Custom Pathfinder Races: Feel Free to Post Your Own

[BulletSponge95]

I'll be posting my homemade races here, some I'll be pulling from video games, but some will be original. Work on the race in a word document and post it here only if it's complete, or mostly complete. You're not required to have absolutely all of the details immediately, but they make for a complete race.

Make sure the race is balanced, as well.

Have a nice day.

Axolotls:(From Mardek RPG Chapter 3)



Axolotls are a tribal race of amphibious salamander people. They live in freshwater lakes and forests as well as caves that are beside lakes or are otherwise flooded. They tend to worship aquatic serpents as gods, feeding them and presenting them with treasure. Occasionally the desire to explore grabs hold of an axolotl. These creatures are tattooed and armed, wished well, and sent out into the world. Axolotl tribes rarely take in outsiders, but lone axolotls recognize that they can't be picky about company. Their skin color ranges from translucent white, to pale blue or green. Axolotl eyes are generally black, and the gills are a fleshy pink when healthy, changing redder or paler depending on sickness. They may regenerate limbs over time, and may regenerate even lost halves of the body, if the existing parts are in good enough condition. This can sometimes result in axolotl 'cloning', an event that usually results in one of the clones leaving the tribe, to prevent complications. The clone may take the same name or a new one.

Average Height and Weight:

Axolotls generally stand anywhere between 3' and 3'6" tall. They tend to weigh around 60 to 90 pounds.

They can live indefinitely, and thus tend not to breed unless the population runs low. The average lifespan, though, is around 200. They can live much longer, but are sometimes food for large fish, and meet an early demise.

Axolotls are nimble and hard to kill, though they lack in other respects. +4 Con, +1 Dex, -2 Int, -1 Str

Type:
Amphibious Aquatic Monstrous Humanoids

Axolotls are small and thus gain a +1 size bonus to their AC, a +1 size bonus on attack rolls, a –1 penalty on combat maneuver checks and to their CMD, and a +4 size bonus on Stealth checks.

Movement:

Axolotls are slow on land, with a movement speed of 20. Axolotls have a movement speed of 60 in water, and can swim in any armor they are proficient in.

Languages:

Axolotls typically speak draconic in a sea serpent dialect, due to the fact that many worship sea serpents. Those tribes that do not are descended from tribes that do, resulting in a further deviation of the serpent dialect of the draconic language. Those that travel tend to pick up common and undercommon, or whatever is spoken where they spend enough time to be able to learn a new language.

Racial Traits and Feats:

Axolotls are proficient in light armors and bladed or pointed martial weapons as well as all simple weapons The adventurers may occasionally wield bows, but tribesmen tend not to, as they don't work well underwater.

The axolotl is also able to regrow and reattach lost limbs, even the limbs of other axolotls. A lost arm or leg takes 1 month to re-grow, a portion of the skull or brain, if treated, can regrow in 2 weeks. If the axolotl is bisected, if extremely carefully treated, both sides take 24 hours to regain essential body functions, and regrow the other side in 2 months, resulting in two axolotls, one being an npc.

Skri’ek: (Batfolk)[/u]


Batfolk are descended from an ancient strain of bat that became trapped deep within the darkest caverns of the earth. Over time, they lost their sight, unnecessary as it was, and gained both a highly acute hearing and excellent sense of smell. They survived on the deep fungus and eventually developed sentience, and culture. They learned to cultivate the fungus and to forge tools and weapons to keep the other creatures of the deep caverns at bay. Batfolk were discovered when dwarven miners broke a cave wall and opened the caverns up. The batfolk were at first enslaved and seen as a primitive people. Over time, as dwarves encountered the other beasts of the deep cavern, the batfolk became more and more useful, as they knew how to combat the deep monsters. They were freed from their bonds after a particularly glorious show of loyalty when protecting the king, and then became intertwined with the dwarves of this city.

Batfolk are gray skinned and brown or black furred. They are medium sized humanoids, slightly taller than dwarves, but they stand with a slightly hunched back, making them seem the same height. Their eyes are white and pupil-less, though occasionally, a batfolk is born with vision. The ears are humongous. They still possess wings, though they have devolved in favor of hands that can grasp tools. Webbing between the legs and tail is almost nonexistent.

Batfolk that are born with sight or somehow obtain it later often have a desire to see the whole world. They are driven to see, to explore, and to collect shiny objects. A sight-blessed batfolk's home is often littered with pretty, sparkly objects, most of which have little to no value, as traders know full well how to take advantage of their obsession. Their clothing is generally gawdy and brightly colored or dull and drab, to contrast the shiny trinkets they wear around their necks, hands, and ears.

Those who engage in combat with a bafolk woe at the sonic blasts they're capable of emitting, though a batfolk rogue, silently dropping upon enemies can be just as devestating.

Average Height and Weight:[/i]

Batfolk can be anywhere from 3'9" to 4'5" and weigh around 70 pounds.

Batfolk reach maturity at age 14 and can live to around age 60.

Magical Racial Traits:[/i]

Sonic Screech(Ex): Components: V : Skri'ek may, up to once per day per four hit die (minimum once per day), emit a cone of sound 20 feet long and 10 feet wide at the end, as if casting Shout. Enemies caught in the wave are deafened for 1d6 rounds and take 1d6 sonic damage per 3 of the caster's hit die, while crystalline creatures and objects take 1d6 points of damage for each of the caster's hit die, up to 15. A fortitude save of 10+Cha halves the damage taken, and a reflex save of 10+Cha negates damage done to any held crystalline objects.

The screech is empowered if the skri'ek screeches through a horn, though this provokes an attack of opportunity. This instead deals 2d4 per 3 caster hit die or 2d4 per caster hit die against crystalline creatures or objects.

Senses Racial Traits:

Blind batfolk have a blindsight up to 60 feet, but see using sound waves that other races can't hear. They must continue emitting sounds or else be blinded and lose blindsight until they resume.

Sight-blessed batfolk have darkvision up to 60 feet and low light vision up to 90 feet.
If a sight-blessed skri'ek is blinded, he may emit sonic waves to gain blindsight up to 40 feet.
