![[Totoroni Attack.webp]] # Mustari Traits #### Ability Score Increase: - +2 Dexterity - +1 Charisma - -2 Wisdom (They are enthusiastic but not known for their foresight.) **Age:** Mustari mature quickly, reaching adulthood at 6 years old and living up to 40 years, though many don’t make it that far due to lack of survival skills. ##### Size & Speed: Small (ranging from 3 to 4 feet tall, with long, lanky bodies). Speed: 35 ft. (They are constantly moving, usually bounding instead of walking.) ##### Nap-Powered Mustari require at least 18 hours of sleep per day to function normally. If they do not complete this, they suffer: - -2 to all Intelligence and Wisdom-based skill checks due to grogginess. - Disadvantage on Initiative rolls as they struggle to wake up properly. - They can also take a short rest in just 15 minutes if they are in a warm, safe environment. If they complete a full long rest, they gain advantage on their first Dexterity-based check or saving throw after waking up. #### Hyperactive Agility Mustari have advantage on Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks but disadvantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks due to their impulsive nature. #### Boundless Energy - **Dook-Dook:** Mustari can take the Dash or Disengage action as a Bonus Action once per short rest. - After completing a Dash action, they must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution save or suffer one level of exhaustion, as they often forget to pace themselves. #### Ferret-Like Reflexes When subjected to an area of effect (such as a Fireball or dragon’s breath), they may roll Dexterity saving throws at advantage. **Can't hit me!**: Mustari are naturally nimble, quick and unpredictable. Because of this they have a natural +2 to AC. #### Easily Distracted If a Mustari rolls a natural 1 on an Investigation or Perception check, they immediately become fascinated by something nearby (DM’s discretion), losing focus for 1d4 rounds unless shaken out of it. #### Tunnel Vision Mustari have advantage on Stealth checks when squeezing through tight spaces, climbing, or burrowing. However, they have disadvantage on Insight checks when trying to read social cues, as their minds are usually ten steps ahead or completely elsewhere. ##### Unyielding Affection *Mustari are overwhelmingly friendly, making them both endearing and exhausting: - Advantage on Persuasion checks to make friends. - Disadvantage on Intimidation checks, as they rarely seem threatening even when they try. ##### Mustari Culture & Daily Life Mustari rarely form large settlements, preferring scattered burrows and treehouse villages. Their towns often seem abandoned during the day, as most Mustari are asleep. One example of this is [[WeftWhisper Hollow]]. The Mustari are kind by nature and loving but fierce in battle, for as long as they can remain awake. Knowing one is to know love, true unbridled, chaotic love. ![[WeftWhisper Hollow.webp]] Activity ramps up at night in a chaotic flurry of excitement before crashing down again at dawn. - Mustari who travel with non-Mustari companions often fall asleep mid-conversation, requiring their allies to carry them or wake them up when needed. - Many become traveling performers, scouts, or messengers, often forgetting their original reason for leaving and picking up new goals along the way. - They worship deities of joy, speed, and chaos such as [[Jioska]] , though their temples are often unfinished or covered in “projects” they never completed. - They disappear randomly, only to be found curled up in a backpack, drawer, or warm pile of laundry.
