Races

Races

Some creatures derive the majority of their power from training. These are those creatures.

Humans

Humans are a diverse bunch of mammals, coming in a wide range of colors and facial structures. Many of them care strongly about their physical and cultural differences, and aspire to demonstrate that their breed of Humans is the best. The civilized, bureaucratic Gray Humans, with their imposing cities and disciplined militaries, are particularly arrogant about the superiority of their regimented way of life.

The theocratic Dark Humans, living in the subterranean realms of the Nethergrounds, are quite confident in the unparalleled excellence of their psychics.

The savage Wild Humans in their forest homes know that no other kind of Human observes its surroundings as keenly.

The confident, ambitious Blood Humans of the desert know that their practice of rewarding enterprise over empathy has led them to produce the greatest architectural wonders and finest developments in the field of Orange magic of any type of Human.

Other races are jealous of the Humans' exceptionally long lives: some Humans can live to be over a hundred years old.

Fireweasel

These weasels have ever-burning tails. Despite being related to solitary stealth hunters, they are quite sociable, possibly due to their extreme obviousness. A strong desire to impress other fireweasels with tales of their accomplishments leads to them being enthusiastic adventurers, liars, and scientists. They don't much like to share accomplishments with their competition, so are less likely to band together with other fireweasels than with members of different races.

The Fireweasel can use its two front paws as hands. Their tails are about as bright as torches.

Fireweasels are somewhat attuned with Orange energies to the point that a predominance of other colors can impair their digestion. If they have more non-Orange gems implanted than Orange ones, they must use one of their hands to clutch their stomach in agony.

Swarm

Some kinds of bees are attuned enough to Pink energies that their many miniscule souls connect to form a single individual. The oversized queen bee at the heart of the swarm is the locus for these Pink energies, and no bee in the swarm can travel more than a meter from it. The bees typically stay touching one another, using their links to share muscle power.

Any given swarm of such bees has a particular pair of stripe colors, but no two swarms have quite the same pair of colors.

Carrying Capacity 10 kilograms      Weight 30-45 Kilograms

Race  Swarm

Switching between Creature Form and Cloud Form is a move action.

The expendable nature of most of the bees in the Swarm reduces any damage taken by 1.

Being a cloud of bees makes the swarm immune to inserted and wound-based poison and disease transfer. They can also safely test things for ingested poisons by having only one bee eat a bit of the poisoned object.

While in Cloud Form, single-target attacks against the Swarm may take a -2 penalty to the attack roll in order to deal +4 Damage, by targeting the queen bee precisely. Also while in Cloud Form, the Swarm can squeeze through spaces as small as 1 centimeter wide.

When the Swarm inflicts a wound using an unarmed attack, it may inflict a wound on itself to inflict another wound on the victim, by having its members sting them.

Implanted gems merge with a small cluster of bees, since Swarms do not have faces and such per se.

Swarms are somewhat attuned with Pink energies to the point that a predominance of other colors can impair their motions. If they have more non-Pink gems implanted than Pink ones, they move at half speed.

Multiplicity Golem

This humanoid is built of steel and cobalt, and has a tendency to be in many places at once.

Race  Multiplicity golem

Classes  Special (Common) x4, Special (Elite) x4

Basic Specialties  Physical Evasion, Slippery Wit, Offensive, Sturdy

Advanced Specialties  Avoider, Sturdy, Stealthy, Perceptive

As a standard action, the Multiplicity Golem can, for each extant instance of itself, create another instance of itself within 2 meters of that instance. As a move action, the Multiplicity Golem can remove any number of instances of itself less than all of them. All instances share a single HP value, Will-based effects, spell effects, diseases and poisons, but anything which moves an instance moves only that instance. The Multiplicity Golem has only one set of actions with which to act from any of its instances, but if it takes an action that includes movement, all instances may move using the chosen movement speed up to the specified distance.

All of the Multiplicity Golem's instances have the same equipment. If any instance of the Multiplicity Golem drops or loses an item or expends a charge, all other instances lose that item or charge. If any instance of the Multiplicity Golem picks up an item or regains a charge, all other instances of the Multiplicity Golem also gain that item or charge.

Multiplicity Golems live on a Diet of Souls, are quite smart, and each instance can speak one language, chosen upon duplication.

Bellig

These hairy, bipedal reptilians are purely carnivorous, and naturally both territorial and violent. They reach adulthood at 2 years old, and are extremely weak with age to the point of death by 40. Unlike Humans, they are not typically pack animals, and would have great difficulty maintaining any sort of technological or linguistic developments if it were not for their genetic memories, and more limited ability to ingest the memories of other creatures by eating their brains.

By devouring the brain of a creature (this takes 3 Standard Actions), the Bellig can learn any one language that creature knew, or a one-hour period of that creature's memories.

Belligs are somewhat attuned with Purple energies to the point that a predominance of other colors can impair their thinking. If they have more non-Purple gems implanted than Purple ones, they must use one of their hands to clutch their head in agony.

Forbidding Tome

The forbidding tome is a sort of magic item, given sentience with the assistance of a purple gem, which must be kept inserted for it to think. People who are touching the book see an imaginary creature unique to the tome, like a skull with a spike through its forehead, or a cartoon fairy; the tome can use its imaginary creature to emote or point out interesting pages in itself.

It has no hands. While closed, the tome cannot cast its spells, but recharges its expended charges. While open, the tome can cast, but not recharge. The tome's time to recharge resets when it casts a spell. Opening or closing the tome is a lesser action, but the tome cannot open or close itself. In order to cast spells of colors other than purple, the forbidding tome needs gems of the appropriate color(s).

Forbidding tomes do not need to perform the non-vocal casting actions of spells.

Forbidding tomes have their implanted gems on their covers.

Forbidding tomes are quite smart, can speak, and know every language. They eat a diet of souls, but cannot get more than a -1 penalty to Toughness for hunger.

The Forbidding Tome cannot be given any classes that don't directly or indirectly have Adept as a prerequisite, except for Adept itself.

Gholum

Gholums are a sort of clayish humanoid, with greyish green translucent skin and sludgelike blood, which occasionally occur spontaneously in areas of heavy green magical energy. They have dull, one dimensional personalities until they bond to a person: one time in their life, they may maintain physical contact with a [ Living ] creature or corpse of one for ten minutes, after which time they take on that creature's personality, mannerisms, and speech patterns, and vaguely change in appearance to look more like that creature as well.

Geomans are intelligent humanoids from the geometric kingdom of lifeforms. They are composed of 9 cylinders, with rounded ends and joints, and a spherical head. On the head are a pair of extremely expressive eyes. Two of its cylinder ends function as "hands" via a special attractive force that allows them to touch things and pick them up or manipulate them. A Geoman speaks by making sounds come from its "mouth": a wedge-shaped indentation in its head that appears and disappears rapidly while talking, filled with large square teeth and a thick tongue.

Sauphs cannot hear or talk, but do not need to breathe. While looking at a creature within its Faint Aura, the Sauph can communicate with it by speaking directly into the creature's mind. Sauphs are all excellent lip readers. Sauphs survive on a diet of souls.

Orc

Part Cactus, part Human, these green desert-dwellers have a strong desire to form mobs every five years, for a period of about three months each time. When in mobs like this, they seldom manage to stay supplied with provisions, so mobbing times usually result in them deciding to raid nearby settlements.

For this reason, Blood Humans and Orcs are especially antagonistic towards each other.

Unlike most creatures, Orcs die at -4 HP instead of -2.

Orcs are exceptionally suited for survival without access to additional water, and only lose it to the environment at half the rate.

Dwork

Dworks are 2.2-2.5 meter tall mammalian humanoids with green skin and massive muscles. They have no hair anywhere on their bodies aside from their elaborately braided beards. Their extreme masculinity leads many ignorant observers to assume they are male, but male Dworks are actually Gnoblins.

Dworks have an unusual reaction to ale: it calms their machismo and helps them to think rationally; most of their best engineering projects (of which there are many) were only made possible by the consumption of vast quantities of ale.

Gnoblin

Gnoblins (pronounced "know blinns") are 0.9-1.2 meter tall mammalian humanoids with green skin and pitiful muscles. They have no hair anywhere on their bodies aside from their eyebrows, which stretch all around their skulls and can grow to be several centimeters long. Gnoblins are the male Dworks, and Gnoblins are always born as identical twins.

Gnoblins have an inborn tendency to be impeccably cheerful and obedient.

While it is not strictly a biological phenomenon, the various interactions of personality tendencies and sheer numbers often lead Gnoblin/Dwork cultures to develop a philosophy of Gnoblin expendability. Not every Dworken civilization has Gnoblins that would eagerly sacrifice their lives to further a Dwork's scientific experiments, but most do.

While Gnoblins can become Legend tier characters of great power, there are far fewer extremely skilled Gnoblins than Dworks despite their greater numbers.
