Minor Grimmlands Characters

Hansel and Gretel are the proprietors of the Gingerbread Inn.  They pretend to be the children of the owners whenever travelers stop in search of lodging for the night.  Hansel takes care of guests upon arrival, conducts repairs to the inn and serves as the general handyman.  Gretel takes care of the cooking and cleaning (and dismembering the bodies as needed).

• Bite (Ex): A Glutton gains a bite attack.  If the bite is used to attack in the same round as a weapon, its takes a -5 penalty to the attack roll and receives no bonus to damage from Strength
• Fairy Tale Immortality (Su): As a well-known fairy tale creature, Hansel is functionally immortal and does not age; If reduced to fewer than zero hit points, he is still rendered unconscious but continues to heal at his normal rate until reaching at least 1 hp, at which point he awakens and may act normally.
• Ravenous Appetite: As if some strange magic has come over the character, the character continues to grow with each meal. At every meal, he must make a Will save (DC 25) or be compelled to continue to eat until no food is left. After 100 failures, the character gains the glutton template and retains this trait. Unlike other Gluttons, neither Hansel nor Gretel show any signs of weight gain from their compulsive eating.
• Improved Grab (Ex): If the glutton hits with its bite attack, it deals normal damage and can start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity.  If the opponent is two sizes categories smaller than the glutton, the glutton can attempt to Swallow its opponent whole with another successful Grapple check.
• Swallow Whole (Ex): A gluttonous creature that begins its turn with an opponent held in its mouth or pinned in a Grapple can attempt to swallow the opponent.  If it succeeds, it swallows its prey and the victim takes bite damage.  The opponent can be up to two size categories smaller than the glutton.  A swallowed creature is considered to be grappled but the glutton is not.  A swallowed creature can attempt to cut its way free with any light slashing or piercing weapon (stomach AC11, 4hp) If the swallowed creature escapes, muscular action closes the opening and other swallowed creatures must cut their own way out.  A swallowed creature takes 1d6+1 damage plus 4 acid damage per round spent in the glutton's stomach.  Hansel's stomach can hold 1 Tiny or 4 Diminutive or smaller creatures at once.
• Skills: A glutton takes a -4 penalty on all Dex-based skill checks.  Hansel's Chosen Class Skills are: Appraise, Climb, Craft, Diplomacy, Handle Animal, Jump, Knowledge (Local), Profession, Sense Motive and Swim.
