive state for 4 hours each day. You do not dream in this state; you are fully aware of your surroundings and notice approaching enemies and other events as normal.
• You cannot get wet, and being submerged in water does not damage you. Water runs off of your pages cleanly with no residue or molding.

Unbound

Lure of the Magi. With nobody at your side to call a companion, you lie inactive and unassuming. An Identify spell cast on you would reveal you are a Legendary magic item with a strong Transmutation aura. You cannot cast spells, move of your own volition, defend yourself, or communicate outside of the below mentioned.

If a creature with a minimum Intelligence score of 3 is within a day's travel of you while you're inactive, their dreams are filled with visions of great power and flashes of your location. If within an hour's travel, you can communicate directly to members of the party in short dreams and visions.

Creatures within 30 ft. of you sometimes hear strange whispers inside their minds.

While in this state, you have an AC of 12 and total object Hit Points equal to your Proficiency Modifier + your Constitution Modifier. When these are reduced to 0, you are destroyed permanently.

Bound

Pact of Binding. In order to realize your full potential, you need to bind yourself to another sentient creature, granting one another great power.

In a manner similar to attunement, the tome judges its potential partner. The two must meditate together during a short rest in order to become bound. You do not count as an attuned magic item for the bound character. When a grimoire is bound, it gains these traits:

• Movement
• External communication (Telepathic up to 300 ft., but is optionally selective up to 120 ft. between individuals.)
• Spellcasting
• Any spell you cast can instead be cast though the bound creature as long as their within a maximum of 60 ft. of you, such as the Shield spell or Shocking Grasp. If you allow it, the bonded creature within range can cast cantrips or expend your spell slots to cast a spell from your current spell list, and vice versa. Any material components that have a listed gold value, or special need within a spell can be instead provided or carried by the bound creature as if you supplied them yourself. You can only be bound to a single creature at any time. Both parties can break the bind at any time, should it be deemed necessary. If you fall unconscious, you make Death saving throws as normal or be unbound, rather than perish. If the damage you take is enough to kill you outright, you are unbound from your partner and fall to the ground, dormant once more, in your space.

"Only" a Book. As you are a previously inanimate object, you cannot perform most actions that others around you might, such as open a door, attack with a weapon, or even simply mouth words. Your mental stats and Constitution are rolled normally during character creation, but your Strength and Dexterity default to 1 and cannot be raised in any way.

For the purpose of saving throws, initiative, stealth, and AC, choose Charisma, Intelligence, or Wisdom and substitute it in place of both Strength and Dexterity.

In addition to this, when you attune to an item you instead, much like a Warlock assimilates a magic weapon into thier pact weapon, you have the ability to merge a item into your form over a short rest, gaining its benefits.

Justified Constitution. As a floating bundle of pages, you simply can't use traditional armor. Instead, you calculate your AC by using this formula: 10 + (Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma) + half your Proficiency Bonus rounded up
