Rongo Tribe

The Rongo are the only halfling tribe that inhabit the coast of the mainland, rather than in islands. Their home is the dangerous mangrove swamps of the Fang Marsh, full of alligators and mosquitoes. This unhospitable home was chosen by the Rongo in the seek of a refuge: they are peaceful people, they only want to live quietly, and never be disturbed. Instead of seeking new stories to tell, they choose to move to a fertile and productive land where no one would ever dare to invade. Other halflings will tell you that the Rongo are cold, distant and boring. However, there's also a saying between halflings which says that there's no thing in the Turqoise Sea as trustworthy as a Rongo: they always met their words, and they never rarely ever tell a lie. And they never ever forget something... or forgive it.

Common Customs, traditions and rituals

GRIEVANCES SHALL NOT BE FORBIDDEN The Rongo is a tribe of people who had chosen to live between storms and alligators instead of untrustworthy people. Even though they're quiet and calm, they never tolerate injustice or attack. Thus, they always keep in their minds what they have suffered, and they always seek to make people pay for the suffering of others who didn't deserved it. Tribal tradition rules: Rongo characters will always try to "avenge" a character that is near death, dead or under poison, even when they risk their lives by doing so. Not doing so will be considered a violation of this tradition and the character will risk to become Tainted

Subracial traits: Ability score increase: your Strength score increases by 1 Rongos' abnegation: when applying their tradition rules the Rongo character will double their proficency bonus when attacking, and will add it (without doubling it) to their CA. This rules only applies once (even if they are avenging more than one character, they won't accumulate this effect).
