Gargoyle
Description: Gargoyles are creatures of the night. They are sometimes thought of as lifeless beings that sit high upon building tops carved of stone for decoration. But little do most know, that when the night falls, or a dark eclipse covers the sun's light their stony features turn to flesh, bringing life into their veins until the sun rises again. These creatures range in size when in stone form, but will grow at least 4-7 feet when turning to flesh at night. All Gargoyles have powerful wings that spread across their shoulder. Their skin is thicker than leather. A Gargoyle's eyes often glow emerald within the darkness of the night. Many believe in Gargoyles being the guardians of the night, and watchers of the towns. Most Gargoyles are Good Natured creatures, protecting the weak from the wicked being that roam the streets late at night. Though there have been some accounts of evil Gargoyles terrorizing the night's dark sky. They are powerful wise creatures that can battle well with both swords, and magic upon studying it. Gargoyles live for a very long time and are able to retain vast knowledge. Over the centuries Gargoyles have become both loved, and feared.

Hindrances: Stone Transform- Gargoyles have this curse of turning into Stone whenever Daylight arrives. So whenever on Earth gargoyles will turn to stone till the Sun Sets again. But will Heal all Stats for the next day and end all long term effects and recover over any harshly Dealt Damage. Because of this gargoyles Risk the chance of being found by an Enemy and have their Bodies Smashed while turned to stone.
All Gargoyle PCs however receive a Magical Emulate in which when they ware it and will stay Unturned to stone while in day. But will not reap the Stone Transformations Special Healing Powers. If this Emulate is stolen or looted after a battle. Then will be cursed to be turn to Stone when it is daylight again and henceforth must retrieve that Emulate again if ever wishing to be active in daylight.
Cannot Ware Armor- Because of their all ready heavy bodies, and wings. Warring Armor will just cancel their Glide Ability, plus cannot fit into armor because of their wings folded back.
Cannot Ride Mounts- Not on the fact alone they are to Heavy to Ride any Beast. They just depend on themselves alone without having to force beast into giving them lifts from Town to Town. Being the Solitary Types. Most would rather Stay in one place and not travel risk leaving a safe place to live.
