Croaking Laughter (Su) Bufonals' laughter is a booming, croaking sound that can disturb listeners. When a bufonal laughs as a standard action, anyone hearing the laughter within 60 feet has to succeed a Will saving throw (DC 19). Failure renders the creature dazed for 1 round. Regardless of success or failure, each creature becomes immune to dazing effects of croaking laughter for the next 24 hours, though they still can find it to be hilarious and join the laughter.

Genteltoad's Cane (Su) Bufonals' cane are actually magic +2 speed sword canes that are bound to the bufonal themselves. A bufonal can conjure own cane back into its hand as a swift action. A genteltoad's cane loses its power if its master is killed.

Honorary Lordship (Ex and Su) According to ancient treaties, among the fey the bufonals enjoy a status of minor lordlings, granting them sanctuary effect (DC 19) but only against actions of fey and entities and devices controlled by fey.


Bufonals are toad agathions, known for their good, but vain and self-centered natures, their foppishness, boisterousness, and bragging. They are also generous, helpful, and gregarious, and unlike many other dandies, they aren't snobbish, and despite their vanity they are almost impossible to insult, finding attempts to be rude as hilarious, interesting, or reading them in completely wrong way.

Their names always include an aristocratic title of some sort.
