Heroic Recovery[edit]
A rummele can use its action to expend 1 Hit Die. Roll the Hit Die, add the rummele's Wisdom modifier, and note the total as Heroic Recovery points. If the rummele is not incapacitated then at the start of each friendly creature's turn, if they are within 5 feet of the rummele, that creature regains hit points. 1 hit point is recovered, taking the points from the Heroic Recovery pool.
The number of Hit Dice that can be expended when this feature is used – and the number hit points that can be recovered at the start of a creature's turn – increases as the rummele reaches certain rummele levels, as shown in the Rummele table. For example, at 3rd level, the rummele can expend 1 or 2 Hit dice, and each friendly creature recovers 1 or 2 hit points respectively at the start of their turn.
The rummele can use this feature again when the Heroic Recovery points have been exhausted.

The rummele can cast the following spells when it reaches the indicated rummele level. Each spell can be cast once, and the rummele must finish a long rest before it can be cast again.
