Disney's Gargoyles

[Makeitstop]

I too made a gargoyle race, though mine was only loosely inspired by the cartoon, rather than an attempt to make the cartoon race a playable one.

If you are trying to make the cartoon race, I would suggest a climb speed rather than full blown flight. It's more faithful to the show, and it would be more interesting, particularly when combined with the ability to dig into most surfaces with their claws.

Also, The hibernation thing is better than the dawn to dusk hibernation from the show, but it still seems like not being able to wake up could be a very big problem. Any time the party gets ambushed while resting, the gargolye is out of the fight unless someone hits it with stone to flesh or something. That means the only smart way to handle it is for the gargoyle to be on watch at night, and then for the party to guard the gargoyle for the minimum amount of time he needs during the day, which cuts down on the number of hours available slightly.

Also, how does the hibernation interact with things like preparing spells? Do you need 8 hours of hibernation?

You could also use Scions of Stone: Six Original Gargoyle PC Races by TPK Games. It's partially based off of the cartoon.

There's also In the Company of Gargoyles (which is also a part of In the Company of Monsters) by Rite Publishing. Basically lawfully aligned stone like beings. Their racial paragon class gains full flight at 5th level.

We've seen Elisa among the likes of matt and others. she seems to be a fairly normal sized female at 5'9 or 5'10. That said the only information i was able to find lists Goliath at 6'10

I love that there is a thread about this ☺

I do have a question tho.. What would each of the Manhatten clan gargoyles' class be?
I.e. Goliath a paladin, Hudson a bard or some other class to represent his knowledge of the past, and sharing stories about those times...

Based on my limited experience with the show (I was only ever able to watch season 1 when it was on the air, and likewise only found season 1 DVDs years ago. Should probably look it up online.) Goliath is clearly a Barbarian, Hudson seems to fit very well as a Sensei Monk, Broadway and Brooklyb are Fighters if they're even PC classes at all, and Lexington is like a Machinesmith or something.

Any other ideas?

[Ninja in the Rye]

Goliath: Barbarian
Hudson: Ranger/Lore Warden
Broadway: Barbarian
Brooklyn: Fighter
Lexington: Investigator with an archetype to work better in a high tech setting.
Bronx: Hudson's Animal Companion

At the start of the series the trio are low level, only 1st or 2nd, Goliath and Hudson are in the 5-8 range.

For some non-gargoyle characters, since we're on the subject:

Eliza's an Investigator with the Sleuth archetype (swaps out Extracts for Luck, which functions like Gunslinger Grit).

Demona's a Sorcerer or Magus.

Xanatos is an Aristocrat/Rogue who multiclassed into something that gives him some tech savvy and some combat ability with his gargoyle armor.

Macbeth is a Fightery-type with a little magic - maybe a non-LG Paladin archetype, or an alternate kind of Ranger or Inquisitor. Or maybe a Battle Scion from Kobold Press. Maybe a bit of a dip into a tech-savvy class as well.

Puck, Titania, and Oberon are all high-CR unique Fey. Puck seems to have at-will shapeshifting and possibly easy access to wish. Oberon's clearly got some artifact weapon and armor action going on. Titania seems to have innate Sorcerer-like spellcasting.
