Hey, so. I'm not a big fan of undertale anymore, but I like skeletons, so I figured I'd give this a go. I'm not sure if it's balanced or not, hoping I can get some criticism.

-Sans the Skeleton, Judge
Physical Description
Fontbones can vary very differently in height, with the shortest of their race being 3 feet tall, and the tallest being 7 and a half feet tall. They have the appearance of humanoid skeletons, typically white bones, with their heads being any skull of any creature as long as the skull is human-head sized. They can occasionally have bone tails, however this is quite rare. Some of them possess white glowing eyes, while others have no eyes at all. However, unless their skull has suffered serious or permanent damage, when they are infuriated their eye sockets glow with a color, based on their highest ability score.
Eye Glow Colors
Strength = Red. Dexterity = Yellow. Constitution = Green. Intellect = Blue. Wisdom = Purple. Charm = Pink. If multiple scores are the highest (e.g. strength and dexterity both at 20), then the eye will rapidly change between colors when it glows.
History
Bones, Eyes, and everything Nice. These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect little minions. But Necromancer Tobias accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction -- Magic. Thus, the Fontbones were born! Using their ultra-super powers, they killed him and ended the powerpuff girls reference. The Fontbones were a very powerful race, but, due to how they were created, they had a hard time having wills of their own, with only very few of them having it, while the rest of their race's minds were wired to following orders. Therefore, they created a society revolving around law, order, and judgement.
Society
Fontbones society revolves around one major thing: Order. The Judge Fontbones are the few Fontbones that have free will, though Officers can be granted it with powerful magic. Everything runs like clockwork, with the Officers doing as the Judges command, making sure that they are the perfect race. Some Fontbones don't listen to the Judges, and they are exiled, as Outcasts, being stripped of one or both of their glowing eyes. Fontbone society does not welcome most visitors, unless they are undead, themselves.

Fontbones Judges have a list of every possible name they were allowed, in a large magical book, which was written by the first Judges.
Both Genders: Any Font or Part of a Font,
Fontbones Traits

Judge's Might. Choose either Judgement or Conviction.
Judgement: You have the ability to summon Judgement Blasters for 1d4 hours. You can do this once per long rest. They act as a companion, and listen to your orders, but take up your turn to do their actions.
Conviction: Whenever you hit a target, they must roll a DC 8 + your Intellect modifier Constitution check. If they fail, they take half of the damage you did over 1d4 turns, as poison. If a target is immune to poison, but they are the opposite alignment as you, this still affects them. (Note: This does not mean the damage per turn, meaning rolling low is actually beneficial here.)

Ability Score Increase. Your Strength score increases by 2.
Officer's Authority. Choose either Arrest or Restrained Force.

If they succeed, the bars are 'opened', and disappear. You can use this once per long rest.
Restrained Force: You are able to lower your attack by as much damage as you want, after your attack roll. (e.g. if you roll 4 for damage, you can lower it to 1) Additionally, if a target is at 20% max health, you may roll a Strength check, against the target's Constitution check. If you succeed, the target is knocked unconscious. You can use this 1/2 your level times per day. (minimum 1) (Note: Lowering your attack does not decrease the amount of uses per day.)
Outcast Fontbones

If a character was a Judge or Officer before they were this, then they lose their natural features given by that, in place of Outcast ones.
