R'aga

A race of frog-like plants, with an affinity for water and sticky, poisonous tongues.

Personality

R'agas are very diverse from individual to individual, but common traits may be recognized in them. They are kind of reclusive, but not cold, nor xenophobic. R'agas are usually pacific, preferring a quet lifestyle and gathering the products of lakes and small creeks, such as plants, small fish and bugs.

Physical Description

The r'agas varies in appearence, but they share some traits. They appear as humanoid frogs, tall and slender, wearing light clothes. They tend to prefer colourful fabric, which mirrors their habitat. R'agas sport a varied complexion: they can be light blue, white, pale yellow, green water or light pink, sometimes monochrome, but more often in a patchwork. Their most notable traits are the water lily which sprouts from their head, both the flower and the large leaf, and their long, usually green, sticky tongues.

Relations

Their are quite unknown and keep to themselves, but those that come in contact with r'agas find out that r'agas are usually quite welcoming.

Alignment

Neutrality is the prevalent alignment among r'agas, with a prevalent leaning towards good rather than evil, a result of their cultural pacifism.

Lands

They live in aquatic environments, usually in damp forests. They build small settlements, usually a combination of floating and submerged houses in ponds and lakes.

Religion

Ragas cultivate a personal spirituality, focusing on pacifism and self-control, occasionally giving praise to spirits and gods of nature.

Language

They speak Sylvan as their first language, and in second place they learn Common, Elven, Gnome, Goblin or Aquan.

Names

Their voices are croaking like the call of frogs and toads, and their name names reflect that by using a lot of cr- sounds accompanied by vowels.

The victim must make a Fortitude save (DC is 15 + 1/2 HD) or be mildly paralysed for the next minute, resulting in a -2 to all checks that involve movement (attacks, physical skill and ability checks, reflex saves and initiative), as well as suffering a -10 ft to all their speed (or -5 ft if already under 20 feet).
