High gargoyles originate from the world's moon, Jarad, which has its own history but is also tied to Rielun’s history.After the time period known as the Third War, the moon of Jarad saw a huge shift in its culture towards that of a Renaissance-style world dominated by steamcraft and high magic. As more and more of the moon’s planetary surface became dominated by steam technology, races such as the high gargoyles found it increasingly hard to fit into Jarad’s culture.The high gargoyles, or the Selrahmus, in the language of the elves of Jarad, began crossing the ether void to Rielun, where steam technology would never truly dominate, due to the protection of Jaua Ae-rielun. They had soon migrated across the entire world and the Ethma’rieluna soon recognized them as an enlightened race.The Selrahmus’ hide varies a great deal in pigmentation, but it does tend to be darker in color. Midnight black, earth brown, and dark blue are the most common. High gargoyles have clear, piercing eyes that range in color from burnt red, to brilliant yellow, to sky blue.CombatA high gargoyle’s natural weapons are treated as magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.Freeze (Ex): A high gargoyle can hold itself so still it appears to be a statue. An observer must succeed on a DC 15 Spot check to notice the high gargoyle is really alive.Skills: High gargoyles have a +2 racial bonus on Hide, Listen, and Spot checks. *The Hide bonus increases by +8 when a gargoyle is concealed against a background of stone.High Gargoyle SocietyThe Selrahmus organize themselves into clans, for the most part, but smaller groups are possible as well. High gargoyles are extremely loyal to their fellow clan members, as well as any friends they make amongst the other races of the Ethma’rieluna.High gargoyles tend to be nomadic and prefer a more rural way of life. They often dedicate themselves to protecting tracts of wilderness in high hills and mountain ranges. Rarely will they settle down in a medieval-style city and a high gargoyle living in one of the Steam Metropolises is almost unheard of.The Selrahmus tend towards neutrality and good but many of those living in the most remote parts of the Wildlands, on the continent of Malecade, tend to be more chaotic.High Gargoyles as CharactersHigh gargoyle characters possess the following racial traits.● +2 to Strength, +2 to Dexterity, +4 to Constitution, -2 to Charisma. High gargoyles are strong, fast, and durable. However, they often grate against the opinions of others.● Medium-size.● A high gargoyle’s base land speed is 40 feet. It also has a fly speed of 60 feet (average).● Darkvision out to 90 feet.● Racial Hit Dice: A high gargoyle begins with six levels of monstrous humanoid, which provide 6d8 Hit Dice, a base attack bonus of +6, and base saving throw bonuses of Fort +2, Ref +5, and Will +5.● Racial Skills: A high gargoyle’s monstrous humanoid levels give it skill points equal to 9 x (2 + Int modifier).
