“I'm such a clever Toad.”
Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows

Anura are a race of small man like toads. Although they may be small, they are not weak. Whether the dreaded underground warriors who swallow there prey whole, or the rich aristocrats in their enormous estates where they bread insects the size of horses for everything from food to war. A strong people, they may hold tight to the old ways, yet the anura have shown in the past to be a grand folk, and it is time for another anura hero to rise!

Rich and rough.

Short yet strong. The anura are a race of great wealth welcomed throughout the world in everywhere by the southern lands. There great charisma and dangerous poison have managed to fit them a place throughout the world. Standing around 3 feet tall they appear like large toads that stand straight up on short humanoid legs.
Anura skin is usually dull browns and tans, however there skin can be every color of the rainbow, often these more exotic colors exist in environments besides the normal angolk deserts and the marshes of (COUNTRY I DON'T HAVE A NAME FOR YET)
Anura are a people deeply entrenched in culture, and as such most wear traditional Anura clothes. The most important item of clothing to anura culture is pants, as they invented them, anura see pants as a symbol of civilization and any anura seen not wearing pants (such as ones wearing a zerk's kilt) Besides that anura usually wear a button down shirt, and some form of coat or vest.

As a digger you are acustomed to the underground holes that your people dig in the deserts of anglok Your skin is probably rather smooth compared to an anglok and you have fewer smaller warts.

Jumper You are trained in acrobatics.
Sticker You can cling to sheer surfaces. You can decide to move half your speed and stick to any surface. (not sure about this abity, may replace it with something to do with poison, what do you think?)


Hey so, I made this race, what do you think, balanced? I am not sure about the abilities of the subraces. I just wanted one based off of spadefoot toads, one based off of the american toad, and one based off of jungle frogs. What do you think? I am not sure about any of the abilities actualy, what do you think?

Yeah, i know this is an old post, but I like these guys.


Long tongue. You can deliver touch attacks and retrieve small items at 2 times your normal reach.
I like it. :)


Poison. Once per short rest You can do a touch attack which applies the poisoned condition.
How? And how long does the condition last?


Digging digger. You have the ability to dig tunnels through particularly light soil and sand. You have burrowing 5 through very light materials, and holes form where you dig that people can follow you through. These holes collapse in an hour unless supported.
You've qualified it to the point where it is likely never to be useful. The other subraces get traits that are much more likely to come in handy.

It's hard to judge the power of the race without knowing how long "poisoned" is supposed to last, but i'd judge the diggers to be the weakest, and the wildlings to be the strongest.
