Overview
Ribbets are frog-like folk with smooth skin, wide eyes, and an easy affinity for water. They move comfortably between ponds, rivers, marshes, and dry land, and their amphibious nature shapes communities that thrive along coastlines and wetlands. Ribbets are often perceptive and adaptable, watching the world with patient, unblinking attention before they strike. Ribbet characters in Daggerheart bring aquatic freedom and surprising reach to any party. They explore waterways no one else can follow, and their long tongues let them snatch objects or harry foes from a distance.

Frequently asked questions
What can I do with Long Tongue besides attacking?
Long Tongue is great for utility. You can use it to grab and pull objects toward you, snatch a dropped item, or interact with things at Close range without moving. In a fight it can strike foes a bit beyond normal melee, but its retrieval and manipulation uses are often just as valuable for solving problems creatively.
Does Amphibious give any combat benefit?
Amphibious is primarily an exploration and survival feature: you breathe and move freely underwater, so submerged environments hold no terror for you. Its combat value comes from positioning, you can fight, flee, or ambush in and around water where other characters would be at a serious disadvantage.
