  Abilities and Attacks —

  Strange Mixture. +4 to hit, range 40 feet, 5ft radius. Hit: 8 (2d6+2) acid damage. Targets that take this damage, also take an additional 1d4 acid damage at the start of each of its turns. A creature can end this damage by using its action to make a DC 12 Dexterity check to scrape the gunk from them. If they submerge themselves in water, the material washes away.

  Small Stature. Berryhop may take the Disengage, or Hide actions as a bonus action. She can also Hide behind medium or larger creatures.

  Foraging Expert. Berryhop can make 1 potion of Uncommon rarity or lower (such as a potion of hill giant’s strength or a potion of healing) if she spends at least 8 hours in a day foraging for rare alchemical materials. If she has at least two other creatures helping her, she can do this task in 4 hours. Additional help does not make this task quicker, as she is forced to correct other’s foraging.

  Quick Description: This gnome girl has an easygoing, gap toothed smile, and a dogged determination to carry a massive wicker basket of mushrooms without complaint. Her curly white hair is tied back in a ponytail, but for a single pink strand that she twists absentmindedly when she talks.

  More information: Berryhop’s fantastic skills as a forager is one of the primary things keeping the Springwillow family (some score or so people) from poverty. She also has a near photographic memory, and can draw likenesses of mushrooms or people alike, after even the briefest moment of study. Berryhop’s greatest secret, though, is that she is a genius alchemist and potion maker.

  Goal: Berryhop’s deepest desire is to become an adventurer. Since her family is financially reliant on her income, she is reluctant to travel further than a day or so from home.

  Complication: Despite being in her mid thirties, she is also a hopeless romantic and prone to school girl crushes irrespective of gender or sapient fantasy species. This makes her a poor judge of character.

  Loot: Berryhop and her family are not wealthy. She has 1 silver and 8 copper tucked into her apron. In addition to 4 of her Strange Mixture potions, she also has 1 potion of resistance to acid. She carries an oversized basket of mushrooms that can serve as 5 days rations.

  Quest Hook: Berryhop has no ambitions of her own, but is willing to adventure with folk that seem kind and altruistic. As long as this adventure takes her no further than a day or so travel. It would take a catastrophic disaster for her to leave her family behind.
