In ages past, there were many tribes in the northern wastes, all exponding the vitures of their totem animal, one such tribe was that
of the Frog. Over time, the other Barbarian tribes ridiculed the aspect of the Frog and due to this, Frog's children have scattered across the world. Today, it is possible to find various villages that make up the Tribe in river and lake areas in Westmarch, the jungles of Kehjistan, in the oasis areas of Aranoch, the low land marshes of Scosglen, and in isolated fjords of the Northern Wastes.

Barbarians that follow Frog have a restricted code with which they follow. Barbarians of Frog may only use the following powers. Howl and Grim Ward, Frog has the ability to scare of predators when necessary by various means, be it mimicing the sounds of larger predators or by a warning coloration to their skin. Frog is also very hardy, living in climes that are more difficult to live in, either by going to long times without certain needs or changes of the environment around them, as such Frog allows his children to use the powers of Stamina and Natural Resistance. Frog hunts by using methods of waiting for attack and leaping, as such, children of Frog may only use the attack forms of normal attack and Leap Attack. Frog does not care what weapon is used to hunt, as such Frog does not restrict his children from using any melee weapon, but does restrict them from using ranged weapons.

Frog Barbarians are allowed to pump the following powers without limit:
Leap, Leap Attack, Increase Stamina, Natural Resistance, Howl, Grim Ward, and any Melee Mastery.

Frog Barbarians can only place 1 point into required skills, and are disallowed from using any of those skills. The exception on use being Iron Skin since there is no way around not having it work, but only 1 point is allowed in it.

Frog Barbarians can only make attacks using normal attack and Leap Attack, once Leap Attack is attained, normal attack can only be used when the Barbarian is too low in mana to use Leap Attack.

They will not hurt or kill any frog creatures they encounter (bog beasts, et al). They are allowed to frighten them away (use of Howl or Grim Ward), but cannot harm them in anyway.
