### DESCRIPTIONS AND ROLES
#### Bullywug Augur
Bullywug augurs with the gift of magical divination. Augurs do not wear armor or carry weapons or shields as a signal that their magic makes them above such things.
Augurs are more for allowing a bullywug village to perform divination than a combat character. They can be used to explain how a bullywug village has knowledge they could not otherwise have or to provide a divination resource to PCs that talk to bullywugs.
#### Bullywug Blighter
Bullywug blighters have learned that magic of nature and evil that allows them to animate plants as evil blights. They wear hide armor and carry staffs to protect themselves, but regard themselves as behind the scenes workers not combatants.
Blighters will produce blights and station them to guard the bullywug village or hide them among the other plants in the swamp to attack intruders. If blights need to be led into battle, the blighter will often do it and command them.
Blighters are more of an explanation as to how a bullywug village might be defended by blights than a combat character. They can be used to command blights and then run away, giving the players an enemy to hunt down.
#### Bullywug Catcher
Bullywug catchers are equipped to capture their foes. Instead of a shield and spear, they use nets to catch their foes and whips to attack their netted foes from a distance.
Catchers use their nets to restrain foes which stops them from moving, gives advantage to attack them, and disadvantage for them to attack. Each catcher will have a group of other bullywugs with them. The catcher nets a foe and the others mob it while it is restrained.
#### Bullywug Croooner
Bullywug crooners are the leaders, using their magic to bully other bullywugs and control their foes. Crooners do not wear armor or carry weapons or shields as a signal that their magic makes them above such things.
Crooners will start a combat with the sleep spell. Then they use vicious mockery to attack and debuff the most powerful enemy warrior while using Help as a bonus action to aid an ally in attacking. They will flee if the fight is going against them.
A crooner should be the obvious leader. They can flee multiple fights and be a recurring enemy for the players to hunt down.
There should only be one crooner per warband as multiple sleep spells will overwhelm a low level party.
#### Bullywug Cruster
Bullywug crusters coat themselves in a protective layer of mud for battle. While in muddy areas they can scoop up and replace the mud as it wears off. They do not carry spears, leaving their hand free for scooping up mud. The wet mud is especially good at protecting them from fire.
Crusters normally try to get into melee as quickly as possible as they have no ranged attack. They spread out and try to draw the attacks of their foes. They can serve as bodyguards, using their shield to protect a leader.
#### Bullywug Fisher
Bullywug fishers use a long spear to catch fish in the swamp waters. They are unable to carry a shield as well. They have practiced so that they can stab a fish as soon as it swims near them and do the same thing to foes in battle. Their pikes have a barbed hook, allowing them to stop a foe when they stab it. The long pike prevents them from using it and biting at the same time.
Fishers often form the front ranks of bullywugs, using their pikes to stop their foes from reaching them. If defending a village or in a large group they may remain back, using the reach their pikes provide to attack from safety.
#### Bullywug Flykeeper
Bullywug flykeepers tend nests of flies kept for food and are skilled at dealing with the and other animals. They make a mixture of rotting foodstuff that attracts flies. In combat they smear their shield with the fly attractant to surround themselves with a cloak of biting flies. The flies are hungry and bite any non-bullywugs nearby.
Flykeepers can also throw bags of the fly attractant into nearby spaces to summon flies to those spaces. If they are defending, they may do this before a battle to protect bridges, gates, and other choke points. In that case they use more attractant which lasts for 1 hours instead of 1 minute.
Flykeepers move to where their foes are bunched up so their flies can damage multiple each turn. They use their fly attractant to force foes to move, hopefully giving the other bullywugs opportunity attacks.
#### Bullywug Healer
Bullywug healers have learned magic to heal and cure disease and poison. They wear hide armor and carry staffs to protect themselves, but regard themselves as support not combatants.
Healers are intended to provide minor healing to a bullywug village rather than a combat character. They can be used when PCs are captured by bullywugs or otherwise are visiting a bullywug village.
#### Bullywug Hunter
Bullywug hunters are trained to find their foes and equipped to attack foes at range. They have improved survival to track foes and perception to spot them. Instead of a shield and spear they wield darts and are able to make two ranged attacks with them.
Hunters scout and look for foes, but then stay out of melee and use their darts to attack. There are often many hunters in an attack force, especially if the attack force has dedicated melee fighters such as crusters and leapers.
#### Bullywug Leaper
Bullywug leapers are the messengers of the bullywugs. They are trained to leap faster and to climb and swim better in order to get around the swamps. Lightly equipped, they do not carry weapons or shields and rely upon their strong legs for fighting. They will leap directly onto a foe or kick them.
Leapers are used to chase fleeing foes or to engage enemies in melee quickly. They normally will knock foes prone but will sometimes push them into unfavorable terrain.
\page
#### Bullywug Poisoner
Bullywug poisoners use blowguns to shoot poisoned darts. The poison does little damage but temporarily weakens the target. These are used to make prisoners easier to deal with.
Poisoners are uncommon and there is rarely more than one with a group of bullywugs as most prefer damaging weapons. They will engage in battle if needed, but prefer to poison food if possible and avoid danger. A village with a poisoner will almost certainly invite any visitors to eat with them.
#### Bullywug Stalker
Bullywug stalkers are lookouts who hide in the mud and mire of a swamp, often alongside a path, and wait for prey to walk by. They can duck down and hide in the muck when fighting to make it harder for their foes to find and attack them. To sneak more easily, they do not carry shields.
Stalkers hide each turn in combat if they are in suitable terrain. If their hiding is successful, this allows them to move without provoking opportunity attacks, attack with advantage, and avoid being attacked.
#### Bullywug Trapper
Bullywug trappers are hunters who have learned to use magic to capture their foes. They are trained to find their foes and equipped to attack foes at range. They have improved survival to track foes and pereption to spot them. Instead of a shield and spear they wield darts and are able to make two ranged attacks with them.
Trappers on the attack use ensnaring strike to stop their foes from moving while they throw darts at them. If they are defending, trappers may use snare on a bridge, gate, or other choke point.
#### Bullywug Overseer
Bullywug overseers are the leaders of villages and warbands. They wield a whip in each hand and use them on underlings and prisoners equally. Their only special skill is their intimidation which they use to drive others to act and blame them for any failures.
Overseers remain behind others in battle. Their whips give them reach, so they can avoid getting close to their foes.
#### Bullywug Piper
Bullywug pipers play bagpipes to inspire fear in their foes. They must play the bagpipe with both hands, so they cannot carry a weapon or shield.
Pipers spend more time performing for the leader of a tribe than fighting, but they will go into battle when needed. They prefer to stay at range using cause fear and vicious mockery.
Pipers can be used in the distance playing music to provide flavor to a bullywug swamp or a meeting with a bullywug boss.
#### Bullywug Warlock
Bullywug warlocks have made a pact with an old frog being of the Feywild. They have been given power in exchange for advancing the unknowable plans of their patron. They are often leaders officially or behind the scenes, using their magic to bully other bullywugs and control their foes. Warlocks do not wear armor or carry weapons or shields as a signal that their magic makes them above such things.
Warlocks will start a combat with the sleep spell. Then they use ray of sickness to attack and debuff the most powerful enemy warrior while using Help as a bonus action to aid an ally in attacking. They will flee if the fight is going against them.
Warlocks should be the obvious leader. They can flee multiple fights and be a recurring enemy for the players to hunt down.
They use their familiar to scout. They often send their familiar with other bullywugs while they remain safe, and use awakened mind through their familiar to threaten and intimidate their foes.
