Befrienders are very rare. They can be anyone or anything. The one thing that unites them all is their love for all creatures, big or small. A befriender is a creature gifted with the rare power to befriend even the most evil, destructive monsters. They might have been gifted this by a caring deity, or maybe they grew up with a mimic. No matter where they come from, they are kind, grateful, and have a strong sense of justice.
- Languages: Befrienders speak Common, Draconic, and 2 other languages of your choice.
Feature: Befriend Monsters
Once per day, a Befriender may spend an action to befriend any hostile monster. That monster is no longer hostile, and might tag along with the party for a bit.
Suggested Characteristics
Befrienders tend to be nice and quirky, but sometimes they let their caring get in the way of logic, or overthink things.
