Homebrew Cartoon Character Species Details

"I may be small, but I've got friends that make me feel ten feet tall!"
 -Mickey Mouse


Race Characteristics


Unlike the common folk of the world, Cartoon Characters have an almost innate ability to channel a magic beyond them and understanding, almost entirely through the use of imagination and whimsy. This magic is often used in settings where there is a small presence of danger, whereas in serious situations, although they may try to keep their cool, often they will fail in using these overpowered abilities.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common and Halfling. The Halfling language isn’t secret, but halflings are loath to share it with others. They write very little, so they don’t have a rich body of literature. Their oral tradition, however, is very strong. Almost all halflings speak Common to converse with the people in whose lands they dwell or through which they are traveling.
