They are plain-spoken and honest, and trusted as mediators in almost any scenario for their foresight. Long periods of  meditation, however, have sapped their bodily strength. Their culture is an oral one, and they maintain their heritage without the written word, or books of any kind, mistrusting the written word. All Stoic characters begin as Illiterate, no matter which player-class they choose.     Medium sized: They are usually tall and gaunt, with long limbs and smooth, pale skin. Both genders are hairless, and given their proclivity to wear monastic robes, hard to tell apart.     Speed: 30 ft.     Stoic characters gain a +2 on Diplomacy and Sense Motive checks. Their insight of the inner workings of a being help them understand motives and relationships.     Stoic characters receive a +2 morale bonus to saving throws vs. Fear. Their ponderous nature and calm visage keep the Stoics free from panic.     Weapon Restriction: Stoics eschew the use of any bladed weapon, favoring only blunt, handheld weapons. The race will normally try to subdue opponents first, feeling that killing is counter-productive to enlightenment. At any honest threat to their life or their region will awaken a long martial tradition, however.    Alignment: Almost always lawful, and just as rarely evil. But beware the Neutral Evil Stoic.     Languages, Automatic: Common    Bonus: Any regional.    Favored Class: Monk    Naming: Short, thick sounding names, with few vowels, replacing Y for most. No noticable difference between genders. Examples:  Xyth, Pyrn, Thrys, Alyll    Level adjustment: +0Just looking for some input, before I take it to the DM as a possibility. Asked in a DnD Rules thread about a +2 WIS race with no LA... and it turned into quite a goose chase. So... make your own, right? Thanks for checking it out.</blockquote>
