Cavy Traits

Your Cavy character has the following traits.

Ability Score Increase

Your constitution and charisma scores both increase by 1. 

Age

Cavies are only slightly longer lived than their quadrupedal, domesticated counterparts. While non-sentient guinea pigs live only to around a max of ten years of age, the common Neath-born Cavie's lifespan is doubled to an average of a twenty-year lifespan. 

Alignment

Alignment of the guinea pig can vary based on location and social class. Most Cavies are neutral but outside influences often tilt the scales into one extreme or the other.

Size

Cavies are small in stature, standing anywhere from two to three feet tall. 

Speed

Your base walking speed is 25 feet.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write in English, as well as speak Rodent. Rodent is vocalized as a series of squeaks, chirps, and whistles. 

Darkvision

You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Vicious Bite

As an action, you can perform a bite attack against your enemy. This attack counts as an unarmed strike and has the finesse trait, so you can use either your STR or DEX bonus for the purpose of determining the attack and damage bonuses. On a successful hit you deal 2d4 piercing damage plus any modifiers. On a critical success the wound is substantial enough to impose disadvantage on the next attack that creature takes. 

Unassuming Adorableness

Your squat stature and adorable, fuzzy cheeks give you an unassuming visage. You gain proficiency in the persuasion skill and gain advantage on persuasion and deception checks to convince someone of your innocence. 

Burrow

You gain the ability to burrow in soft terrain (dirt, grass, sand, etc.). Your burrowing speed is 20 feet. You must use your action in conjunction with your movement to burrow through hard rock, which is considered difficult terrain for this purpose. 

Wheek!

You let out a shrill series of whistles which forces all creatures in 30 ft that can hear you to make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or take 3d4 psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful save. You may use this ability once per long rest.
