Bluetongue

The Trickster

Bound Abilities

Bonus Proficiencies

While bound to Bluetongue, you gain proficiency in the Deception and Persuasion skills. Additionally, Bluetongue steals power from other vestiges, granting you proficiency in one additional skill or tool of your choice for each other vestige you have bound.

Deep Pockets

While bound to Bluetongue, a pocket, bag, or other container of your choice becomes a portal to a personal extradimensional space, which is 64 cubic feet in volume. The container’s opening stretches to accommodate items of any size that can fit within the space, and items within the space are weightless until removed. When you reach into this space, any item you intend to take is magically on top.
Breathing creatures inside the container can survive up to a number of minutes equal to 10 divided by the number of creatures (minimum 1 minute), after which time they begin to suffocate.
A container loses this property, and its contents are expelled when you are no longer bound to Bluetongue.

Persuasive Words

You can cast the charm person spell once without expending a spell slot. Once you cast the spell in this way, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest. Trait: Blue Tongue While bound to Bluetongue, you can cast the disguise self spell, without expending a spell slot. Casting the spell in this way takes 1 minute. No matter what your appearance, however, whenever you speak, a serpentine blue tongue can be seen within your mouth.

A duplicitous shapeshifter, Bluetongue offers his sly words and shapechanging powers to those who bind him.

Legend

The old myths remember Bluetongue as a lizard, a liar, and a shapeshifter that traveled from land to land, scheming and swindling those that he met, such that he never needed to work. One day, Bluetongue came across a hunter’s camp whose owner had left it unguarded as he hunted for the day. Bluetongue laughed at his good fortune and stole everything from the camp that he could, including every scrap of food. When the hunter returned, he was outraged, but found a trail of food scraps dropped by Bluetongue as he ate.
When Bluetongue saw the hunter arrive at the cave where he slept, he hid his treasures and transformed into the form of a feeble old man. But the hunter was wise to Bluetongue’s tricks and set fire to the cave as he left. Bluetongue, too greedy to leave his belongings and too unfit to outrun the flames, perished in the blaze. The hunter told the story of the shapeshifter, and his story spread into legend and, eventually, into vestigehood.
Each time the story of Bluetongue is recorded, it is a little different. None can say if the original story featured Bluetongue’s theft or even his fiery punishment; every aspect of it has changed with time. Accordingly, Bluetongue’s vestige manifests as a blur of ever-shifting appearances, with the sole constant of its unchanging, serpentine tongue.
