Fair enough. I wanted to make it serious but potentially recoverable. Similar to death saving throws from 5e. In regard to the check type, will makes sense. I wasn't sure what it should be cause you don't often see a player taking an opportunity to initiate a saving throw on their own.

Thanks again.

I found your edit very helpful but I had a quick question. I realized I didn't have anything addressing if they had to switch bodies. I was thinking a short rest to attune a new body but am playing with the idea of letting them attempt to do it as a full-round action a number of times a day equal to their level / 4. Do you think that is too broken? If not would a DC 20 Intelligence check be reasonable?

Thank you! This is actually very in line with what I was going for. Definitely a work in progress so I appreciate your input.

Any suggestions on making it better / more viable?

I did realise I didn't include info on at tuning a new body. I was thinking normally a short rest but that a limited number of times a day be able to make a concentration check to shorten it to a standard or full round action. I want it to be an achievable option but be difficult and definitely not something you can attempt an unlimited number of times.

I also posted this on the Homebrew thread but it isn't getting a ton of attention so I thought I'd give the general discussion a shot.
My friend and I had an idea for a character that is essentially a spirit controlling a construct. However, the construct racial type seemed a little overpowered for a standard campaign (20 RP). I attempted to modify it Here. The idea was that it would have some physical traits of a construct but would still feel fear, be susceptible to mind control, etc because it is an intelligent entity controlling another body. I also used Soul-Forge as a placeholder name because I was creatively lacking at the time and I haven't gotten around to changing it. I haven't tried something like this before and I would love any feedback. Thanks!
