Mythical Physicality

A race of androgynous super peoples who can mind-sex you? Sign me up!

-- Hugh, Kenku Highwayman

Legendary Technology

How do you think this thing works? Last time I messed with one of these things, I nearly blew up a city. With any luck, this artifact could do something much similar.

-- Sige, Tabaxi Scientist

A Practical Society

You know, considering how often we've plundered the ruins, haven't you noticed that - besides the weapons, memory shards, neurocrons, and a few statues - there's absolutely no paintings, or art of any kind? Makes you think, what were they so focused on? Now that i think about it ... where do they bury their dead?

-- Zook Sheppin, Wizard Gnome

Aeshyr Names

Being a race of completely androgynous, powerful, and result-oriented species - the Aeshyr have names that resemble the tasks they undertake in some fashion. There are 2 parts to every Aeshyr name: the Base name and the Title name.

Base names are derived from happenings, circumstances, and virtues that may have been present during the birth of the Aeshyr - and are typically the names kept throughout their life.

Title names are typically chosen by the parent at first - but it is a very common (and encouraged) practice for the Aeshyr to adopt a new title name once their own purpose has been discovered. Tasks, beliefs, or roles are reflected by title names in some way.

• Base Name Examples: Light, Dark, Dawn, Dusk, War, Peace, Hate, Hope, Noon, Midnight, Death, Life, Time, Space, Justice, Vengeance, Wrath, Zeal, Star, Sun, Rain, Wind.

• Title Name Examples: Bearer, Justicar, Exemplar, Counsular, Luminary, Harbinger, Learner, Magi, Sage, Director, Diadact, Meddler, Mender, Hunter.

All Aeshyr full names are separated by a hyphen between each name. Such as "Dark-Harbinger", "Noon-Didact", "Light-Bearer", and "Midnight-Magi."

Aeshyr Traits

All Aeshyr share similar traits from birth as a result of their race's origins.

Ability Score Increase. You gain 6 points to distribute to your ability scores. (No scores may go above 20 points in this way).

Age. Aeshyr reach adulthood by 25, and they do not become frail, nor die, from old age.

Alignment. Aeshyr typically gravitate towards neutrality, although some have dedicated their lives to certain projects or advancements where different approaches are necessary - as such, the Aeshyr can fill any alignment role meant to suit their needs.

Size. Aeshyr range from under 6 to over 7 feet tall and have slender, yet defined builds. Your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Superior Darkvision. Accustomed to both subterranean caves and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can discern all colors while in darkness.

Aeshyr Bond Trance. Aeshyr don’t need to drink, eat, or sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious - and aware of their surroundings - for 4 hours a day. While trancing, you can dream in a lucid state; such dreams are actually mental exercises that recall your own memories as well as those of your ancestors. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep, as well as a full day of sustenance.

You can enter a bond trance with another living sentient being to pass on memories, feelings, and experiences - if they're willing. You also may use this bond trance to initiate a mating ritual to pass on genetic material - this bond can be maintained within your telepathy distance.

Genetic Telepathy. You can communicate via two-way telepathy with any number of creatures that are within 60 feet of you - this telepathy can convey audial, visual, and tactile messages.

Genetic Psionics. You know the mage hand cantrip, and the hand is invisible when you cast the cantrip with this trait.

When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the identify spell once with this trait, and you regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. When you reach 5th level, you can cast the mind spike spell once (as a 2nd level spell) with this trait, and you regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells. When you cast them with this trait, they don't require components.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write common, and Aeshyra - which when written, is a complex 4 dimensional language that conveys mental imagery and memories, When Spoken it sounds like overlapping hums and chants of a guttural nature.

Mutations. Instead of subraces, the Aeshyr utilize genetic and psionic manipulation to shift and alter their bodies at will to suit their needs - these mutations typically develop over time and are usually permanent.

Mutations

As Aeshyr grow both in age and power, their bodies reflect the locations, races, and experiences they have encountered - resulting in supernatural genetic mutations meant to further their reach.

Some Mutations have level requirements, or will need other mutations as prerequisites. Some mutations grant access to spells, these spells count as innate psionics. The ability score bonuses offered by mutations can go above 20, but cannot exceed 24.

You gain 1 mutation at 6th level, a 2nd mutation at 12th level, and a 3rd mutation at 18th level.

Rare Mutations

Rare Mutations require the Aeshyr to be level 18.

Metabolic Overdrive (Requires Adrenalized Fascicles.) (+1 Strength) Your body mutates to facilitate rapid body growth and manipulation. Once per day, you can cast Enlarge/Reduce on yourself. The abilities of enlarge/reduce stack with the abilities of "Adrenalized Fascicles" to allow superior physicality. The ability recharges after a long rest.

Super-Perambulation (Requires Digitigrade Locomotion.) (+1 Dexterity) Your genetics have adapted to allow an extreme natural increase in the way your body moves - namely a decrease in lactic acid and body mass. Once per day, you can cast Haste on yourself. The abilities of haste stack with the abilities of "Digitigrade Locomotion" to allow superior dexterity - even when using it in your quadrupedal stance. The ability recharges after a long rest.

Nerve Sheathing. (Requires Tempered Epidermis.) (+1 Constitution) Your body has adapted to null all forms of pain you encounter by enveloping your nerve endings in a protein sheath. You gain an additional natural +2 to your AC (resulting in +3 AC) - and are now unable to feel pain.

Ancestral Interposition (Requires Keen Trance.) (+1 Intelligence) Your mind has evolved to enter a bond trance to personally interact with the memories and experiences of your genetic lineage - offering whatever support they can. Once per day, you can cast Divination to consult your ancestral predecessors. The ability recharges after a long rest.

Presence Refraction (Requires Perception Nullifier.) (+1 Wisdom) You have mutated to disappear to the surrounding world on command, nulling all form of genetic markers and your physical presence. Once per day, you can cast Greater Invisibility on yourself for up to 1 minute. The abilities of Greater Invisibility stack with the abilities of "Perception Filter" to allow oneself to disappear entirely. The ability recharges after a long rest.

Psychedelic Aurora (Requires Balming Presence.) (+1 Charisma) Your pheromones have mutated to facilitate a massive increase in oxytocin levels, and to replicate the chemical composition of psychedelics. Once per day, you can cast Hypnotic Pattern - but without a physical pattern present, instead using your psychedelic oxytocin hormones. The ability recharges after a long rest.

Sixth Sense of the Spirit. (Requires Blindsight, or Blind Sense) Your mind has now evolved to look beyond the mere material world, and acknowledge what lies beyond. You gain Truesight out to 30 feet - your darkvision and blindsight both increase by 30 feet,

Mythril Marrow. (Requires Regenerating Body) Your bones have developed a synthetic mythril-marrow compound. When falling you can roll 1d20 + your level to reduce the amount of fall damage you take, and if subjected to an attack or ability that would break your bones or sever your limbs, you have advantage against it. Additionally, any unarmed strikes deal 2d6 bludgeoning damage, and all other physical attacks you make now deal an additional die of damage.

Aeshyr Feats

The following feats are typically available to the Aeshyr Race, but due to the genetic nature of the Aeshyr, any race may take the following feats - under extreme DM discretion.

Aeshyr Technology

The Aeshyr have many forms of technology that have yet to be unearthed, and even more that are not understood to their greatest potential. Many of their technologies that have been studied and dissected include weapons, armor, and informational devices. Other forms of Aeshyr Tech that have been seen include ships, structures, and machines that all function very similarly to "Eldritch Machines" or "Infernal War Machines" found in the books: Eberron: Rising from the Last War & Descent into Avernus, respectfully (Stats and Rules for vehicles and ships are listed later in the document).

The following are some of the more common pieces of technology that can be found on the planet of Pryxis - and potentially several other worlds as well. All Aeshyr Tech is considered Exotic. There is no standard cost for Aeshyr Technology, as each piece is considered priceless.

Weapons

The Aeshyr weapons listed should all be considered Exotic Weapons, as per the rules in The Expanded Crafter . While not strictly magical weapons, each of the Aeshyr Weapons listed should be considered magical for the purposes of overcoming magical resistance and immunity.

Armor

The Aeshyr armor listed are all forms of armor that should be considered Exotic for the purposes of not understanding how to use them effectively. While not strictly magical armor, each of the Aeshyr armor pieces should be considered magical for the purposes of withstanding magical damage and effects.

Energized Bulwark

Armor (heavy), Mythical

Armor Class: 21 + Dexterity Modifier

• Orichantium Alloy - Reduce the damage dealt to you by all sources by 1d10. Additionally, critical hits against you are canceled - if an indestructible weapon hits you, reroll the damage dice and take the lower result.

The largest, bulkiest and most intimidating full body armor the Aeshyr have created, the Energized Bulwark is a massive series of interlocking and energized plates overlapping upon a compression suit that form-fits the wearer.

Wearing this suit of armor is bulky, and makes it incredibly difficult to be stealthy due to it's sheer size and weight, but it does not hinder dexterity or movement.

It is thought that these suits of armor were meant to be used as the Aeshyr's "exosuits" - being used in hostile environmental conditions and high stress environments. Mainly due to the fact that the suits themselves have an air filtration system, a pressurization node, an advanced neural net, and a environmental regulation unit.

On top of all the enhancements by the suit, it also shifts to accommodate it's wearer, regardless of size, limbs, or body shape. Donning or Doffing the armor only takes 1 round of action to do so, as it moves and forms itself around it's wearer with intense speed.

• While wearing the Energized Bulwark, you gain the following benefits:

  • Immunity to disease and poison
  • Immunity the effects of Extreme Heat and Cold
  • Immunity to vacuum
  • Resistance to all forms of damage
  • You have an unlimited amount of breathable air
  • You deal double damage with all attacks.

• While wearing the Energized Bulwark, you count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.

• You gain a form of blindsight for 120 feet, this is a combination of vibrational feedback and low-wavelength echolocation - which allows you to pinpoint your surroundings through feeling.

• You gain X-Ray vision. This vision has a radius of 60 feet. To you, solid Objects within that radius appear transparent and don't prevent light from passing through them. The vision can penetrate 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of Common metal, or up to 3 feet of wood or dirt. Thicker substances block the vision, as does a thin sheet of lead.

Point-Defense Energy Shield

Armor (shield), Mythical

Armor Class: +5

• Orichantium Alloy - Reduce the damage dealt to you by all sources by 1d10. Additionally, critical hits against you are canceled - if an indestructible weapon hits you, reroll the damage dice and take the lower result.

A common piece of apparel utilized by most Aeshyr combat forces, the Point-Defense Energy Shield is a conveniently portable and deployable piece of cover - being able to be used as both a shield, and deployable cover.

When inactive, the shield appears as a simplistic Orichantium Bracelet with a singular fractal animite crystal. When activated, a field of highly condensed energy mirroring Orichantium's natural frequency is emitted from the crystal and forms a reflective, semi-convex surface.

These shields are unique in their ability to reflect and absorb damage from incoming attacks and effects.

You may activate the shield as a bonus action, or reaction to an incoming attack or spell (such as magic missile).

• When inactive, you gain no benefits, and the shield resembles an elegant - yet indestructible - bracelet.

• When active, you gain a +5 bonus to AC and Dexterity saving throws - as well as anyone in an adjacent space 5 feet behind you.

  • You gain the effects of Orichantium only when the shield is activated.
  • Similarly to the spell "shield" - you take no damage from the spell "magic missile"

Aeshyr Equipment

Aeshyr objects outside the normal realm of armor and weapons are included below. As with every other Aeshyr artifact, they are made of the Orichantium, are indestructible, and highly valuable.

Aeshyr Transformation. Upon becoming attuned to the crown, if the wearer is not already a memeber of the Aeshyr race, they undergo a transformation over the course of 1d100 days, gradually mutating into a member of the Aeshyr Race at the end of the duration. This transformation functions identically to the spell "reincarnate".

These changes are permanent.

Transubstantiation.

If the wearer is a member of the Aeshyr race they undergo a massive energized transformation of semi-divinity - becoming a demigod - so long as they continue to wear the crown.

Linked Consciousnesses

Divine Rank	Divine Title	Consciousnesses
0	Quasideity	500 - 5,000
1	Lesser Deity	5,001 - 100,000
2		100,001 - 250,000
3		250,001 - 500,000
4		500,001 - 750,000

9		7,000,001 - 9,000,000
10		9,000,001 - 10,000,000

Information Devices

Aeshyr information devices are amongst the most versatile and useful inventions of their people. Literally containing the consciousnesses, experiences, knowledge and memories of dozens to thousands of Aeshyr within an indestructible shell - only able to be opened with their own Tools.

Information devices like these are generally only able to be easily accessed with an Aeshyr Bond Trance, or alternatively, through an incredibly long process of the dissection of it's internal network and telepathically observing it - which doesnt always work. Thus, the best way to use an informational device is by being an Aeshyr ... or an incredibly rich individual with access to magic and technology.

All information devices come with a property:

Link (#/#) An information device has two DCs, the first DC is the DC for an Aeshyr utilizing their Bond Trance (or a creature with the Bond Trance feature) to access the device after attuning. The second DC is for any creature attempting to technologically dissect and telepathically communicate with the device after attuning.

Both DCs are made with Intelligence.

An individual cannot gain info points from the same device more than once.

Aeshyr Engineering Kit

Artisan's Tools, Mythical

These specialized tools are crafted from Orichantium, Chlorophyte, and Fractal Animite, and include the items needed to dissect and dismantle Aeshyr technology.

Because they are crafted with chlorophyte, using the tools grants proficiency in the chosen tool set, expertise for those with proficiency, and savantism for those with expertise.

The tool kit can be used in place of any other form of Artisan's Tools or Thieves Tools.

Using the tools to dismantle Aeshyr technology and objects still requires proficiency in the Tools themselves.

The following tools are included in the kit:

• Chemical Condenser - This semi-spherical crystal ball has a slight beaker like opening at the top, with a series of intricate switches and levers to determine forms of common chemicals to condense within the apparatus.
• Energy Hearth - A cubic 6 inch hearth that has a single pressure plate on the side, when pressed, it ignites a self contained plasma fire whose temperature can be regulated.
• Flow-Ink Pen - This metal, sharp pointed pen has a replicating ink vial on the opposite end, continuously producing ink when pressure is applied to the point. The ink can be changed in color, texture, and consistency.
• Microweave Silver - A metal spool of incredibly - almost microscopically thin - alchemical silver thread.
• Plasma Torch - A rod like apparatus that ignites a concentrated beam of plasma from the tip - temperature can be regulated, and the beam reaches up to 5 feet.
• Resonance Wand - This Orichantium wand has a fractal set of animite crystals on the end. When tapped against a hard surface, the crystals resonate loudly - the resonance can be pitched up to a high vibrational frequency to induce a high impact effect similar to hammering or continuous pressure, or pitched down to a fine frequency meant for fine tuning.
• Replicator - This small metal chest has a series of runes, switches, and levers on the outside base. When closed, one can input a series of instructions to produce any basic nonmagical substance - then open the chest to retrieve it.
• Stabilized Pliers - These pliers are gyroscopically stable and allow one to hold onto volatile and fragile substances with ease - or grip them with an incredible amount of force.
• Starstone Compass - This Orichantium compass holds within it a series of crystalline needles and clockwork - continuously showing the position of the local star, the time cycle of the planet the compass is on, and the current elevation in relation to the core.
• Vibroknife - A knife with a vibrational frequency that can be controlled to cut through anything from flesh to metal.

All of these individual tools are stored within a glowing Orichantium box 5 cubic feet in diameter, weighing 10 pounds in total. The box itself produces bright light for 10 feet, and dim light for an additional 10 feet - which can be turned off or on.

As an action, the closed box can be shrunken down to a 5 cubic inch box, weighing 2 pounds, resulting in an easily portable tool kit and workbench.

Vehicles

The Following Section lays the foundation for the properties of Aeshyr Vehicles to be found later in this pdf.

Ability Scores

A vehicles has the six ability scores and modifiers: Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma.

A vehicle's Strength represents a combination of its size, weight, and the torque or power it can bring to bear. A vehicle's Dexterity describes its handling, braking, acceleration, and stability. A Vehicle's Constitution embodies its durability, the sturdiness of its frame, and the amount of damage its internals can sustain before it ceases to function. Constitution also determines a system's internal resilience to meddling from spells and the integrity of its systems.

Vehicles usually have a score of 0 in Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma, and automatically fail any ability check or saving throw using those scores. One Major exception are sentient vehicles, which typically have non-zero Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores.

Hit Points

A vehicle has hit points, and will be destroyed if they are reduced to 0. A vehicle does not have Hit Dice. To restore hit points, the vehicle must be repaired - some vehicles have auto-repair modules that slowly fix themselves over time.

Challenge (CR)

Vehicles each have a challenge rating, similar to monsters or non-player characters. When creating a vehicle, you can use a similar process to the 'Creating a Monster' section of the DMG.

The primary difference comes when calculating a vehicle's offensive challenge rating. Many vehicles don't have weapons included in their stat blocks, since they have no weapons installed by default. For these cases it is recommended to calculate a vehicle's offensive challenge rating as though it has weapons installed; use the statistics for a melee weapon mount if the vehicle has a high Strength score, otherwise use the statistics for a ranged weapon mount.

See the 'Vehicle Weapons and Damage' area later in this section for more information on arming a vehicle.

vehicle Proficiency Bonus

A vehicle's proficiency bonus is determined by its challenge rating, in a manner similar to monsters, as shown in the table below.

A vehicle's proficiency bonus is added to the relevant ability modifier when the vehicle makes ability checks and saving throws with which it is proficient.

It also adds it to ranged weapon attacks that the vehicle makes using its Constitution modifier.

Explosive Death

Almost all vehicles explode when they are reduced to 0 hit points. Typically, targets near the vehicle must make a Dexterity saving throw to reduce the damage. The DC of the saving throw is 10 + the Vehicle's Constitution modifier.

The fire (or force in some cases) damage caused by the explosion is based on its size category, as shown in the Vehicle Explosion table.

Vehicle Explosion

Some vehicles may be so large and off the scale, that their sizes are dramatically massive - and therefore their destruction would be equally massive.

Actions and Reactions

Vehicles can have many different types of actions and reaction, although they can't use them unless a driver grants the vehicle its action or reaction. A vehicle can only take the Attack, Disengage, or Ready actions.

A vehicle may have weapons installed on it through the melee or ranged weapon mount vehicle modifications. Alternatively, it may have special weapons designed for it that have their own properties. Any weapons and other special actions available to the vehicle fall under the Actions section of the Vehicle's stat block.

Typically, when the vehicle's special actions and abilities, such as a special attack such as a railgun, force a target to make a saving throw, the saving throw DC is determined by using the following formula: 8 + the vehicle's proficiency bonus + the vehicle's Constitution modifier. However, some actions may use other ability modifiers.

Vehicles may also have reactions available to them through modifications or special equipment.

Some vehicles even have legendary actions. Vehicles with legendary actions require a driver that is proficient with the vehicle type to drive them, and can only take legendary actions while the vehicle has a proficient driver that is not incapacitated.

Damage Threshold

Vehicles with a Damage Threshold have immunity to all damage unless the vehicle takes an amount of damage from a single Attack or Effect equal to or greater than its Damage Threshold, in which case it takes damage as normal.

Vehicle Weapons and Damage

Vehicles may be equipped with mounted melee and ranged weapons. They can be standard weapons like those available as vehicle modifications, in the form of the Melee Weapon Mount and the Ranged Weapon Mount. Alternatively, they could be weapons specially designed for the vehicle.

When determining the attack bonus and damage of a vehicle's standard Melee Weapon Mount, use the table below. The weapon usually deals bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage, depending on the nature of the weapon.

Melee Weapon Mount Attacks

For the attack bonus of a vehicle's standard Ranged Weapon Mount, the attack bonus depends on whether the attack is made using the driver's Dexterity or the Vehicle's Constitution for the attack roll, as shown in the Ranged Weapon Mount Attacks table (driver chooses when they make the attack). The damage type depends on the weapon and ammunition.

Ranged Weapon Mount Attacks

In addition, if the vehicle is Huge or larger, the vehicle also uses more powerful ranged weaponry, and thus can add its Constitution modifier to damage rolls for its ranged weapon attacks.

When creating statistics for a vehicle, it's recommended to use the vehicle's Constitution formula for determining its attack bonus. This makes it easier to standardize the vehicle for challenge rating calculation without having to make assumptions on the statistics of the driver.

Aeshyr Vehicles

The Aeshyr people, having been so technologically and magically advanced, devised several ways to traverse the land, seas, skies, and the spaces beyond.

As most vehicles are incredibly large, requiring vast amounts of material to be constructed - not all vehicles are made of the mythical Orichantium alloy, but are instead plated with it to allow protection, which can still be bypassed when enough force is applied.

As with all Aeshyr Technology made of Orichantium, all attacks and abilities made by Aeshyr vehicles are considered magical and have the Cosmic Bypass feature.

Regardless, many of these vehicles are utter juggernauts of technological prowess.

You can make attacks through objects at creatures on the other side with disadvantage (unless you see them through the material).

Psionic Slash (Recharge 5-6). Using an action, you swiftly swing the Weave Cleaver in a wide arc and a psionic slash erupts from the blade. Each creature in a 120-foot cone must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes damage equal to your weapon damage on a failed save or half as much on a successful one.

Reactions

Warp Step. When the Skeggøx is attacked by a creature or vehicle, it can cast misty step as a reaction.

Aehsyr "Skeggøx" Mech

These Aeshyr mechs are the main engagement vehicles utilized against high priority threats. Meant to be used in conjunction with strike teams and heavy weapons.

These mechs are mostly piloted by Aeshyr Exemplars donned in Energized Bulwark armor - so if necessary they can eject themselves out of the mech and engage in physical and psionic combat immediately.

Like most Aeshyr vehicles, they are able to be operated in almost every environment.

Drop-Lift. The Ulfberht is equipped with a gravity field generator from the underside of the dropship, accessible via an opening into the hold. The gravity field can be extended down a height of 100 feet below it.

A creature of large or smaller size riding the dropship, or near the gravity field beneath the dropship, can use its bonus action to begin ascending or descending the gravity field at a speed of 50 feet per turn without taking falling damage if it lands.

The gravity field can be engaged while in the air as one of the Driver's or Riders' actions. It cannot be engaged while landed.

Environmental. The Ulfberht can function in almost all environments, including underwater, extreme heat and cold, and space.

Shielded Riders. Bulletproof windows and armor grants total cover to the Ulfberht's drivers and riders from attacks or other effects originating from outside the dropship. If the windows or doors are opened, this effect is negated on the side they are open.

Stable Flight. The Ulfberht has a +5 bonus to ability checks and saving throws against effects that would knock it prone.

Teleport (1/day). The Ulfberht may cast the spell teleport once a day, targeting itself and all drivers and riders on board - The use of maps and starcharts allows the ship to teleport without failure.

Aeshyrite Explosive Death. When the Ulfberht is destroyed, it explodes. Targets within 40 feet of the Ulfberht must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw. A target takes 28 (8d6) force damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.

Particle Ray. Ranged Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, range 300/1200 ft., one target. Hit 38 (5d10 + 11) acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage (choose one while firing). This weapon has the "Sustained Beam" property of the spectral particle rifle - with no cooldown period.

Reactions

Deflector Shield (1/day). When the Ulfberht is attacked by a creature or vehicle, it can deploy a deflector shield that adds +5 to it's AC for 1 round.

Aehsyr "Ulfberht" Dropship

The "Ulfberht" dropship is the main personnel combat transport vehicle utilized by Aeshyr strike squads, able to be deployed with haste and firepower for deadlier objectives.

The "Ulfberht" is heavily armed, armored, fast, and built to withstand most forms of environments and atmospheres. As with most Aeshyr vehicles, they are able to function in both underwater and space.

In addition, the dropship is capable of short distance space travel - intended to be piloted across the world, as well as between worlds for very short periods of time.

Drop-Lift, Superior. The Geirr is equipped with a massive gravity field generator from the underside of the titan ship, accessible via an opening in it's cargo hold. The gravity field can be extended down a height of 500 feet below it.

A creature of gargantuan or smaller size inside the titan ship, or near the gravity field beneath the ship, can use its bonus action to begin ascending or descending the gravity field at a speed of 100 feet per turn without taking falling damage if it lands.

The gravity field can be engaged while in the air as one of the Driver's or Riders' actions. It cannot be engaged while landed.

Environmental. The Geirr can function in almost all environments, including underwater, extreme heat and cold, and space.

Shielded Hull. Bulletproof vacuum-sealed windows, hulls and armor plating grants total cover to the Geirr's drivers and riders from attacks or other effects originating from outside the ship. If the windows or doors are opened - or if the hull is breached - this effect is negated in the area they are open (minimum 5ft square).

Superior Flight. The Geirr has a +10 bonus to ability checks and saving throws against effects that would knock it prone.

Teleport (3/day). The Geirr may cast the spell teleport three times a day, targeting itself and all drivers and riders on board - The use of maps and starcharts allows the ship to teleport without failure.

Plane Shift (1/day). The Geirr may cast the spell planeshift once a day, targeting itself and all drivers and riders on board - The use of maps and planar charts allows the ship to planeshift without failure.

Articore Meltdown. When the Geirr is destroyed, it explodes. Targets within 5 miles of the Geirr must make a DC 25 Dexterity saving throw. A target takes 70 (20d6) force damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. If the Aeshyr Persona is still on board, they may prolong the Articore Meltdown so long as they remain on board the wreckage.

Legendary Resistance. (3/Day, Requires Persona) If the Geirr fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

Actions

Multiattack. The Geirr Titan Ship makes four weapon attacks.

Railcannon. Ranged Weapon Attack: +19 to hit, range 2000/8000 ft., one target. Hit 52 (5d12 + 19) piercing damage.

Cloud Cover (3/Day, Requires Persona). Atmospheric elements heat, cool, or electrify the air around the Geirr, creating a 100-foot-radius sphere of clouds off the hull around it for 1 hour - making the ship appear as a cloud front. The cloud spreads around corners, and its area is heavily obscured. A wind of strong or greater speed (at least 35 miles per hour) disperses it.

While the Cloud Cover is up, th Geirr gains a +10 to Stealth checks, and all stealth checks are made with Advantage. Wisdom (perception) checks made to determine where the Geirr is located are made with disadvantage and a -10 penalty. Additionally, the sounds and movement of the Geirr are masked by the sounds of thunder or wind.

For 1 minute after this ability is used, creatures caught in the cloud cover 100 feet of the Geirr take 10 (3d6) fire, cold, or lightning damage at the start of each of their turns (your choice when deploying the cloud cover).

Reactions

Warp Barrier. (Requires Persona) When the Geirr is hit by a ranged weapon attack, the Geirr is unaffected, and the effect is reflected back at the attacker as though it originated from the Geirr, turning the attacker into the target.

Legendary Actions (Requires Persona)

The Geirr Titan Ship can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The Geirr Titan Ship regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Scan. One of the Geirr's drivers makes a Wisdom (Perception) check with advantage.

Railcannon Barrage. (Costs 2 Actions) The Geirr makes two railcannon attacks.

Antimatter Cannon. (Costs 3 Actions, 1/Month) The Geirr fires an antimatter discharge in a 5 mile-long line that is 50 feet wide. Each creature in that line must make a DC 30 Dexterity saving throw, taking 252 (5d100) force damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. This damage deals 3x damage to objects and structures and ignores all forms of cover. A creature or object reduced to 0 hitpoints by this attack is disintegrated. A disintegrated creature and everything it is wearing and carrying, except for artifacts, are reduced to atoms. A disintegrated creature can be restored to life only by means of a true resurrection or a wish spell.

The Astral Forge

Within the sealed off inner layers of the Fortress World lies the largest Aeshyr Information conduit known to exist: The Astral Forge. This massive construct is a series of overlapping, gyrating rings that surround what appears to be a miniature green star. Interestingly enough, the Astral Forge seems to be housed in it's own demiplane within the Fortress World

The size of the Astral Forge is massive - with the largest and outermost ring of the construct having a 37-mile diameter - and the star itself seems suspended in an intricate gravity field. There appear to be 12 rings in total, each having their diameter correspond with the first 12 prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, and 37.

The rings themselves function directly as the Informational Conduits - holding potentially millions of Aehsyr souls per ring - the sum total of all rings being incalculable. The star itself seems to be a power source of some form; presumably powering the rings as well as the Fortress World itself.

Based on records left behind in the libraries of the Aeshyr, the Astral Forge was the means by which the Highest of the Aeshyr were able to psionically construct planes and worlds across the mutliverse - and may be the means by which the Astral Plane was created using the Ascension Crowns - thereby allowing the outer planes to take form eons ago.

Birthplace of the Gods

It is said that the very first Gods and divine entities that lived were birthed in the research facilities on this fortress world. These gods were meant to function as a means to ensure the mortal races that were seeded across the multiverse had some form of guardianship, protection, and oversight where the Aeshyr could not reach or remain in contact.

Unarmed, yet Powerful

The Fortress World of Audapaupadopolis holds no offensive capabilities unto itself, but it does allow for several Geirr Titan Ships to be docked, which when the city is under attack are launched into orbit to deliver retribution to the attackers.

The Fortress World also can deploy a massive energy shield to cover Audapaupadopolis against overwhelming damage - this shield can only be active for a number of hours equal to how many individuals are manning each of the three control spires.

This shield grants immunity to all forms of damage and environmental hazards to the fortress world as well as all creatures or entities within it. Additionally, while the shield is active, no entities or objects can leave the atmosphere of the surrounding area - no matter if they are physical, ethereal, or anything in between or beyond.

Transportation

Audapaupadolis can teleport and planeshift at will, transporting it and all creatures, objects, and items within it. This transportation can only be utilized if at least one individual is manning one of the control spires.

Additionally, teleport and planeshift can target any number of individual creatures within the fortress world.
