Homebrew Frog Species Details

These were the stories of a resting people who long ago took to the lakes and rivers, first to terrorize, then to settle. Yet there was an energy, a love of adventure, that sang from every page. Long into the night Frogs came out, croaking after croaking.

In the reckonings of most worlds, Frogs are the oldest of the common races, late to arrive on the world scene and short-lived in comparison to dwarves, elves, and dragons. Perhaps it is because of their shorter lives that they strive to achieve as much as they can in the years they are given. Or maybe they feel they have something to prove to the elder races, and that’s why they build their mighty empires on the foundation of conquest and trade. Whatever drives them, Frogs are the innovators, the achievers, and the pioneers of the worlds.

A Small Spectrum

With their penchant for migration and conquest, Frogs are more physically similar than other common races. There is are plenty typical Frogs. An individual can stand from 1 foot to a little over 2 feet tall and weigh from 20 to 30 pounds. Frog skin shades range from dark green to light green some has spots and stripes different colors, and no hair colors. A lot of Frogs have are 3/4 frog and part something else some people are turned to frogs, revealing humanoid traits.

Variety in All Things                                                                                                                                      Frogs are the most adaptable and ambitious things on water among the common races. They have widely varying tastes, morals, and customs in the many different lands where they have settled. When they settle, though, they stay: they build cities to last for the ages, and great kingdoms that can persist for long centuries. An individual frog might have a relatively short life span, but a frog nation or culture preserves traditions with origins far beyond the reach of any single frog’s memory. They live fully in the present—making them well suited to the adventuring life—but also plan for the future, striving to leave a lasting legacy. Individually and as a group, frog are adaptable opportunists, and they stay alert to changing political and social dynamics.

EVERYONE’S SECOND-BEST FRIENDS

Just as readily as they mix with each other, humans mingle with members of other races. They get along with almost everyone, though they might not be close to many. Frogs serve as ambassadors, diplomats, magistrates, merchants, and functionaries of all kinds.

Dwarves. “They’re stout folk, stalwart friends, and true to their word. Their greed for gold is their downfall, though.”

Elves. “It’s best not to wander into elven woods. They don’t like intruders, and you’ll as likely be bewitched as peppered with arrows. Still, if an elf can get past that annoying racial pride and actually treat you like an equal, you can learn a lot from them.”

Halflings. “It’s hard to beat a meal in a halfling home, as long and you crack your head on the ceiling—good food and good stories in front of a nice, warm fire. If halflings had a shred of ambition, they might really amount to something.”

Lasting Institutions

Where a single elf or dwarf might take on the responsibility of guarding a special location or a powerful secret, Frogsound sacred orders and institutions for such purposes. While dwarf clans and halfling elders pass on the ancient traditions to each new generation, frog temples, governments, libraries, and codes of law fix their traditions in the bedrock of history. Frogs dream of a great lake, but they achieve it by ensuring that they will be remembered when they are gone.

Exemplars of Ambition

Frogs who seek adventure are the most daring and ambitious members of a daring and ambitious race. They seek to earn glory in the eyes of their fellows by amassing power, wealth, and fame. More than other people, Frogss champion causes rather than territories or groups.
