Frog Variant

The Frog variant is the smaller of the two variants, and distinguished by it's smoother skin, which much like ordinary frogs, comes in a vast array of colors and combinations. They tend to be slightly more affable and smarter than their toady cousins.

You benefit from a +1 increase to your Dexterity, Intelligence and Charisma scores. However, due to your slight physique, receive a -1 to your Strength score.

Your skin produces a mucus that is poisonous and you are also resistant to poison damage. It is at their tadpole stage during feeding that they devop their resitance to poison.

If you are successfully attacked by a biting attack, the attacker make a constitution based saving throw, or receive 1d4 of poison damage. If you are swallowed, this damage becomes automatic for each round that passes while you are ingested.

In addition, if you are not wearing armor, because of your general slipperiness, you have advantage when saving against being grappled.

(Note: At your DM's discretion, as a bonus action, this mucus can be applied to bladed weapons, arrow heads and crossbow bolts, adding 1d4 of poison damage to an attack. However, as this toxin is only viable at body temperature, it quickly deteriorates and will only last until your next turn and must be reapplied if you have not made an attack)

Toad Variant

The Toad variant is the larger of the two variants, and distinguished by it's rougher, wartier skin which tends to be more natural, greens and browns. They tend to be slightly hardier and a little wiser than their froggy cousins.

You benefit from a +1 increase to your Constitution and Wisdom scores. 

Your skin produces a mucus that is hallucinogenic neuro-toxin and you are also resistant to psychic damage. It is at their tadpole stage during feeding that they devop their resitance to psychic damage.

If you are successfully attacked by a biting attack, the attacker must make a constitution based saving throw, or receive 1d4 of psychic damage. If you are swallowed, this damage becomes automatic for each round that passes while you are ingested.

In addition, if you are not wearing armor, because of your general slipperiness, you have advantage when saving against being grappled.

(Note: At your DM's discretion, as a bonus action, this mucus can be applied to bladed weapons, arrow heads and crossbow bolts, adding 1d4 of psychic damage to an attack. However, as this toxin is only viable at body temperature, it quickly deteriorates and will only last until your next turn and must be reapplied if you have not made an attack)

Frog Salientia average about 3 feet tall and weigh about 30-40 pounds.

Toad Salientia are slightly taller, and average 3'6 inches tall and are slightly heavier at 35-45 pounds.

In both cases, your size is Small.

Your base walking speed is 25 feet.

You can move through the space of any creature that is of a size larger than yours.

You suffer no restrictions when moving though fresh water, swamp, marshes, mud, or wooded terrain. Nor do you suffer any penalties moving from water to land or vice-versa.

Amphibian Long Leap

Your long jumping distance in feet is twice your Dexterity score for Frog Salientia and twice your Strength for Toad Salientia.

Amphibian High Leap

Your high jumping distance in feet is your Dexterity score for Frog Salentia ans your Strength score for Toad Salientia.

Neither jump requires a run-up. In both the Amphibian Long and High jumps, any landing saving throws are based on your Acrobatics proficiency (Frog), or Athletics proficiency (Toad) and automatically have advantage.

Leaping into Combat

You can also use your jumping ability to literally leap in and out of combat. Because of the speed of these movements leaping out of combat automatically includes a disengage move. The disengage is however ignored if the character being attacked has two or more attacks per action, is hasted (or equivalent) or uses the sentinel feat. If your character is also hasted, then the disengage is ignored if the character being attacked has three or more attacks per action, attacking another hasted character effectively cancel each other out, Sentinel will still work, however.  If they are holding an action, this can be redirected at you.

• Long Leap - You can Long Leap as a Movement and as a Bonus Action to Leap in and out of melee combat. This means, a combat sequence would be as follows:

Movement (Long Leap) => Action (Attack) => Bonus Action (Long Leap), without receiving an attack of opportunity as outlined above.

• High Leap -You can High Leap as a Movement to Leap into combat. However, it can only be done at a creature that is either flying within your jumping range, or is of Large size or bigger. This means, a combat sequence would be as follows:

Movement (High Leap) => Action (Attack) => Bonus Action is forfeit (But gravity will do the work to bring you back down), again without receiving an attack of opportunity as outlined above.

• Combination Leaps - Leaps can also be combined:

Movement (Long Leap) => Bonus Action (High Leap) => Action (Attack)

Amphibian Climb

Your climbing speed is the same as your normal walking speed. Any saving throws are based on your Acrobatics proficiency (Frog), or Athletics proficiency (Toad) and automatically have advantage.

Amphibian Swim

You swimming is speed is the same as your normal walking speed. You can also hold your breath under water for up to 30 minutes + an additional 10 minutes per point of constitution modifier in fresh water. (Because being able to hold your breath for so long under water, relies on your ability to absorb oxygen through your skin, you are unable to to hold your breath for as long in sea water as the salt interferes with this capability, and you revert back to being able to only hold your breath in the normal way: for 1+ {constitution modifier} minutes.)

(Note: If you are wearing armor that has disadvantage vs stealth, then you are unable to perform Amphibian Leaps, Climbs or Amphibian Swimming. Distances covered are  then calculated in the normal way, albeit based off of Dexterity (for Frog Salientia) rather than Strength. Saving throw advantages still apply though, as does your ability to hold your breath.)

You have dark vision of 60 feet. This is also unhindered when swimming under water.

You have proficiency in Stealth, Improvised Weapons and Small Boats.

Frog Salientia also have proficiency in Acrobatics and Toads have proficiency in Athletics.

To reflect Salientia rural and rustic background, You can select one artisan tool.

Salientia are typically of a good alignment. While their communities are hierarchical by nature, suggesting a leaning towards Lawfulness, but their laisez-faire, live and let live attitude to life means they also range across both Neutral and sometimes Chaotic tendencies too.

You can speak, read, and write Common and speak fluent Amphibia.

Amphibia is an unwritten language that consists mostly of loud, guttural croaks that can be heard up to 500 feet away - ideal for communicating with other Salientia that are much further away. While it isn't a secret language,  it is all but impossible for other species to speak, although they can learn to understand it. As a consequence it is typically only spoken by other Salientia. Amphibia also allows you to at least understand ordinary frogs and toads, although not necessarily communicate with them. It is also similar enough to the communication of Bullywugs and Mogogols for them to hold a simple conversation.

Salientia have learnt to speak common to allow them to communicate with other sentient species.

Because of your affinity for marshland, you can attempt to hide when only lightly obscured in marshes, swamps or under water (fresh water only).

As a bonus action, once per short rest, You can spit a sticky goo that ensnares an opponent and restrains them.

As a reaction, you can grapple an opponent in melee range with your tongue.

When away from water for more than one day, you must spend an hour at the start of the day moisturizing your skin or immersed in water, otherwise you incur -1 to your constitution until you do moisturize or immerse yourself.

When moving through terrains consider extremely hot, dry and arid (e.g. desert) or excessively cold (e.g. frozen tundra), you must make a survival saving throw once per day at the beginning of the day. If the saving throw fails, then you are exhausted for that day. This exhaustion is not reset by a long rest during your time in these regions. Exhaustion accumulates until 6 points of exhaustion are accumulated, where, instead of dying you fall into a catatonic stasis and are completely immobile. In this state, you must now make a death save at the beginning of each day (this can be stabilized through usual means, however, you will not regain consciousness, just remain catatonic with 1hp). This is cumulative with any other points of exhaustion you incur during you time in these regions.

This can be over-come by leaving the region and for every point of exhaustion and failed death save, you must take a long rest. Each long rest removes 1 death save or point of exhaustion, providing you have consumed food and have been moisturized or are immersed in water.  Rests can be consecutive (i.e. resting for a whole day = 3 long rests).

Gnolls, Kobolds and Bullywugs are favored enemies.

You have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to track your favored enemies, as well as on Intelligence checks to recall information about them.
