Spriggans

Personality

Spriggans are frowned upon by society. Most people call them thieves and renegades, betrayers of their homelands. Still, despite the constant demeaning glares of others, Spriggans manage to get by. Spriggans' have an adept ability for finding hidden passages and treasure which makes them great adventurers.

Physical Description

Spriggans are about the same size as the other medium races, standing between 5 feet and 8 feet tall. Nonetheless, they are one of the lightest medium races, with adults weighing no more than 170 pounds and as little as 60 pounds. This paltry mass allows them greater speed than most, and even the ability to seemingly run up walls. Spriggans are never mistaken for strongmen and rarely employ tactics which depend upon Brute force, though they have the ability to do so.

Relations

Spriggans are not known to be liked by other races, due to former Spriggans. They can still be shop keepers and make diplomacy, but they are not known to be liked by everyone. Other races tend to look down on them for their skills in Illusion rather than Combat.

Alignment

Spriggans are not the most common race, nor, are they the most liked. They tend to be Chaotic, but they also feel for those discriminated and tend to be kind of heart. This allows them to be Good or Chaotic, but they are never lawful.

Lands

Spriggans are known to live East and Northern of most human lands. They tend to be near Tropic climates being at the edge of their heat, but still close enough to feel it. So in other words, Temperate or Tropic climates, are the best fitting for the Spriggan race.

Religion

Spriggans are known to be Clever and tend to roam the world. This allows Gods under the Domain of Traveling, Luck, the occasional Strength Domain, and Trickery. This makes Boccob, Olidammara, Fharlanghn, Kord, and Pelor as Gods they follow.

Language

Due to their extensive travel, any particular Spriggan might know almost any Language. They always know Common and Elvish.

Names

Spriggans tend to name themselves after something they value or their race as a whole values. They can also use Clan Names for last names. The Clan Names tend to hang on Stealth and Illusory, but there are rare names that revolve around Strength.
