Homebrew Patchwork Bear Species Details
Description of what they are here
Delighted Dedication
As far as teddy bears are concerned, being alive is a wonderful thing, but they know all too well how quickly the tides can turn. Human children are always in danger, and constant vigilance is required to ensure their protection. A teddy bear understands that they may be discarded on the capricious whim of a mother or father, and still they devote their time and efforts to the safety and protection of those in their charge. Often teddy bears exhibit the price of this protection, and many bear signs of their dedication in the form of missing limbs or eyes.
Teddy bears are measured and even keeled, thinking through their position before stepping up to speak. When a teddy bear speaks up, others listen.
Childhood Demense
Teddy bears make their homes in the bedrooms of child across Faerun. They live on the shelves and in the beds of their charges, often staking their claim to a position that offers the widest view of the landscape. Visitors to the room will often be introduced to a teddy bear first, as they are the keepers of order within their small realms. Those who are not welcome are unlikely to find a warm reception in the arms of a teddy bear.
Teddy bears are often fighters and strategists, relying on the wisdom passed down to them through the generations from the elder bears. Elder teddy bears are revered for their dedication to their watch, and teddy bears that have protected multiple charges in the same family are held in the highest esteem.
