Featherweight Touch Duck Racial Power
With the power of the ancient mallards of Duckworld, you touch an object distort its size and shape to become duck-worthy.
Encounter
Minor Action Melee 1
Target: One object that is sized for a Medium or Small creature, is not inside a container, does not contain anything, and is not held, worn, or carried by anyone other than you.
Effect: The target shrinks to a size appropriate for a Tiny creature’s use. The new size ends at the end of your next extended rest unless the shrunken target is on your person. The size also ends if you or another duck uses this power on the shrunken target. While shrunk, the target keeps its game statistics, such as damage dice and weight. A shrunken weapon, however, becomes an improvised one-handed weapon for a non-Tiny creature.


Winged warriors of the sky, ducks have been known as the fiercest race of all recorded history...actually ducks tend to just hang around ponds and whatever the elderly feed them...but there are some ducks who like to venture forth and turn into legends.

Play a Duck if you want...

  • To have feathers and/or quack a lot.
  • Confuse your friends
  • To be freakin' duck
  • To be a member of a race that favors the assassin, druid, and ranger classes.

Physical Qualities[edit]

Small, about the size and height of a halfling's waist with different colors of feathers being either pure white, tan or some more colorful combination. Their webbed feet help them swim and their beaks make for a effective tool for pecking

Playing a Duck[edit]

Quacking is often encouraged in duck culture. In fact, a duck that does not quack is often banished from the duck tribe. Ducks typically are not expected to do much but when a duck finds itself in a situation where it needs to defend itself or its people it will strike with the swiftness of a...well, the swiftness of a duck.

Duck Adventurers[edit]

Three sample Duck adventurers are described below.

Gary is a duck fighter. He was waddling a bit farther than usually from the pond one day and stumbled upon an abandoned battleaxe. He picked it and from that day forth Gary could not get enough of the warrior life-style. Random duels in the middle of the streets. Brawls in the darkest of taverns. And slaying dragons by the dozens in ancient dungeons.

Lucile is a duck rogue. She was raised on a duck farm to steal from unsuspecting old people feeding ducks at ponds. Her skills became so good that she eventually snuck away from her owner and started a life of a thief. She can steal anything for the right price, and all that she leaves behind is a single unassuming feather.

Tim is duck ranger. He is a beastmaster with a wolf companion......he WAS a beastmaster with a wolf companion... He was later resurrected and now obeys a necromancer occasionally.
