==Grogger==

[[Summary::They are dwarf-like creatures, of small stature and great thirst for alcohol.]]

===Personality===

True to their name, groggers are little bundle of alcoholism and unpleasantry, but they work hard and have a very solid work ethic, which fuels their natural booze addiction.

They are born, raised and live almost all of their lives in places where they can drink, especially taverns.

===Physical Description===

They resemble dwarves in body shape, but are gnome-sized. Their beards are almost as big as their torso, and are full of food and dirt. They have very reddish, plump noses, reddened ears and are mostly bald. They have a very round tummy, with rolls of fat. They are incredibly resistant to physical harm.

They have a biological need for alcohol, despite its effects.

Groggers are an only-male population, but, despite still being able to have intercourse, they are completely sterile.

Instead, they reproduce in a unique, and disgusting way, which they have no control of: sometimes, when a grogger drinks too much, it feels the need to throw up, and sometimes, when this happens, he vomits a baby grogger, which is born already intoxicated and covered in puke. The little one is usually raised within the tavern is born in.

===Relations===

Not many races like to have around loud drunkards but they can make themselves so useful that they can be at least tolerated. They live primarly among dwarves, humans, gnomes and halflings. Some have been accepted by orcish clans.

===Alignment===

They are mostly chaotic neutral, but many examples of good or evl grooger may be found.

===Lands===

Usually they live among other races, but occasionaly some groups may create autonomous societies.

===Religion===

They are said to have been made by a god of drunkness while intoxicated, but the name of this deity is lost behind thousands of liters of booze. They pay respect to this nameless god with their constant drinking.

===Language===

Not very educated, most of them just know Common.

===Names===

They adopt the usual names of the society they live in, but have the unique custom to use their tavern of birth as their surname (such as Bob of the Little Stallion). They bring the tavern's colors and sign as a banner.

|specialtext5=By gulping down a swing of any kind of booze they may spit out a ball of fire. As a standard action, groggers that have just drunk alcohol may spit it out as a flaming sphere with a range of 15 feet. The sphere deals 1d6 of Fire damage + 1d6 per very 5 HD the grogger has. It also leaves an area of difficult terrain in the square it lands on, which deals 1 point of Fire damage to creatures that pass through it or that start their turn on it. The difficult terrain lasts one round per damage die of the fire ball.
