This page needs grammatical help. Reason: Scores and terminology are improperly abbreviated.

This page is of questionable balance. Reason: The ASI for this thing is insane. There are also ridiculous traits (too many for me to list on a glance) including but not limited to 60 base movement speed, resistance to blud/pierce/slash, unlimited boosted healing... etc.

Dirt[edit]
"Through out history there has been something that we have always known, that thing is dirt, it has contributed to our survival but it is something we usually forget even exists." -A Wise Man
Physical Description[edit]
|
|---|
| Dirt, just dirt |
Sentient dirt is just a little mound of dirt that no matter what can not be separated. Sentient dirt has no genders because... it's dirt. Sentient dirt can move by itself while be it via very slow because... it's dirt. Sentient dirt has no facial features or limbs because... it's dirt. Note: It is up to the player and or the DM, for when I played a character using this build, I gave my dirt the ability to have small appendages. Appendages that worked as little arms. These arms, can only hold very small objects. These appendages can also be used to control a mech-suit if you would. It would allow you to flick levels, push buttons, and the like. The reason being is because you are SENTIENT DIRT, not just a pile of dirt. Because as it says later; you can communicate via telepathy. So, it would make sense that you can do this. This also allows you to move under your own wait. While be it very slow. You can also move at a speed of 5. Or get a small cart or mechanical thing to move faster. You are also a CONSTRUCT.
History[edit]
This race of sentient dirt appears when a insanely powerful wizard misfires a very powerful spell of theirs and that spell hits a small mound of dirt, or is brought to life by an alchemist... this happens rarely though which means sentient dirt is sometimes considered legendary. The origin of how you were made is up to you and your DM.
Society[edit]
There isn't that much of a society for sentient dirts because of their rarity, but if two sentient dirts were to meet each other they would battle to the death.

Optional Vehicles[edit]
Optional Vehicles are optional vehicles that give your Dirt new abilities. Each one is special and I encourage you to talk with your DM to figure out which one works best for your character and which one works best for your campaign.
Optional Vehicle 1 - Trashhole[edit]
Through some cheese curls into my trash hole. - Rigby from Regular Show.

Speed. Your speed is increased from 5 to 40-->
You decided to travel by not sliding on the ground, good.. There are many types to choose from; and of coarse you can make these as well by playing within campaigns. It is up to you and the DM.
Through some cheese curls into my trash hole. - Rigby from Regular Show.. You are now controlling a small bucket or trashcan attached to a wheel. (Roller blade tapped to a trashcan).
Trash Hole. Because you are actually using a trashcan, or bucket. You also gain +1 to dex. You can also store many weapons and items with in your bucket. And no matter how many things you put in it, you can always move at the same speed and pace. (With in reason)
Weak but fast. You have the natural armor class of 13 (unless you chose sub-races above which give you more) You are a trashcan or bucket on a wheel. However, you can choose the following variant as well. You just sacrifice some speed for some AC.
Vehicle Variant One[edit]
CL4P-TP
Yessiree! This whole place would completely fall apart without old Claptrap keeping things humming along! This is a variant of the Trashhole vehicle from above.
Ability Score Increase. You are now controlling, well, Claptrap. (The mistake). Your Constitution increases by 1. Your charisma increases by 2. Your strength increases by 1.
Size. Small
Speed. Your speed is increased from 5 to 35-->
dumbluck. When you roll a 1 on an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can reroll the die. You must use the new result, even if it is a 1
naturally bad. When you try to hide, aid, perform acrobatics checks. You must reroll. NOT, gain disadvantage but simply rerolling. Thus, giving possibly giving you a chance to get a lower roll. However if you have disadvantage you do not reroll.
Dammit, Jack - how did you know stairs were my ONLY weakness?!. Stairs are your weakness. Because of your design you don't have the ability to walk up stair. However, if you are forced by the players, it is difficult terrain. "Carry me, slave!"
Grovel, Cower, and Beg. As an action on your turn, you can cower pathetically to distract nearby foes. Until the end of your next turn, your allies gain advantage on attack rolls against enemies within 10 feet of you that can see you. Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
wild-magic?. You know one level 1 spell of your choice from the sorcerer spell list. Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for that cantrip. However, because of your chaotic nature; whenever you cast this spell you need to roll on the Wild-Magic table.
"My ass saved all your asses!". When you try to plug a hole; be it a water-hole, dimensional hole, or any other hole for that matter, you can easily plug it. (Simply gain advantage)
Quicken Artillery. You and your allies gain increase your fire rate and bullet regeneration. (Plus one to initiative)
Optional Vehicle two - small, medium, and large mechs[edit]
“I, on the other hand, am a finished product. I absorb electrical energy directly and utilize it with an almost one hundred percent efficiency. I am composed of strong metal, am continuously conscious, and can stand extremes of environment easily. These are facts which, with the self-evident proposition that no being can create another being superior to itself, smashes your silly hypothesis to nothing. ― Isaac Asimov, I, Robot
You are a machine, or to be more specific; you are a Warforged.. This is the easiest one to do. Simply use the Warforged on page 3 to build your character. However, there is some extra abilities and flaws that come with choosing this option.
Your strength is not your own.. If you chose this option, the strength, dexterity, and constitution are different they your "dirt form". The reason being is because if you choose the Warforged option you CANNOT exit your "vehicle". You are sealed into the suit, and are its power source.
Things lost. If you choose this option you are no longer immune to lighting damage; and if have chosen the Nano-bot option from above. You also do not get the healing facture from being attacked by lighting. The reason being is because the Warforged is the new you; while the other Vehicle Options are more closer to mounts, this one is closer to a sub-race.
That was merely my outer self. Now, let me show you my TRUE FORM!. If you loose all of your hitpoints and your character proceeds to die. You can do the following: Upon death, your outer self is still alive. You simply lose your strength, dexterity, and constitution. You also go back to your base speed.
Optional Vehicle 3 - I am a Car[edit]

They provide you with everything you need; apart from driving off-road. If you drive off-road with these tires it would be difficult terrain. All-Terrain - All-terrain tires provide the best off off-road and regular. However, if you travel on mountains, or deep snow, or sand. It would still be difficult terrain.
