Klaus said:Kathos Racial Traits:
- +2 Dexterity, +2 Wisdom, -2 Constitution, -2 Intelligence: Kathos are agile and balanced, but their lighter frames make them less sturdy than humans. They have very keen senses, but trust instinct more than reason.
- Medium: As Medium creatures, kathos have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
- Kathos base land speed is 30 feet.
- Low-light Vision: A Kathos can see twice as far as a human in poor lighting conditions.
- Natural Weapons: An unarmed kathos can attack with 2 claws, each dealing 1d3 damage. Although they have sharp teeth, a kathos’ bite is too narrow to do much damage. A kathos monk can choose to do bludgeoning or slashing damage with his unarmed attacks, but when doing slashing damage it can't be nonlethal damage.
- +2 racial bonus to Balance, Move Silently and Listen checks. Kathos are predators at heart.
- +2 racial bonus to Handle Animal, Ride and wild empathy checks when dealing with felines. Kathos can empathize with felines better than most humanoid races.
- Bonus feat: Blind-Fight. Their keen hearing and sensitive whiskers help kathos fight unseen foes.
- Sonic Vulnerability: Kathos suffer a –2 penalty to saves against sonic and sound-based attacks.
- Light Vulnerability: Kathos suffer a -2 penalty to saves against light effects that may cause dazzling or blinsing effects (such as the "flare" spell).
- Automatic Languages: Common, Kathian. Bonus Languages: Elven, Gnoll, Giant, Orc, Sylvan. Kathos are familiar with the languages of their neighboors.
Favored Class: Monk. A multiclass kathos’ monk class does not count when determining wether he takes an experience penalty for multiclassing. The monk tradition is a way for kathos to connect to their inner grace and strength, if they can overcome their chaotic nature.
Estlor said:1. Always make sure the adjustments are even numbered (+2, +4, +6, etc). Odd number adjustments can easily be maximized or minimized in impact by a clever player. An even number forces them to go down (or up) one level of bonus or penalty to their die role.
2. "Mental" ability scores are worth half a "Physical" ability score. I.E. a +2 in Strength can be countered by a -2 in Constitution or Dexterity or a -2 in two of Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma or a -4 in one of them. However, continuing the example, a +2 in Wisdom cannot be countered by a -1 in a physical ability score. WotC's rationale is that physical ability scores come into play more often statistically than mental ability scores and, therefore, have a greater impact on the character when adjusted.
So, in the example of the Dragonstar cat race, they have a -4 on both Int and Cha because they have a +2 on two physical ability scores. Likewise, the Half-Orc has a -2 on two mental ability scores to offset its +2 in Strength.
