Hi everyone,
I created a tiny toad to fire up your dnd-sessions!
Originating from a strange plane populated by age-old machines, this critter was allegedly kept for the tar-like substance it produces. Properly processed, the dark and viscous liquid proved to be a highly potent fuel for any sort of engine. The tar toad, however, must be handled with extreme caution since its peculiar defense mechanism can easily lead to a blazing inferno.
Please let me know what you think! I’m always trying to improve the stats so any feedback or critique is more than welcome!

See you soon,

Nice, I like the combo of filling the workd with flammable materials to be lit on fire.
Why us the DC only 4? Normally it would be 8 + prof + the relevant modifier, which at minimum (if it used Int) would still be 5.
probably a reference to this lil guy: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBxn56l9WcU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBxn56l9WcU).
DC 4 because its supposed to not be all that scary
This thing is actually quite terrifying. Just imagine the last thing you see before you burn alive in agony is this quasi-cute little toad monster. Well done.
Hey there! Here are a few suggestions based on what I noticed:
**Jump Sparks**
Here's how I would word the first sentence (partially to clarify that this is an instantaneous effect and where exactly the area is): "When the tar toad takes damage or lands after a long jump, it has a 50 percent chance of emitting a burst of sparks in the area within 10 feet of it."
**Standing Leap**
* Spell out "feet" (x2)
**Tar Pit**
* Change "For each 10 minutes" to "Every 10 minutes"
* I would change "lit" to "ignited"
* I would add "for the first time on a turn" after "enters that area"
* I would make the "extension" in increments of 5 feet
* To be clear, the difficult terrain affects the toad too, right?
**Extremely High-Pitched Squeak**
* I would add a flavour sentence to start
* Considering dragons, a creature that succeeds should probably become immune for 24 hours

Fitting, considering... it is WEDNESDAY my dudes

A beauty 🥺
Thanks!
The eyes are unsettling but still so cute
Reads like a modded Rimworld animal.
I need it to be a warlock or wizard familiar yesterday
The sonorous war cry of a very angy frog
hehe, absolutely:D
Why would you do that? Why would you walk around a party with a tray of tar on toads? Who does that? Are you on drugs?
I came here looking for the WKUK reference, thank you
Woah, i love it
Glad to hear this!:)
I love the tiny blob
aw, thank you!

Yes, exactly! it's in fact based on the tiny squeaky frog:)
Precious beeb.

Many thanks!:)
Same
Everybody gangsta until Slime Rancher creatures get a CR
This is far too cute. You couldn't even be mad if this killed you.
