Homebrew Buffonian 2.0 Species Details

A short and stout, resilient race of toad nomads averaging about 5ft tall. They are native tribes of the river and forest and tend to be coloured in ways that camouflage them with some aspect of nature, never bright or vibrant ranging from perhaps an autumn orange but frequently as drab as stone grey or earthy brown. These people value natural balance and favor a lawful neutral alignment, drifting with the current and only taking what is needed, though some are curious and wander into human society.

Buffonians are resilient and durable. Being raised in the wild and the elements they are resistant to both poisons and disease. Their slow metabolism and cold blood allow them to boast of great longevity. The oldest among their tribes are often 150 years old, though no one truly knows their limit. 

Buffonians are close to nature and value it's balance greatly and are very likely to become druids. They create primitive communities, not lacking trade or culture but simply only taking what the land provides for them. Buffonians as a whole do not understand industrialization in the slightest. They see it as nothing but wasteful and unnatural. They favor using resources found as they are in nature.
