[QUOTE="Ferret, post: 1964504, member: 4052"] I'm simply looking on general advice on making this balanced to play in place of the core races, as they have been dropped for the campaign. Also I'd like some thoughts on the flavour as well. Aitan Personality Brash and often overly confident, Aitan can sometimes find themselves as the centre of attention, whether they like it or not. This trait regularly leads young Aitan to more trouble then their rigid society seems to allow. But their overconfidence does help fuel a deep competitive spirit and Aitan are renowned for their athleticism. Often they can take these competitions to far but they are held in place by traditions and taboos that have lasted as long as the races surprising tact for spiritual thinking. They also hold stock in honour, and order, they often train in martial combat but that life is only for a few. A significant proportion of Aitan are noted for being pious, although it isn’t a racial trend, what can be said is as a whole they tend to err on the side of superstition, which hold true, and link into many of the traditions and taboos. Physical description Most Aitan stand at most 6’6” and at most weigh 270lb, they are athletically built. Most have stocky frames and calloused hands, which suits the loose clothing that they often wear, due to the physical work they often labour with, and the chafing climate most of them endure. The clothing itself is generally in plain colours, however on special occasion they often wear clothes with rich colours. Aitan most normally have dark hair, and it is either kept shaven due to the heat or wrapped into tight curls, plaits and dread locks. The native skin spreads across all the lighter shades of olive, with rare offspring showing a yellow tint that can often be mistaken for jaundice. Relations Diet Aitan communities mainly survive on the arable farming, and a few livestock that can survive in the climate. The vegetables are usually plants like corn, wheat or yaka. Alignment Aitan are naturally ordered and thus biased slightly towards Lawful. Homeland Aitan are adaptive to any climate and nearly any terrain, although the main provinces lie within savannahs, plains and temperate zones in general. Language Aitan speak their own language; Aita. Aita is a language with many soft sounds with the words containing slightly more vowels than consonants, the alphabet has 29 letters. Names Aitan names sometimes have relation to the family often having children named after ancestors of their achievements. Typical names include Male: Jeur, Aryeh, Telouc, Ialua and Raoär Female: Noehu, Alos, Teirvu, Weln, Ialua and Kerui Racial traits: Aitan are medium creatures +2 Con -2 Cha Movement rate of 30ft +2 on any two craft skills picked at 1st level. +2 on Jump, Swim, and Climb checks +2 to fortitude saves against fatigue on, Constitution checks made to avoid nonlethal damage from starvation or thirst, to continue running, and to avoid nonlethal damage from a forced march. +2 on will saves, Aitan can be incredibly stubborn. +2 to hit whilst fighting unarmed, this only applies in their natural form. The favoured class for Aitan is Fighter. [/QUOTE]
