Homebrew Amphimari Species Details

Resembling large frogs, toads or salamanders, Amphimari are the amphibious dwellers of bogs, marshlands and rivers. These humble creatures of the swamps revere nature and the silent ponderings of the sounds of night.  As such the Amphimari make excellent Druids, Monks and Rangers.
