SPECIAL TRAITS

  • Deafening Clatter. Creatures are deafened while in the swarm’s space.
  • Swarm. The swarm can occupy another creature’s space and vice versa, and the swarm can move through any opening large enough for a Medium fey. The swarm can’t regain hit points or gain temporary hit points.

ACTIONS

  • Forceful Play. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 0 ft., one target in the swarm’s space. Hit: 11 (2d8 + 2) bludgeoning damage, or 6 (1d8 + 2) bludgeoning damage if the swarm has half of its hit points or fewer.
  • Confusing Whirl (Recharge 5–6). One target in the swarm’s space must succeed on a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw, or for 1 minute, the target can’t take reactions and must roll a d6 at the start of each of its turns to determine its behavior during the turn:
    • 1–4. The target takes no action or bonus action and uses all of its movement to move in a random direction.
    • 5–6. The target doesn’t move and has disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws and attack rolls and other creatures have advantage on attack rolls against it. The only thing it can do on its turn is make a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.

ABOUT

This cackling, laughing mob consists of Pierrettes and Pierrots, the girls in full skirted frocks with tall saucy caps, the men in pantaloon suits and frills.

Pierrotfolk build playgrounds and other amusements to suit their never-ending need for fun. They have absolutely no regard for non-pierrots and will forcibly expect anyone to play with them until they die of exhaustion. Pierrots makes a huge amount of noise and create so much confusion with their playing that makes it nearly impossible to concentrate.

Often known as the King of Play, the pierrotfolk noble looks exactly like a court jester. Nobles lead the charge on the playground and are only too eager to point out new prey to keep them entertained.
