Message: <blockquote data-quote="Arknath" data-source="post: 461992" data-attributes="member: 2850">The LarcetanHere is the custom race known as the Larcetan.  Let me know what you all think of it.The Larcetan have been on the land of Ersadia for as long as any can remember.  It is said that they are the native inhabitants of Ersadia, before the Coming.  No Larcetan kingdoms have been known to exist in the history of the race.      The Larcetan are a goodly race, striving for peace and justice. However, when aroused, the lizard-like people can be devastatingly effective.  The spend most of their days, though, crafting great weapons and armor for the simple love of doing so.Personality: The typical Larcetan is a kind-hearted, bull-headed being that does what is best for the general population of goodly races.  They are dedicated craftspeople and love creating new and exciting weapons, armors, and items to help make their lives a little easier or make the world a little safer.  The only races on Ersadia that can rival the Larcetanian armor and weaponsmiths are the dwarves and the elves.  Physical Description: Larcetan are anywhere from around 8 feet to 10 feet tall and weigh approximately 500-700 pounds.  They are lizard like creatures that walk upon two legs and look like a large velociraptor with arms proportionate to their lizard-like bodies.  They are covered in scales that are one of two colors: green or white.      The green scaled Larcetan tend to have yellow to gray eyes and the white (or albino Larcetan) have blue, black, or green eyes.  Long sharp claws adorn their hands and feet and they have strong, thick tails that can also be used for attack.  Their maws are full of small, sharp teeth in which they can use to rend an opponent within minutes.Relations:  Larcetan generally get along with other races, as long as they are not evil representatives of that race.  They revere dwarves, elves, and gnomes for their love of crafting weapons, armor, and other such trinkets.  They have a mild tolerance for humans, half-elves and half-orcs because of those short-lived race’s tendencies to rush work and play.    Larcetan take non-standard PHB races on a case-by-case basis.Alignment:  Most Larcetan are lawful in nature.  They have a rigid hierarchical structure to their society and each individual is expected to behave and respond accordingly. Lands:  The Larcetan live in the Ivory Valley in the central southern region of Ersadia.  They enjoy the tropical climates and the surrounding mountains provide a strategic natural defense system against foreign invaders.      Religion: Larcetan take their religions very seriously.  In fact, an individual will not make a life-changing decision without sitting in prayer to their patron or matron god.  Larcetan have their own pantheon and their society usually consist of clerics, mystics and paladins.  They tend to worship gods of craft, nature, good, law, and war.Languages: Larcetan have no vocal chords so they are not capable of speech as other humanoids are.  However, they have their own language consisting of high pitched squeals and only other Larcetan can hear and understand.  This language is not written, so they have no documents from which non-Larcetans can learn the language.  One of the most sacred part of Larcetan life is their language and they will not teach it to anyone who is not a Larcetan, ever.    Larcetan also communicate by emitting a scent to other Larcetans.  Below, is a list of scents that Larcetan use to communicate with non-Larcetans. Larcetan do not guard this form of communication at all, but rather take pains to teach it to all of those who ask to learn it.  It is used for communications with traders and diplomatsNames:  Like many civilizations, the Larcetan have many families with trades and occupations that apply to their family name.  However, all Larcetan family members have the word “Si” between the first and last names, which means “of”.  For example, Bocata Si Nik Nik means “Bocata, of the family Nik Nik”.  Below are some examples of family and first names.Male Names: Bocata, Khallkern, VakiritFemale Names: Sahtlene, Hharkele, JakatiFamily Names: Nik Nik, Sok Dok, Tir TerAdventurers:  Larcetan love adventure and love bringing good to the masses of the world as much as any goodly race can.  Being craftsmen at heart, they love to adorn themselves in self-made regalia and strike fear into the hearts of their foes before landing a blow or casting a spell.    Larcetan are not particularly interested in treasures, unless it is a finely made article of armor, weapon, or some other item that was well crafted.   Larcetan Racial Traits·    +2 STR, +4 CON, -2 DEX: Larcetan are powerfully built, and very hardy but not very lithe.·    Large-size: As large-size creatures, Larcetan suffer a -1 size penalty to Armor Class, a -1 size penalty on attack rolls, and a -4 size penalty to Hide checks, but can use larger weapons than humans use and their lifting and carrying limits are twice that of Medium-Size characters.
