    • Fiddle (Recharge 5-6). The grig begins playing with its legs in a lively tune. Creatures within 30 feet that can hear the grig must make a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is charmed for 1 minute. While charmed by the grig, it uses its action to dance in place, capering comically. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. If the saving throw is successful, or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to that grig’s Fiddle ability for 24 hours.
