The stll have many of the same traditions, including a belief in the world of spirits and a warrior code of honour. They have mixed this with an order of knighthood called the Honourbound (members usually fighters, samurai, paladins, or knights) who are split into several companies, as well as several heralds guilds who function as town-criers, messengers, couriers and (on occasion) spies.Aranea (new version) As CharactersAranea characters possess the following racial traits. +2 Dexterity, +2 Intelligence, -2 Strength, -2 Constitution.Medium size.A aranea’s base land speed is 30 feet and its base climb speed (in spider form) is 20 feet.Racial Hit Dice: An aranea begins with two levels of aberration, which provide 2d8 Hit Dice, a base attack bonus of +1, and base saving throw bonuses of Fort +0, Ref +0, and Will +3.Racial Skills: An aranea’s aberration levels give it skill points equal to 5 × (2 + Int modifier, minimum 1).

In human form, the aranea loses its bite attack and natural armour.Automatic Languages: Common, Herathian. Bonus Languages: Any.Level adjustment +1.Araneas are taught from birth that they are two people; the aranea and the human. If the outside world were to discover their secret it would mean certain death for them as monsters. The human side of an aranea is just as much the 'true' self of the aranea as its spider form.(this is something I adapted quickly just now to capture the flavour of the aranea, in particular their presentation in OD&D) Imarran (aka revised Tiefling)+2 DEX, +2 CHR, -2 WISMedium Size, Base Speed of 30 60' Low light vision +2 racial bonus to Bluff and IntimidateSpell-like Ability (Cantrip): Player chooses 3 of the following, usable once per day (multiple selections of same item provide multiple daily uses).

They are near-human and rather than being a mixture of demonic appearances, they are all (by human standards) rather elfin looking; a tall, slim, elegant race, with long, delicate fingers and almond shaped eyes. They are quick, and possessed of great self-confidence, but lacking in self-control due to their society's long dependance on soporific drugs, and dalliances with demonic entities of Chaos.(adapted from work by Rick Coen and Ken Lipka, and flavour based on Moorcock's presentation of Vadhagh, Melniboneans and other similar races)Classes: PHBBarbarianBardFighterRangerWizardSorcererClericRogueMonkPHB 2KnightDuskbladeBeguilerComplete AdventurerSpellthiefScoutNinjaComplete WarriorHexbladeSwashbucklerOthersWarlockMarshalBinderShadowcasterOriental AdventuresSamuraiSoheiShamanWu JenWitch's Handbook (Green Ronin)WitchPsychic's Handbook (Green Ronin)Psychic</blockquote>
