Editing Spriggan (section)

===5th Edition===
Spriggans have yet to enter 5th edition officially, but a 3rd party take on them can be found in [[Ulraunt's Guide to the Planes]]: [[Acheron]]. Here, they are presented as an attempt by the Netherese of the ancient [[Forgotten Realms]] to warp [[gnome]]s into a slave race, inspired by [[Urdlen]], that basically succeeded. The now-malevolent and twisted gnome-kin can be found mostly on [[Acheron]].

Weirdly, they're presented as a playable race in this book as well, although the authors admit that spriggans, being evil, are not really suited for the role. Ulraunt's Spriggans use the [[Gnome]] core race (see that page), and the following subrace mechanics:
::Ability Score Increase: +1 Constitution
::Short-Lived: Spriggans only live to be up to 100-150 years old, and mature at the same rate as [[human]]s.
::Giant Growth: Using an action, you can increase your size to Huge for up to 1 minute or revert back to your regular size. For the duration, your weight is multiplied by 32, you have advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws, and you can't be affected by other spells and abilities that change your size. If there isn't enough room for you when you grow in this manner, you revert to your normal size. When you revert to your normal size, you gain one level of exhaustion. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
