Homebrew Fronds Species Details

These resilient, proud, and relatively friendly race of  frog-folk have endured war, forced migration, needless violence and mistreatment at the hands of other creatures from centuries ago. Now, they live in isolation, unaware of the rest of the world.

They reside in the far away Swamplains of Bokkenwiir, and hunt both above and below the water.

Fronds mature to adulthood by the age of 12 but have been known to live up to 90 years.

Fronds are often true neutral, or have some aspect of neutrality in their alignment. They tend toward good, coming from a culture where compassion for the downtrodden is a commonality.

Poison Immunity

You are immune to poison damage and the poisoned condition.

Poisonous Skin

As a reaction to any melee weapon attack that hits you, you can secrete the poison onto your skin. Any creature that interacts with you in such a way must succeed on a Constitution saving throw. The save DC is equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier. On a failed save, the creature is poisoned until the start of its next turn. Rolling a 5 or lower incapacitates them for 1 minute.

As an action, you can apply your body’s poison to a melee weapon or up to 3 pieces of ammunition. The poison loses its potency after 1 minute. A creature struck by a weapon or piece of ammunition poisoned in this way must make a Constitution saving throw with the same DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier or be poisoned for 1 minute. A poisoned creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of its turn.

You may secrete poison twice a day.

Frequent Hydration

Fronds are an amphibious lot, and as such have become dependent of water. If you fail to immerse yourself in at least 1 gallon of water a day, you suffer 1 level of exhaustion at the end of that day. You can recover from this exhaustion only through magic or by immersing yourself in water for at least 1 hour.
