A grippli tribe mother leads the tens of grippli in her village in official and religious matters as the oldest and largest female among them. A tribe mother is typically followed by multiple grippli warriors, who act as both her mates and retainers. Writing is a key religious duty of a tribe mother, literacy among all other grippli is effectively forbidden. Variant: Grippli PsionA particularly large grippli village, typically one with a population of sixty or higher, a single grippli might be born with psionic power, a notably higher rate of psionic talent than most other humanoids. These grippli psions typically serve their tribe mother as her champion and proxy. A grippli psion loses its spellcasting and Grippli Pheromones action and can't speak Druidic, and it gains the following feature: Spellcasting. The grippli is a 1st-level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 10, +2 to hit with spell attacks).

Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, range 80/320 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) piercing damage, plus 5 (2d4) psychic damage. The grippli psion has the following bonus action option: Telepathic Speech. The grippli chooses one creature it can see within 30 feet of it. The grippli and the chosen creature can speak telepathically with each other while the two are within 1 mile of each other. To understand each other, a creature must speak mentally in a language the other knows. This lasts for 1 minute, and ends early if either creature is incapacitated or dies, or if the grippli uses this ability to form a connection with a different creature. |
