[QUOTE="bloodymage, post: 269337, member: 4381"] [b]New Races[/b] IMW, I only allow traditional D&D PC races, except half-orcs, who are killed at birth. I do have two variant NPC races: [b]Briny Elves[/b] Also known as Nautical Elves or amongst themselves, Sea Elves, these are the sailors of Elfdom. They are as reclusive as Grey Elves, or more so. The only contact with them is sometimes when one of their "wave cutters" appears off a foreign port to trade. They tend to be slightly shorter, but stockier than High Elves with a ruddy complexion. They tend toward silver or golden hair with a greenish or bluish tint to it. Their eyes are bright and piercing, blue to green. Typical ablity scores: Str 13, Dex 12, Con 11, Int 9, Wis 10, Cha 11 Briny Elf Traits: Proficient with scimitar, rapier, dagger, ranseur, trident and all crossbows More closely related to Aquatic Elves than other subraces, Briny Elves have an air sac rather than gills which allows them to store up to 4 hours of air (1d4) Can speak with sea mammals (whales, dolphins, etc.) Can cast [i]Obscuring Mist[/i] at will as a supernatural ability which moves with the caster (or his ship) and cannot be blown away by anything less than a typhoon, though fire-based attacks are effective. Preferred class: Fighter (sailor) or Sorcerer. [b]Dracolings[/b] This subrace of halflings is reputed to be the result of an odd intermingling of halfling, elven and dragon ancestry. Physically, they most resemble Tallfellows. Their hair is universally golden, straight and long. Their eyes are the color and brilliance of gems. Their beauty is almost appalling (saving throw applies). The most significant physical difference between Dracolings and Tallfellows is that a Dracoling's skin is almost translucent. They have a symbiotic relationship with most of the breeds of gemstone dragons providing them with companionship and comfort. They aid in defense and provide anoniminity for the dragons. Most importantly, one Dracoling mate is required to produce a gemstone hatchling. Typical ablity scores: Str 9, Dex 12, Con 13, Int 11, Wis 14, Cha 21 Dracoling traits: They have no weapon proficiencies As Lightfoots and Tallfellows plus an additional +4 natural bonus to AC (the translucent skin is not fragile!) Lifespan 1/2 dragon Immune to fear, sleep, paralysis SR 17 Blindsight 15 ft. Keen Senses 1/2 dragon ability Gaze attack 1x/day [i]Flesh to Stone[/i]. Preferred class: Wizard. [/QUOTE]
