Cradle Snatchers: Stats and Fluff
Fluff #
Much of the original fluff for Cradle Snatchers is in the original writeup, but I will confirm a few things here:
- Cradle Snatchers are Identical Men who have lost their skin (for whatever reason),
- When this happens, their role (in the eyes of their fey masters) shifts from that of a social infiltrator to a stealth infiltrator,
- Or, alternately, a tool of intimidation.

CR 1
Size Is A Suggestion. Cradle Snatchers can, while spending 1 extra foot of movement for every 2 feet moved, traverse a gap one size smaller than them. Round up how many feet of movement they use.
Living Bone Pile. Cradle Snatchers may spend an action to change their size to Small, Medium, or Large 3 times per day. All attacks gain 5 feet of reach while they are Large.
Prized Puppet. Cradle Snatchers do not possess an individual will. Thus, they receive disadvantage on saving throws against magic such as Command or Geas, and advantage on saving throws against Charmed and Frightened.
Mute. Cradle Snatchers cannot speak.
