Enemies, Allies, and Ideas for Sidereals, Eternals, and above

I understand this, but I find it strange in a society so focused on those issues to find a non-LE Hyperborean. I think a non-LE Hyperborean is really as common as a good demon, unless a creature becomes a Hyperborean with the teaching of a Hyperborean master that its itself dissident with the central body and allows the pupil to mature and get its own idea away from the toxic environment of the standard Hyperborean.
It depends on how you view a culture and it's ethics. The tenets the Hyperboreans hold true to are lawful, monk like, and evil, but the people themselves are just people. They're forced into a situation, they can't say no or they die, over time that becomes their reality. That's how Stockholm syndrome works, eventually you see your captors and their methods as good or benevolent, does that mean they're not evil? I think so, but does it mean in actions they wouldn't be acting as evil? Well a basic Intimidate check can force an enemy to act as a friend for a limited time. I suppose it's really up to DM interpretation. Most the Hyperboreans I see as more extremely diluted and batshit insane vice truly evil, but change their alignment to whatever you like in your campaign. I kind of based them on Saiyans and Frieza Soldiers, so they're effectively evil, regardless of their personal beliefs or private inclinations.

Why would you expect all the members of an entire civilization, a civilization spanning the multiverse, to be the same alignment? The Hyperboreans are a conglomeration of millions of different species thrust together into a situation. The template I made was just that, a template, something to be added to a preexisting being, not a race like the Drow or Demons or something.
I thought Hyperboreans were all one alien race?
 



Why are they all so human-like then? Do, say, dragon or aberration Hyperborians exist?
Because I've made like 3 of them that I've posted and making humanoids are easier lol :p

They don't care if something is specifically humanoid or not, just if they can conquer it and it will add something to the collective whole of the group. Hyperborean dragons, demons, pseudonaturals, etc all could, should and do exist.

Speaking of other humanoid Hyperboreans...

Kit is a professional soldier, once part of a spacefaring humanoid colony that was conquered when she was still young, she is now in the employ of the Hyperborean Supremacy, she has a tactical mind and trains hard but lacks the discipline or overall base potential or dedication to the body that other hyperboreans have, as such, she has taken to using heavy weapons and heavy armor to support her fellows from a distance and makes up for her shortcomings with technology becoming a proficient sniper and long range combatant and a cunning starfighter.

Combat:

Kit is a careful fighter, keeping her aura suppressed at most times and prefers to kill from the shadows than up close, though she’s happy to use her naturally high strength and powered armor to beat foes to a pulp if they mistake her carefulness for cowardice. She is fond of using an Ultrasonic knife and her power cestuses in melee electrifying and peeling foes apart on a molecular level.

From a distance Kit will bombard enemies with powerful plasma based attacks. Her Plasma Caster allows her to channel her natural prana effects into the weapon increasing it’s damage and dazzling foes shot by it. She will open combat up with a cryo missile, targeting spellcasters and bards, hoping to paralyze enemies and will shoot the wounded dead from there.

If caught by a particularly powerful enemy she will use her many feats to her advantage unleashing a constant barrage of blaster fire upon her enemies and will rely upon her force field and heavy armor to keep her safe. Once engaged in melee she uses her power cestuses and her flurry of blows to pound out enemies and uses her warp hole generator to escape to a safe distance before resuming her unending barrage of blaster fire.

If death seems imminent she will use her ship to lay an orbital bombardment, flee to her ship, and attempt to escape.

Special Abilities:

Spell Like Abilities: CL: 10

1/Minute: Dimension Door

1/Hour: Teleport (no chance of failure)

1/day: Greater Teleport

Prana Effect (Su): Kit Assaults foes with her own Life Energy, She is only a fledgling Hyperborean with only basic Prana control, unable to even manifest a basic prana ray, she can only imbue her Aura and Fists with Prana
-Hand 10d3 Melee Touch or with Unarmed Strike
-Storm 2d3 50 ft radius, Ref DC 22/half or None DC 22 Fort vs Dazzled 1 round, constant effect. Applies Space Armor’s musical effect as well

Flurry of Blows (Ex): Kit can use Flurry of Blows as a level 1 Monk

Short Burst (Ex): Kit can opt to fire 3 shots instead of 1 per attack, this increases damage and chance to hit at the cost of weapon charge. She deals +1d8 damage and gains a +2 Circumstance bonus to attack rolls with all shots fired this way per round. (She is assumed to be always using this ability and it is factored in already above.)

Long Burst (Ex): Kit can use her Caster to lay down covering fire or shoot up an area equal to 4 10 ft squares wide and one range increment (300 ft) long, by concentrating or spreading her fire she can create an effect that deals her base Plasma Caster damage +1d8. She must fire at least 10 shots into any one square to do this, by firing at least 10 shots into a square the DC is 10+1/2 Level +Perfection +Dex (DC 25) by firing more or less rounds into a single square she can increase this DC. She can unleash a maximum of 45 rounds per round to a maximum DC of 60 is she fires all her shots into a single 10 ft by 300 ft line

Concussion Grenade (Ex): As a standard action, Kit throws a grenade at a foe or group of foes. This explodes the following round dealing 5d6 concussion damage in a 10 ft burst (half force half bludgeoning) and stuns enemies who fail a DC 16 Fortitude save for 1d4 rounds

From the Hip: Kit can fire even heavy weapons without use of a tripod or other hardpoint using a wide stance and her heavy armor in it’s place. She suffers no penalty by firing a heavy weapon in such a way but does not gain the +2 stability bonus to attack rolls for firing in such a way

Snap Shot: Kit can fire an additional attack at her full base attack bonus at the cost of a -2 to all attacks made that round

Nescience: Ignore prerequisites for any feats

Celerity (Ex): x3 movement speed

Force Field (Su): a barrier of energy surrounds Kit out to a 5 ft radius around her, blocking the first 50 points of damage She takes. This barrier regenerates at a rate of 1 point per round and blocks all damage and other effects as a wall of force until it is broken.

Equipment:
Tac Armor:
Heavy space age armor used by low level Hyperboreans and various other spacefaring species. This grants a +9 Armor Bonus to AC, +1 to Attack Rolls, +4 Strength, +10 to Movement Speed, a +2 to Survival Checks, has an onboard Holographic projector and recorder and the ability to connect to the extranet

Personal Warp Hole Generator: Folds the fabric of space allowing near instantaneous travel like teleportation magic but is simply a scientific and therefore an Extraordinary ability, but must recharge. 1/ minute can Dimension Door 1000 Feet as a move action, 1/hour can Teleport with no chance of failure, 1/day can Greater Teleport

Tracking and Targeting Computer: A modification to the Space armor but may be applied to belts, gauntlets, eyepieces, or any other item slot if one desires. Grants a passive +20 Survival check for purposes of tracking a foe and once a target has been designated can mark a target and provide basic directional information even lightyears away. This can target invisible or incorporeal foes but the foe must remain within 10 lightyears and must remain on this plane of existence.


Boots of Celerity: High performance boots allowing for lower level hyperboreans to move much quicker. Grants the Celerity Divine Ability.

Heavy Plasma Caster: A +2 heavy automatic plasma machine gun of hyperborean make. This weapon deals 4d12 base plasma damage and enjoys a x4 Crit. This weapon has energy conduits that allow a hyperborean to transmit some of their life force into the weapon’s attacks dealing damage as per the “Prana Strike” Effect power.

Power Cestuses: Electrified adamantine gauntlets that deal 2d4 base damage and 4d6 additional Electricity damage. Wearing these does not affect your dexterity and you are treated as armed when wearing them for purposes of dealing damage and accruing attacks of opportunity but unarmed for purposes of delivering touch attacks.

Ultrasonic Knife: A +2 hypersonic dagger that vibrates with a loud whine and eerie white light. Deals 4d6 additional Sonic damage per hit and ignores Hardness up to 40

Breather Unit: a Hyperborean gadget and weak shielding unit that creates a bubble of breathable air, weak radiation shielding and stable ambient temperature around the user while in use. The user is treated as able to breathe and has Endure Elements cast upon them while the unit is in use, allowing them to fight in the vacuum of space.

HEAP Missiles: High Explosive Anti Personnel Missiles, these deal 10d6 fire damage in a 30 ft burst and are used as Kit’s backup missiles

NPC Hyberborean gear: Hyperborean Carrying Case (type 4 bag of holding, weighs 1 pound regardless of internal contents, uses a computer to easily switch through inventory) 1d4+1 Healing salves (1d4 lethal damage converted to subdual damage), 100 food pills (pills providing a full day’s worth of sustenance and hydration) protein wafers, 1d3 poison and disease tonics (+5 vs poison or disease allows immediate new saving throw), healing kit, emergency computer with distress beacon good out to 10 lightyears, Concussion Grenades x 6, emergency rations, change of form fitting high mobility clothing, other various personal items

Ok, now it explains. Will you publish the Prana Warrior in the next days?
Indeed I will. The class used by Kit btw is called the Combat Trained and it's from the V for Victory, World War 2 3.5 setting. It basically is like a fighter but has access to some unique feats and gains an ability called Defensive Bonus which gives her a +1 Circumstance Bonus to AC per level but is lost if she's unconscious, helpless or bound
