But pride caused the Cataclysm to strike against them, and now they are Twilight Irda. In appearance, the Mischta are almost identical to Irda--they are tall, slender creatures, averaging six feet in height and weighing 150 pounds. Females tend to be as tall and as heavy as the males.

Their hair is usually black, but it can be silver or white. The Mischta are known for their fluid, graceful movements and for their song-like voices. Combat: Mischta hate fighting; when they do engage in combat, they suffer a -1 penalty to their attack rolls. The Mischta have developed two special weapons: bolas and cluster bombs. Bolas are thrown up to a 25-yard range. They inflict 1d4 points of damage, and the victim must free himself (must roll a successful Dexterity check with a -2 penalty) before he can take any other action. Cluster bombs are hollowed-out eggs that contain combinations of natural herbs and poisons. These bombs, when dropped, affect all targets in a ten-foot radius and force them to roll successful saving throws vs. poison or fall victim to one of the following effects: sleep, paralysis, or blindness (depending on the type of bomb).

A Mischta with an 18 Intelligence can learn to become a Changer Adept once he reaches the age of 100. Learning to be a Changer Adept takes 20 years, but once the training is mastered, a Changer Adept can shapechange, as per the 9thlevel wizard spell, up to three times per day. Ecology: The Mischta try to live in perfect harmony with nature. They never intentionally harm a living creature except in selfdefense. They are strict vegetarians.
