Gargoyle Degrees
=== Facts: ===
-The Gargoyles posses powers of strength, superhuman toughness and limited powers of flight. They are a race of guardian monsters, tasked with defending the major places of worship from corruption and attack.
-Gargoyles don't always look like the stone monsters they are often portrayed as. They have two primary forms: their ordinary human form, and their terrifying Stone Form which they usually assume to fight in.
-Gargoyles posses flight, but this is a chunky form of flight that is often limited to low altitudes. 
-Gargoyles become very attached to their homes, their Sanctuaries, and they don't take well to being removed from them. 
-You do not want to get punched by a Gargoyle, their rock-like appearance isn't just for show, these guys are tough! Their Stone Form is just that, a body supernaturally composed of living stone, able to smash through walls and survive impacts with oncoming vehicles. 
-Gargoyles aren't one of the larger Orders, they are generally only found around buildings that are large and important places of worship. Cathedrals are their favorite spot.
-Gargoyles usually work in small units, sometimes called flocks, led by the strongest of them. They concentrate almost solely on protecting a particular place of worship.
-The Order of Gargoyles has a blanket policy regarding all other Adept Orders: all are welcome, so long as they don't endanger the Gargoyle's sanctuary. Anyone who disrupts services without excuse or endangers the place of worship will be forcibly removed.
-Some Gargoyles do not join up with a flock but instead will protect a smaller but still important church, usually a rural or country church that is important to the locals.
-Gargoyles posses hawk-like eyesight, even in the depths of night.
-Gargoyles can enter a state of deep sleep known as torpor in which they can slumber away decades or centuries at a time while in their Stone Form. 
-While away from their home, Gargoyles often can sense when their beloved Sanctuary is being assaulted. 
=== Form of Stone: ===
In their Stone Form, Gargoyles quickly transform from their ordinary, human form into that of a towering, stone giant with bat wings and grotesque features. While in this form they posses increased strength, and their stone-flesh is super resistant to damage. 
Despite their increased weight, Gargoyles posses the power to glide on air currents and limited flight capacity.
