[QUOTE="Glade Riven, post: 5012034, member: 86468"] These are a couple of homebrew races that I'm working on for a Pathfinder-based campaign setting that I may eventually publish (all rules will be OLG released). The Faceless and Ironwrought were inspired by Eberron, but Eberron races arn't OLG (hence, rules are changed to protect my butt from evil lawyers). [B]Faceless[/B] [COLOR=white]The faceless are a race that is hidden from most of the world. While having a bland, near featureless face in their natural form, their natural mutability allows them to alter their appearance to look like almost anyone. The faceless are feared because of this ability, and in many cases innocent people have been hanged because of this fear.
