I had no idea these existed! And I just finished my character...
*crumples up character sheet and takes out a fresh page*
This is exactly what I did as soon as I found out about them. A new character is the only good option
I did this when I came up with the name JumJum

"uh, hi, I am Kermit the frog, and this is Kermit the Glock."
Grung gunslinger unloads into target
I would have gone with "and this is my banjo" or have you met "Miss piggy"
I always knew grippli's would be good rouges
I will always be unsatisfied with the name change to Tripkee
In your game you can name them whatever you want. I like Kermit boys
My brother played a Gripli druid in my first ever Patfhinder campaign as DM. He gave up the poison in favor of the tongue attack with reach and used it predominately to heal party members who were in combat from a safe distance or attack with touch spells. He was mostly built as a blast caster but was also the party's only healer. That bonus to Wis helped out a lot!
Really cool idea! Very clever using it for touch attacks. "Shocking lick"
@@Rookzer0 yup. I think that only happened once unfortunately, we had a min-maxed wereboar skinwalker bloodrager with a lucerne hammer who really stole the show in combat and made my life hell because I didn't know how to say no and she didn't know how to tell me what she wanted outside of the game, but we still managed to have fun and had some great characters in that game. We also had a very beta Gnoll alchemist who voluntarily gave up one of his eyes for a custom item I'd made that let him produce poisons for free but poisoned him at the same time, and a human Magus who was very straight laced and normal seeming but had the lusty soul of a bard.
Damnit you convinced me to try a Grung, I love the living in a backpack idea, but either I'm gonna need to be careful not to touch my teammate, or have them be a Warforged.
:) im glad you caught that. Could be pretty funn to make your teammates accidentally go on sone frog juice trip mid combat.
@@Rookzer0 Teammate: Why is everything so blurry? Is that a goblin, let me hit it with my sword...
My Grung: You just hit a tree with your shoe, the goblins are over there...
@@jitterbug5630 Ha ha ha
Nice!
Here to place a very fun combination team for the comments from a campaign that to this day was my favorite of all time. I played a red grippli sorcerer that was paired with a warforged armorer artificer. I literally stuck to my bros back casting spells on the back while he layed the hits in, i was also his fuel source for a spray that was equivalent to pepperspray😊
My second character is a 2-3ft tall Mogogol named Sprout. Their whole story is that they were the classic party pet that some adventurers picked up. They saw a whole adventure play out with a peaceful resolution and sought to be an adventurer just like them. And so they set out on their own adventurer to become a bard just as great and kind as the one that adopted the little frog.
And all the adventurers that adopted Sprout are characters I already made or will make to tie their whole story together.
Extra points for the bard frog. Inspiration all around
5e Grung make great clerics or paladins. Gotta find every opportunity to use touch spells or Lay on Hands on your teammates.
Healing tongue = 2d4+1
Me: I just want to play as a frog in dnd
This video: exists
Me: *bliss*
I hope you find your 🐸 place
i played a grippli gunslinger in a 3.5 eberron campaign, and he was a BLAST. i rode around on the back and shoulders of my teammates (we ruled that grippli only walk 5’ a turn, but can spend their action and move to brace and jump up to 30’). am currently working on homebrew for them and otterfolk for my upcoming campaign
Sounds awesome, make sure to check out the otterfolk video and let me know what you think.
In my last Pathfinder game we had some enemy NPC Shadowdancer Gripplis. They were pretty neat, springboarding out of shadows to croak into blow dart guns as the players moved an ancient ruin.
I might have to steal that for part of my campaign. Really cool idea!

You definetly deserve more attention, your drawings alone are amazing, your ideas are inspiring an your way of presentation is entertaining
Thanks!
My first DnD game, my friend/dm allowed me to a custom character, within reason. I was given this privilege because we would be playing at my house, and I would be providing drinks.
I've always had a love for reptiles and amphibians. So I started looking for races that fit that description. I thought about doing a snake person, then a turtle person, and then finally I stumbled upon the Grippli. I knew right away this was it!
I created a character named Ferlis(the party called me Fearless). Ferlis was basically a badass version of Kermit the frog. He was a rogue with a custom crossbow that had a drum barrel(semiautomatic). He looked like a 2 foot tall 8lb walking and talking blue and black poison dart frog. I could use my poison but only once a day. My Dm described his crossbow bolts to be like sharpened acupuncture needles.
When traveling I would have to use my fellow companions as my mode of transportation.
I don't think I mentioned it, but I did his voice like Kermit the frogs. Everytime I tried talking to a npc they would freak out, or loudly point out that I was a talking frog. I gave him a kind and intelligent speaking tone. However I made him oblivious to most workings of the world. Since grippli are kind of isolationist, I made him naive about a lot of things.
The first boss we went against was a Bugbear and as level 1s most of my team got pretty beat up. Our paladin went toe to toe with it for a while. He eventually got beaten and then it turned its attention to my character. I hit with a good shot from my crossbow and then it started to charge towards me. I knew I didn't have time to reload, so I equipped my punching daggers I had. I okayed my next move with the dm, knowing one of my hits would be at disadvantage. I leaped towards the bugbears neck, with my punching daggers extended out. I missed with one but rolled a nat 20 with the other and stabbed it in the neck slicing it open as I threw myself around and landed perfectly behind the now dead Bugbear.
Deadly kermit is definitely a good choice I'm glad it sounds like you had fun with them.
I played a grung hexblade warlock/paladin. I used the variant poison feat as well and chose gold grung. I then took magic initiate because I needed to be able to create water, shape water, and move earth so I could submerge myself in water for an hour and not get exhaustion. I also got a warpick so I could break ground and move earth if it was solid.
My friend has a Humblewood campaign, where I play a grung Totem Barbarian with 3 levels of Devine soul sorcerer named Gl'eep. He can lift and carry over 2k lbs/1k kilos. He has a 60-gallon cast iron cauldron he uses as a backpack/bed/wreacking ball. He is extra dumb but innocent and doesn't know when he casts command or friends in social interactions. We also pulled the variant Poision detail from the Monster Manual for Gold grung poison, which can charm a target. Needless to say, he is an almost perfect agent of chaos, and I love him.
You are so underrated!!!
Thank you
oh god! if I was playing one of these guys,
i would lick my eye every time i got confused.
+1 to perception checks with clean eyes
For the secreted poison- the poison is "always on". A Grippli should be able to apply their poison on their own weapons as an action. Seeing as how they have to run the blade edge of a weapon along their skin I figure the care it would take would make it an action. This means you can only attack w/poison every other round or more often with an extra attack
Good poison damage on top of your melee damage with a chance they are poisoned until the end of your (or their) next turn would potentially make it worth it to essentially sit out a round. They have good movement by climbing so this might make them a bit more of a hit and run gorilla fighter which I think makes sense
As far as a once-a-day action- once a day as an action, the Grippli can collect it's poison and place it in a vial. The amount is enough to coat 3 weapons or 30 ammunition. The poison breaks down and becomes inert within 3 days of being stored or one hour if it has been applied to a weapon
If the poison is given to another race it takes them an action to apply it to a weapon. If a Grippli applies it to a weapon it only takes a bonus action, or potentially a "use an item" but I'm leaning towards a bonus action
I like the idea of the Grippli's poison lasting 3 days. Once a day for three days at 3 doses per day means that if the Grippli has stockpiled the poison it could have 9 weapon coatings or 90 ammunition coatings. I don't think that is too much but it could be adjusted. They could never hold more 3 vials and 9 2d8 attacks every 3 days isnt particularly game breaking even if you used them all in one combat, and the action economy limits the amount of ammo used. If your feeling a little squishy about the ammo remove the chance of the poisoned condition from ammo. It's a smaller dose meaning they don't get poisoned but still take 1d8 poison damage
No proficiency in heavy weapons. Preferably nothing over a d8 worth of weapon damage so the poison can be a d8. The potential for the poison condition should allow this mechanic to be relevant to players
Depending on the class, the Grippli will probably either keep the vials itself to apply the poison as a bonus action or give it all away to boost the attacks of allies. It'll still be able to poison it's own weapons as an action either way
I also like the idea of the Grippli having a habit of running it's blade along it chest. It looks menacing but they just have a habit of applying the poison from their skin every hour
The answer is: Frog Good
i played a grippli summoner in pathfinder who was named Sir Ribble Ribbs-a-lot a few years back. He was a diplomacy loving romantic he sucked at fighting but that's what his eidolon was for.His eidolon was a female black panther named nimbus who dealt a crazy amount of damage. Ribble mainly would talk merchants prices down or flirt with women of any race. at one point he tried to flirt with two women at once and succeeded, one was a half elf the other a half orc. i forgot to mention he was a follower of Arshea, and he convinced those two to join his religion. so during some time skips he started to develop his own "Church" where he was the pope and people would pay to "pray" to Arshea. My Pope Pimp Frog was born. He was amazing and i miss playing him.
Anecdote ... My brother with his Gunslinger Griplin running down the walls and shooting as if he were a pilot and his wife with his warforged Fighter who was able to analyze high levels of sarcasm.
Hilarious that he mentions a trident as a weapon a frog giggin pole is basically a smal trident
You have a great video presence! Haha I’m 😂 irl. Nice job mate!
Thank you!
A flip-wizard! Now I wanna play one.
Takko!!!!!!
A frog bard that sings "over the rainbow"
It's not easy being green
i love your off script banter.
Thanks, I have a lot of fun making the videos. I'm glad you enjoy them!
I'm playing a grippli monster trainer whos primary pet is a 2 headed T-Rex, since im small we fly away in storms. :[ its going pretty well
that's sounds awesome, is that a homebrew or am I missing out on some sweet monster hunting action?
@@Rookzer0 3rd party its on pathfindres d20srd site, but i purchased the book and its more in debth and fun, i can apply templates tpo monsters i catch. Its similar to an summoner
"Dungeons and Daggers," sounds interesting. :)
Probably better than dungeons and dungeons, but maybe it's all about your play style
@@Rookzer0 yeah, a lot of goblin rogues aswell.
For my adventure: Red Grungs are Spores Druids and Bullywugs are Swarmkeeper Rangers.
Nice
I actually built a Grippli Ranger for a Homebrew campaign my group is doing
Awesome, how did it turn out?
ok random Idea with the poisonous skin thing, Blood Hunter Frog dude.
Ooh I like it
I wanna play a hairy frog insperied grung that is a beast barbarian and it uses it’s bone as claws
Really love to come up with strange creator
Are there hairy frogs?
@@Rookzer0 yes they are real. The hair help them get more oxygen. And I dont remember if is also them where their kids erupts out of their backs
Im actually playing right now a Mogogol Fighter, kinda like a Zoro, from One Piece, 3 katanas stuf, and a kabuto for a mount. Very Funny, very usefull. :D
That sounds like a lot of fun. How many swords do they have?
@@Rookzer0 He really carries 3 katanas, but at the system level he only has the feat for two swords, but since we took the Mugogol race from a web page that was out there, he has a skill with the tongue that allows him to grab enemies up to 5 meters, I have planned with the DM then, pay a feat to be able to use a katana with his mouth, let's see what happen in the future xD.
I played a grung monk named sappuli the great. At the end of our campaign I finished off a god sacrificing my self. The dm then made me a god and now there is at least one mention of him in every campaign
That's the best feeling, great job and much love to your DM
I have a friend who played a grung rogue in a campaign, one time he sneak attack uppercutted a man in the balls and did 42 damage and killed him... and the grungs name was Dugg Douglass
Lol thats a new one!
I had no clue what you were talking about, but that drawing was good. To do that on a computer with what looks like Photoshop was very cool.
:) Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the artwork!
Thank you for giving me the idea to annoy my DM
I've never played one but I draw them all the time
Dex/Wis would make grippli pretty good at being Gunslingers, huh? I never thought of that.
Hells yeah! As long as they have enough str to pick up the gun. Ha ha
a video about Gripli/Grung??
croak! kvækk! !Presto! schnell! szybki 速い ngokushesha!
azkarra!
everyone liked that.. apparently...
I hope that was RUclips appropriate.
@@Rookzer0 it was just "croak" in different languages..
so probably not, these days.
#I am an old man
0:26 "Dungeons and Dads"
Frog monk incoming...poison unarmed strikes, yumm.
Great choice, or you could add a tounge strike to your flurry of blows
Never played one, but I can brainstorm a concept of a Ranger/Druid/Monk that's good in forests and swamps, skilled at taking on bug-like creatures, summons rays of moon light, and has a poisonous punch to knock them into the pillar of light for just more suffering.
Sounds like a good combo!
@@Rookzer0 but also frog puns are important.
Hey you cannot take flipper he is trademark as one of my characters that I have in DND and he is a slaad. I'm only joking nice video man. Hey and I find a fence that you relate my kind to these lesser creatures at least we have the more cunning ability of making our own traps and betray you in those and stabbing him in the back when we have the ability to do so.
Lol, slaaad flipper? Touche
I love how one of the tags to this video is #datboi
Are you ever going to record your D&D sessions and post them?
I might, but it will be a while.
What do you use to these sketches?

A blood hunter Gripli, both poison and magic damage
The poison mechanism for frogs and toads. Most frogs and toads have poison glands at the base of their neck they excrete a milky white fluid that is toxic to those creatures that eat it.
Poison dart frogs eat poisonous prey to make their skin poisonous like a mucus layer or something like that.
For the Poison gland variant I would set poison damage to a D8. To poison target they must either eat the poison or take damage from weapons that is poisoned.
For the poison skin Variant I would set the poison damage to a D4 + any poison you consume added to your damage. I would limit this as the most poisonous thing you consume like a D6 extra poison damage for eating a d6 poison. And you are immune poison damage from things you eat. to poison a target they can either eat.. be hit by a weapon that is poisoned.. or touch the poisonous creature.
Ah! Very cool, thanks for clarifying that. I had completly forgotten about the gland thing, good call.
Im gonna make a froggy flip wizard now
Nice, a froggy flip wizard with a tongue whip?
A RAIN FROG NECROMANCER :0
The first game of dnd i played a grung warlock and he couldn't speak read or understand common, using his familiar to speak, and he was super trickster intentionally trying to handshake random people being all polite, until they got poisoned and got pissed, long story short, boi eventually left the party and became a really evil future enemy completely driven insane from his patron.
That sounds like a blast. Nice work, I like the idea of a familiar translator
We all know this is ment to be "The Druid".
Can druids use guns?.... I'd allow it.
@@Rookzer0 Better yet... they sell the best drugs
Handy Dandy,
Bullywugs r the buff toad people
Should Grung/Gripli have a racial tongue attack?
I think so. I would allow a grapple attempt at the minimum. Not sure I'd it would do any damage or at least not leathal damage.
@@Rookzer0 Awesome. Thanks so much. Been working on a revamp of the races in DnD (such as giving every race at least 2 subraces) and your videos really help out. Can't wait to see what you'll come up with next.
Im not into furries or amphibians.
Shame it's on you
