Awakened dogs increase their Constitution scores by 2 and any other ability score by 1.

Awakened Dogs have no longer lifespans than any normal dog , unless their lives are magically extended, and can live up 15-20 years depending on breed.

Awakened dogs tend to be good in their outlook on life, taking interest in almost everything around them. Although, life experiences and their heightened intellect might cause them to have a different opinion on matters.

Awakened dogs are small size and have a variety of different ranges based on breed.

An Awakened dog's base walking speed is 40'

An Awakened dog is a being created and sustained in part by a magic gem called a soulstone. This item is carried or concealed somewhere on their body, which carries their life-force. This item radiates Transmutation magic. Any effect that suppresses magic returns an Awakened dog to their former state and temporarily strips away their conscious thought. This can be averted with a successful Charisma saving throw of DC 18 - your proficiency bonus. Should they leave the area of effect or its duration expire, they awaken with no memory of the time while under the antimagic’s influence. Additionally, due to the magic of the soulstone, an Awakened Dog can use Mage Hand as per the spell, with the following effects:

• You may use this spell to perform finer functions that normally require hands, such as lifting a mug and taking a drink to writing a letter.
• You also may use Mage Hand to wield a one-handed weapon. However, you cannot use this ability to extend the range of your weapon attack beyond five feet of your person. Additionally, two-handed and heavy weapons are too bulky and fail to be lifted if an Awakened Cat attempts to manipulate them with this spell, as well as any item weighing heavier than ten pounds.

An Awakened dog has darkvision out to a range of 60'.

Awakened dogs have proficiency in the athletics skill.

Your fanged maw is a natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with it, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

When making a charisma check against a humanoid, it can be made with advantage.. This ability can only be used once before requiring a long rest.

While not wearing armor, your Armor Class is equal to 11 + your character's Dexterity modifier. Additionally, armor costs double to be made for you, due to your unusual body shape. You also start with half the hit points a humanoid character would possess, due to your fragile frame. Additionally you only gain 3/4 the hit points you would normally gain per level, rounded up.

An Awakened Dog can speak, read, and write Common. Additionally, awakened dogs can communicate with other canines in their own language, as if under a continuous speak with animals spell.
