[QUOTE="Nellisir, post: 4059719, member: 70"] [b]True20 & leshii[/b] No recent updates, because I've been buying, reading, and absorbing True20. Think I've found my new ruleset, folks. And the good news is, I now own every significant True20 pdf there is (OK, except the Wild West one). As a reward for your patience, here's the True20 version of the leshii! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leshii are a race of amoral, solitary fey that inhabit deep forests. They embody the harsh reality that is life in the wild. [B]Personality[/B] Leshii are dispassionate, amoral, and cunning. They are not particularly deep thinkers, and waste little time on ephemeral concepts like good and evil. They attend to their own needs, and expect others to do the same for themselves. Leshii rarely get attached to material possessions, but have a strong sense of territory, and interlopers into a leshii's hunting ground invariably become prey. [B]Description[/B] Leshii are humanoid, with some treelike features. Their skin resembles bark, and their hair has branchlike tendrils woven through it. Leshii can live upwards of three centuries, but rarely show signs of age. [B]Relations[/B] Leshii are regarded with fear and suspicion by people living close to the deep woodlands, but regarded more as a curiosity than a threat by others. Warmer relations are hampered by the tendency of wild leshii to kill almost anyone straying into their territories. Leshii and elves avoid each other when possible, and gnomes occasionally strike alliances with them. [B]Society[/B] Leshii society is something of an oxymoron, given their limited numbers and solitary nature. They live simple lives in the wilderness, hunting and gathering what they need to survive. Relations between the sexes are usually brief and aggressive, but occasionally two leshii will form a partnership, usually in an area of plentiful hunting. There are no recognized leshii kingdoms or realms, since leshii rarely do more than mark out an individual domain with the bones of slain trespassers. [B]Adventurers[/B] Leshii occasionally become bored or curious, and leave their territories to become adventurers. Their hardy nature and woodland talents makes them much sought-after as guides and guards. [B]Background Traits[/B] [B]Ability Adjustments:[/B] +1 Con [B]Bonus Feats:[/B] Great Fortitude, Night Vision, Talented (Survival & Stealth) [B]Favored Feats: [/B] Fascinate, Sneak Attack [B]Natural Attacks:[/B] Leshii have natural slam attacks that inflict 1+ Str damage with a successful unarmed attack. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [B] Lineages[/B] The differences between male and female leshii are greater than those between most humanoid races, and their numbers are far fewer. As a result, leshii have only two lineages - male and female. [B]Lineage - Male[/B] Male leshii are slightly taller than humans, with rough skin like bark, thick hair interwoven with willowy branches, and a "crown" of branches and bone around their heads. They prefer a physical life with few attachments or possessions, and are often rangers or scouts. [B]Ability Adjustments:[/B] +1 Str [B]Bonus Feats:[/B] Endurance, Skill Focus (Survival) [B]Favored Power:[/B] Nature Reading [B]Natural Armor:[/B] Male leshii gain a +1 natural armor bonus to Toughness. [B]Lineage - Female[/B] Female leshii are much more human in appearance, at least from a distance. Their skin is pale and smooth, reminiscent of birch bark, and their hair is invariably shimmering gold or darkest ebony. They often seduce solitary travellers, sometimes killing them afterwards, or taking them as a servant, but just as often abandoning them with the sunrise. They are as hardy as their men, but more covetious and can their affections or goodwill can sometimes be (briefly) won by gifts of jewelry or fine clothes. They often seek out supernatural sources of power, becoming druids or witches.
