Dood!

 

[Mephista]

More seriously, why +2 Wisdom?

 

[Yunru]

Because I had to give them +2 to something, and given they've had an entire lifetime+ to learn things...

 

[Yunru]

Prinnies are small dood! Sorry for forgetting that doods!

 

[bedir than]

So when they drop to zero hp do they explode or go unconscious for an hour?

 

[Yunru]

Both dood!

 

[yoshikawa666]

[Yunru]

Now with appropriate tag dood!

I think people should comment more, plip.

**

Size:** Prinnies are, by their nature, small, standing at around 3 feet tall.
**Ability Scores:** +2 Dexterity, +1 Wisdom
**Verbal Tick:** Prinnies must end every sentence with the word "Dood."
**Unpunished Soul:** When a Prinny hits 0 hit points, it automatically succeeds on 1 death saving throw.

**
Shapeshift:** A Prinny can choose to spend its action to turn into a bow with 5 explosive arrows. Each arrow deals 1d10 force damage. On a miss, use the Alchemist bomb technique to determine force damage. A Prinny cannot fire himself, and a creature with proficiency in longbows can apply their proficiency bonus and the Prinny’s Dexterity modifier to hit. Regular arrows cannot be shot from the Prinny bow. Once the Prinny runs out of arrows, it must use an action to shift back into a Prinny.
