This page is of questionable balance. Reason: Stronger than any first party race and uses incomplete and incorrect wording throughout. The traits need to be mechanically worded correctly as they are often vague or written like casual conversation. Ability to distribute their ASI's potentially allowing for a +4 to a single ASI. 45 movement speed. Overall poorly executed and needs a rework both from a mechanic and lore perspective to better integrate with the first party content. Consult the 5e Race Design Guide for help and see the Featured Articles pages for some exemplary content.

The exact origin of the Mongrel is not known, but it commonly joked about by older Mongrel that they were originally pets of a very powerful but lonely Wizard.

Society

Mongrel have many small and large communities all over the world, but prefer living in Grasslands and Forests. Every 4-5 years all young Mongrel of a community will group together to go on an adventure to explore the world, however, very few ever finish their quest and often return 1 by 1 within a year. Some do continue on, even alone, and never leave adventuring until much later in life. It is rare, but not unheard of for some to take up residents in Human or Elvish communities.


Whenever 2 Mongrel cross paths they immediately welcome each other speak as though they are long lost friends. They share stories of where they are from and what news they have of nearby Mongrel communities. Violence between Mongrel is unheard of and never crosses their minds no matter how big of an argument or quarrel they have.

gollark: Or use our managed service, where you send web applications to deploy.
gollark: Oh, right. Well, you could rent server time on the osmarks.tk™ cloud platform. We have over 50% uptime.
gollark: <@259973943060856833> If you rented a VM for Krist that would probably - without special configuration - only allow CPU mining. Which is too slow.
gollark: To be fair, Knights Whatever were Xeon Phi and now cancelled, I think. But still.
