[QUOTE="Slit518, post: 7401610, member: 6803713"] Now this makes me wonder what a Gibberling PC would be like. [B]Gibberling[/B] Their short, pale, grayish skin is covered in a thick, coarse black fur. Their fur is knotted, greasy, clumped with dirt, and filled with bugs. Their skin is rife with callouses, scrapes, blisters, bumps, and oozy, pussy ([I]as in puss[/I]) lumps. A Gibberlings eyes are extremely sensitive to light. They shy away from even it's most meager presence. They prefer the isolation of total dark, or in some cases, to travel the surface during the night time. Gibberlings are a mad, raving bunch. Making clicks, hoots, howls, and what sounds like laughing. They usually travel in packs of 8 or more, and are rarely ever alone. They scavenge whatever they can find, usually a large rock, some bones, or even discarded treasure. [B]Racial Traits[/B] [B]Age[/B] – Gibberlings are weird creatures, and not much is known about them. [B]Size[/B] – Between 3-4 feet tall, and weighing 50-80 lbs. Your size is small. [B]Speed[/B] – 30 feet [B]Language[/B] – Inane Muttering, if you know another language or languages, you can understand the other spoken language, but you can only speak it in broken pieces, which requires twice the amount of time to speak it. You also don't have the coordination or patience to write any of the language out aside from crude cave drawings. [B]Ability Score Increase[/B] – +2 Dexterity [B]Darkvision[/B] – You have a darkvision of 120 feet, but you also suffer Light Sensitivity in the presence of bright light. While in the presence of bright light you suffer Disadvantage to all of your rolls. [B]Mania[/B] - You are filled with an overwhelming excitement and blood lust. You just want to touch, see, and experience everything. But, at the same time you also want to taste everything, usually teeth first. You make all Wisdom saves at Disadvantage. If you haven't bitten a living creature and tasted it's blood, felt it squirm in your mouth, heard it scream, etc... in at least the past 24 hours, you must make a Wisdom save vs a DC of 10, on a failed save attack the nearest living creature ([I]except for another Gibberling[/I]). For every 24 hours you go without fulfilling this crazy blood lust, the DC to resist increases by 5. It resets once you bite an unsuspecting victim.
