SPECIAL ABILITIES

Poison Use (Ex)

Buckawns never risk accidentally poisoning themselves when applying poison to a blade. They favor moonseed berries as poison and usually have a plentiful supply readily available.

These small berries are bluish-purple and resemble wild grapes. They are highly poisonous and are often mixed with food or crushed and smeared on a weapon or object.

Moonseed Berries: poison—contact or ingested; save Fort DC 13; frequency 1/round for 4 rounds; effect 1d2 Con; cure 1 save; Price 1,500 gp.

ECOLOGY

Environment temperate forests
Organization gang (2–4), band (6–11), or tribe (12–20)
Treasure incidental

Buckawns are somehow related to brownies, but they are nowhere near as kind-hearted and playful. Buckawns are extremely reclusive and rarely have dealings with outside races. Trade of any kind between a buckawn tribe and another race is virtually unheard of.

Characters who journey into a buckawn’s realm are usually left alone, providing they themselves leave the buckawn’s realm alone. Trespassers, evil-doers, and those that disturb the natural beauty of a buckawn domain are dealt with quickly–and permanently if necessary.

A buckawn stands about 2 feet tall and weighs about 30 pounds.

Buckawns favor daggers and darts in combat. They readily use poisoned blades when confronted with a tough opponent, when outnumbered, or when battling opponents for whom they have great disdain.
