| Halflings: Halflings are small, stout humanoids, standing between 3 to 4 feet tall. Cheerful and friendly, they tend to take an unassuming position in whatever society they live in, freely mingling all across the lands. When young, Halflings tend to be adventurous and curious, but as they grow older, most settle, have families and live quiet, peaceful lives. A rare few retain their desire for adventure, and go on to be great heroes. To make Halfling characters use the standard template in the PHB Gnomes: Standing between 3 to 3 1/2 feet tall, Gnomes look very similar to halflings to most Humans, though they are often thinner and have more prominent noses.

It is a name given to those with human and humanoid blood lines, such as half gnome, half elf, even half halfling. They don't even need to be fully half blooded; you can just have a strong blood line. Though not shunned or pushed out of society, they do often feel a little out of place. One thing of note: with the elven lands closed no Half-elfs come from there. To make Half-elf characters use the standard template in the PHB Half-trogs: Vary rare, Half -trogs are said to combine the best of Trog and the worst of human.

They still carry with them the stigma of their Trog ancestry and often wander, trying to find purpose in life.

Looks, style and culture vary greatly from location to location, but overall there is three major countries. The Basteen Empire, very much like the Roman Empire, encourages decadence, slaves and culture. The Kingdom of Ordrin is a feudal system, strong with knights, royalty and small petty wars with itself. Jav is where most of the PCs will be from. Jav is primarily controlled by its merchant class. Large cities are gathering places of goods from across the world, while the countryside is vastly agricultural and undeveloped.

Tho not naturally aggressive the do have a warrior based culture. Often having many small ritualistic wars between different clans on different island. Other races are often seen as invaders from other islands and attacked. This has lead to a rather skewed view of the Kreet as savages. This is not helped by there religious views.

After he forged the bodies he required, Oskar called upon the souls of warriors who had venerated him before, or those whom the dark one had spurned in life and who thus sought revenge against him. These spirits manned the god's bodies and strode forth to war once more. As a reward for there services to Oskar, he rewarded them by returning there spirits back the the world they had saved. But before they could clam there reward Hectate found and defiled there bodies thus trapping them in the lifeless form they have now. The many many years since the god wars have not been kind to the Soulforged. Today it is a rare site to see one let alone one that is active, for many are found inactive, dug up by farmers working there fields, hidden in long forgotten tombs or maybe just as someone unusual art collection. For many do not know the full story of the Soulforged or even less so how to fix them. Soulforged are a restricted PC race. Racial traits: * +2con, -2wis, -2cha *medium size *base speed 30 *a soulforged cannot heal damage naturally. *Immunity to poison, sleep effects, paralysism disease, nausea, effects that are caused by a sickened condition. *Unlike other constructs, soulforged are subject to critical hits, nonlethal damage, stunning, ability damage, ability drain, and death effects or necromancy effects. *As living constructs, soulforged can be affects by spells that target living creatures as well as by those that target constructs. Damage dealt to a soulforged can be healed by a cure light woulds spell or a repair light damage spell, for example, and a soulforged is venerable to a disable construct spell and harm. However, spells from the healing, sunschool and supernatural abilities that cure hit point damage provide only half their normal effect to a soulforged. *The unusual physical constructions of soulforged makes them venerable to certain spell and effects that normally don't affect living creatures. A soulforged is affected by repel metal and chill metal as if he were wearing metal armor. Likewise, a soulforged is affected by a repel metal or stone as if he were wearing metal armor. A soulforged is repelled by repel wood. The iron in the body of a soulforges makes him venerable to rusting grasp. The creatures takes 2d6 points of damage from the spell (Reflex half; save DC 14+ caster's ability modifier). A soulforged takes the same damage from a rust monster's touch. (Reflex 17 DC half). Spells such as a soulforged cannot heal damage naturally.stone to flesh, stone shape, warp wood, and wood shape affect objects only, and thus cannot be used on the stone and wood parts of a soulforged. *A soulforged responds slightly differently from other living creatures when reduced to 0 hit points. A soulforged with 0 hit points is disable, just like a living creature. He can only take a single move action or standard action in each round, but strenuous activity does not risk further injury. When his hit points are less than 0 and are greater than -10, a soulforged is inert. he is unconscious and helpless, and he cannot perform any actions. However, an inert soulforged does not lose additional hit points unless more damage is dealt to him, as with a living creature that is stable. If a soulforged ever reaches -150 HP it is considered killed. *Soul Stone: all soulforged have there soul anchored to a Soul Stone deep within their body. if a soulforged is inert, unconscious or some how other wised incapacitated a Coup de Grace with a magical weapon can shatter the stone and Kill the soulforged *As a living construct, a soulforged can not be raised of resurrected. *A soulforged does not need to eat, sleep, or breathe, but he can still benefit from the effects of consumable spells and magic items such as heroes' feast and potions. *Light Fortification (EX): When a critical hit or sneak attack is scored on a soulforged, there is a 25% chance that the critical hit or sneak attack is negated and the damage is instead rolled normally. *A soulforged has a natural weapon in the form on a slam attack that deals 1d4 points of damage. *Composite Plating: The plating used to build a soulforges provides a +2 armor bonus, This plating is not natural armor and doesn't to stack with the other effects that give an armor bonus ( other than natural armor). They also suffer a natural -4 Armor Check Penalty. *favored class: Fighter *Restricted Classes: May not play any arcane spell casters. |
