Literally Just a Shiba Traits

Shiba's got this stuff

Ability Score Increases

Your Charisma score increase by 2, and your Dexterity score increases by 1.

Creature Type

You are a Beast.

Size

You are Small.

Speed

Your walking speed is 40 feet. 

Quadruped

As a dog, you are quadrupedal and must use all four of your legs to move around. Being such a gifted dog however, you've learned how to function in a very unique way, granting the following effects:

  • You have disadvantage on any skill check that would require thumbs or hands, and some tasks may be impossible. For some of these tasks, you can use your mouth instead to not suffer disadvantage (DM's discretion)
  • You may wield and use weapons and other items with your mouth, and you've learned how to perform Verbal components even while holding something.
  • You cannot do Two-Weapon Fighting, wield a Two-Handed weapon or use a Longbow or Shortbow. However due to advanced doggy dart technology, you can use a crossbow if the entire weapon is strapped onto your back, and the weapon is reloaded automatically at the end of your turn. While wielding any kind of crossbow, you cannot wield a shield. 
  • You may wield a shield by strapping one onto your back. Donning and Doffing a shield takes twice as long for you if you don't have help.
  • Armor must be specifically designed for you. Donning and Doffing armor takes twice as long for you if you don't have help.
  • You may wield a spell focus by tying it around your neck. You are able to perform somatic components as long as you have one paw free. 

Bite

Your bite is a natural melee weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. You may use Dexterity instead of Strength when attacking with your bite. If you hit with it, you deal Piercing damage equal to 1d4 + your Dexterity modifier. 

Puppy Dog Eyes

By using your overflowing cuteness, you can use your action to attempt to Charm creatures within 10 feet of you. When you take this action, all other creatures within 10 feet of you that can see you must succeed on a Charisma saving throw (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier) or become charmed of you until the end of your next turn. 

This feature has no effect on creatures with an intelligence of 3 or lower. Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest. 

Dawww

You have proficiency in Persuasion.

Keen Hearing and Smell

You have advantage on Perception checks that require hearing or smell.
