Muppet Traits

Age

Muppets are made at a specific age and are unable to age past that.  As such, maturity is only based upon how Muppets feel rather than an actual age of maturity.  Muppets are unable to die of old age, however improper care for themselves can lead them to wither away and eventually die.

Alignment

Muppets love self-expression and creation.  Whether it be good values or bad, Muppets believe that anyone should be able to express themselves and exist how they want.  There are very few lawful Muppets, however they do exist.

Time to Play the Music!

Muppets have a wide variety of talents when it pertains to music.  As such, you have proficiency in one instrument of your choice.

The Show Must Go On

Muppets are naturally durable and can take many hits without dying.  When you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can drop to 1 hit point instead. You can’t use this feature again until you finish a long rest.

It's The Muppet Show

Over generations, the Muppets have entertained the civilizations all over the world.  You have proficiency in the Performance Skill.

Living Puppet

Even though you were made, you are a living creature. You are immune to disease. You do not need to eat or breathe, but you can ingest food and drink if you wish. Instead of sleeping, you enter an inactive state for 4 hours each day. You do not dream in this state; you are fully aware of your surroundings and notice approaching enemies and other events as normal.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common, Undercommon, and Muppetish.  Muppetish, to an unknowing ear, sounds like a bunch of screams.  Little do they know, it is a bunch of screams at varying pitches.  While some do learn Muppetish, it has very little use as Muppets do not write very many things down.
