Grogan
GROGAN
Hit Points: 1d5
Speed: 20’
As per gnome but with Moss Dwarf abilities…
Weapon Training: Dagger, dart, sling, staff, short sword, short bow.
May use any armor, but metal armor is hard to find in the proper size (Cost x2).
Alignment: As with the wilds of nature, grogans tend to be Chaotic.
Limited Magic: Grogans begin knowing 3 spells (choose from the grogan list) innately, and gain +1 spell/level. Grogans gain a spell level increase every 3 levels, thus upon attaining 4th level, a grogan would just then gain access to 2nd level spells. Grogans can never learn 5th level spells.
Grogan Spell List:
1st Level: Charm Person, Color Spray, Magic Shield, Read Magic, Ropework, Sleep, Ventriloquism.
2nd Level: Detect Invisible, ESP, Invisibility, Knock, Levitate, Magic Mouth, Mirror Image, Phantasm, Scare, Scripted Illusion (new spell).
3rd Level: Consult Spirit, Dispel Magic, Fly, Haste, Slow, Turn to Stone.
4th Level: Polymorph, Transmute Earth.
Trick Die: Gnomes gain a special die that determines their effective caster level, each time a spell is cast. This replaces their caster level when determining modifiers. Further, they only suffer the effects of a “Natural 1” on a spell check only if the results of the check die roll AND the trick die roll are BOTH “Nat 1.”
Trick Die Per Level: The Trick Die begins at 1d3 at 1st level, and increases 1 step every level until it reaches 1d16 at level 10.
Action Dice/Saves: As per Wizard.
Attack Bonus: Begins at +1. Add +1 every 2 levels.
Additional Special Abilities (“Knacks”) by Grogan Sub-Type:
Luck: Applies to one innate spell of their choosing.
Languages: Grogan, Strout, Common. +1/point of INT modifier.
Secret Lore: Grogans are made almost entirely out of fungal matter. They are the “seeders” and "world builders” of the gods, created specifically for that purpose.
