BAKALI (Dragonlance)


   
"Nothing beats a good mud bath."

BAKALI CHARACTERS
 If you wanted a fighter that can also fight in watery environments the Bakali is ok.  There are perhaps better races given their abysmal speed.
 Adventuring Race: The Bakali are fairly reclusive, and usually if one is seen outside the swamp he is on a religious quest for one of their deities.  Or possibly because there has been an emergency and he needs to find whatever mage or artifact will help save his people.
 Character Development: The Bakali are pretty slow.  Try to find a way to neutralize this or work around it.
 Character Names: Drazhchok, G'aromel, Kigock, Thel'ock, Mithzok, Baccaneesh, and Xele'ku.  Surname: Dray'nec, Gre-tal, and Kralleek.

ROLEPLAYING A BAKALI
 The Bakali are relics in a world that has outgrown them and left their species behind.  They survive by remaining isolated, and having one in the party likely makes trouble due to the reputation of the Jarak-Sinn, whom they resemble.  Not that there isn't a good deal of enmity towards the Bakali as well.
 Personality: You are a cold, brutal, semi-emotionless predator.  You don't form personal attachments, are prone to using violence to solve problems, and very distrustful of anyone you don't know personally.
 Behaviors: The Bakali spend much of their time hunting food, eating said food, and mud bathing.  They require surprisingly little to be content in some ways.
 Language: Bakali speak their own variant of the Lizardfolk tongue, and some few also speak common.

BAKALI SOCIETY
 Bakali society has little of the qualities of other civilizations, usually being nothing more than mud pits and squalid huts.  A king makes all the decisions as there is little in the way of formal laws, and shamans conduct sacrifices to their God while trying to divine what their Gods want of them.  They have no social taboos against violence, and tolerance of others views varies heavily from one Bakali to another.  Leaving them alone is wise.
 Alignment : The Bakali are usually Neutral, with some having strong tendencies towards Evil. 
 Lands : A few communities remain in Ansalon and Taladas, but the Bakali are on their way out.  They've actually come close to extinction several times but have always bounced back.
 Settlements : The Bakali never leave their communities, hiding from the world at large.
 Beliefs : Most Bakali worship Chislev or Sirrion.
 Relations: The Bakali do not view the Jarak-Sinn kindly for their betrayal, nor are they particularly fond of humans or other outsiders.  They do however have a strong sense of honor, and treat others as others treat them. 

BAKALI ADVENTURES
·   A new predator has somehow been introduced into the swamps, and it has a taste for the eggs of your people.  Now if you could only catch sight of it.
·   The Jarak-Sinn have appeared.  You've no idea if they're a raiding party sent to scout you, or just lost somehow, but you need to catch and murder them before they can report back and tell of your existence.
·   Priests of foreign Gods have come in an effort to get you to turn away from the two you serve now.  They are powerful, and well-protected by scores of men-at-arms.  Telling them no may require a fight.  But something about them disturbs you.  If there Gods intend well, why spread their word by force?

BAKALI WARRIORS IN THE WORLD
"Oh crap, here comes the brute squad!
 When you aren't defending the town, you're squabbling with every other able-bodied fighter to establish the pecking order..
 Daily Life: You spend a lot of time getting in people's face, so they know who's in charge.
 Notables: Mithzock (NE Male Bakali Fighter 6/Bakali Warrior 3) is the local swaggerer.
 Organizations: People like to hire Bakali as muscle, but not much else.

NPC Reaction
 Most other Humanoids see you as a monster.  The fact that you randomly punch them while challenging them to a fight doesn't help.

BAKALI WARRIORS IN THE GAME
 This assumes the PC will be playing a species that has a poor reputation, which may cause interesting times for the party.  So be sure to have those +1 clubs of bigot whoopin' ready.
 Adaptation: This is meant for a Dragonlance campaign, but it could be adapted to any race that shoots blood from it's eyes (assuming there's more than this one).
 Encounters: If there's fighting anywhere near their homes, be assured the Bakali will be there.

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The PC's are leaving the local bar, when they bump into a Lizardfolk squad who immediately challenge them to a fight.  For the dozenth time this week.  The group considers it may be time to swear off drinking.

BABBLER


   
"kgnowamvwrveeimoefoin!"

 Babblers appear vaguely like 8' tall specimens of Gorgosaurus.  They are a mottled, dirty yellow with grey patches and underbelly, and normally move in an unlikely slither crawling on their belly through marshes.  Sages believe they are a mutation of the Lizardfolk race, but that is obviously not quite true once one studies them.  Their particular eccentricities suggest magical experimentation or perhaps even exposure to the Far Realm.

BABBLER RACIAL TRAITS
·   +12 Str, +8 Con, +2 Wis, -4 Cha
·   Size Class: Large (Tall). -1 Size Penalty to Armor Class and Attack Rolls. -4 Size Penalty to Hide Checks.  +4 Size Bonus to Bull Rush, Grapple, Overrun, and Trip Checks.  Lifting and Carrying Limits are Double those of a Medium character.  Space is 10 ft., Reach is 10 ft..
·   Type: Monstrous Humanoid, giving them 60 ft. Darkvision
·   Base land speed 30 ft.
·   +5 Natural AC Bonus
·   Sneak Attack (Ex): Babblers have +2d6 Sneak Attack.   This is identical to the Rogue ability listed in the PHB, and stacks with Sneak Attack dice gained via Class or Feats.
·   Partial Biped: To make a Full Attack the Babbler must stand erect, which halves it's movement speed.
·   Limited Speech: Babblers may only speak their own language though they can understand those of others well enough (though they do not let others know this).  Conversely no other species can speak or understand their language, not even by magic means.
·   A Babbler has 5 Racial Hit Dice, giving it the following: 5d8 Hit Points, +5 Base Attack Bonus, +1 Fort Save, +4 Ref Save, +4 Will Save, and (2 + Int modifier) skill points per level (with times 4 skill points for the first level).  Class skills are Hide, Listen, Move Silently, Spot, and Swim. It also gets 2 Feats.
·   Babblers have a Primary Claw attack doing 1d6 plus Strength Bonus, and a Secondary Bite attack doing 1d8 plus half Strength Bonus.  They get 2 Claws and a Bite with a Full Attack.
.   Non Humanoid Form: The Babblers aren't humanoid and have no hands.  They may not make Craft, Disable Device, Disguise, Forgery, Heal, Open Lock, Sleight of Hand, or Use Rope checks. They are also limited in the type of Perform skills they can get. They cannot wield weapons.  If someone is willing to help them in and out of it they can wear armor. Armor is quadruple the cost and double the weight for them.
·   Babblers have a +4 Racial Bonus to Hide and Move Silently Checks.
·   Automatic Languages: Babbler.  Bonus Languages: Any nearby race, usually Lizardfolk. 
·   Level Adjustment: +3
·   Favored Class: Rogue

 Old: 75
 Venerable: 100
 Maximum Age: +5d20 years

HEIGHT AND WEIGHT
 Base Height: 7'6"
 Height Modifier: +2d6"
 Base Weight: 600 lbs.
 Weight Modifier: x (4d6) lbs.

BABBLER CHARACTERS
 Babblers are meant to be sneaky physical brutes.  Despite their size, they appear surprisingly adept at stealth.
 Adventuring Race: Babblers go on adventures for the Gods know what reasons.  They rarely leave their swamp, have no use for money, and seem content with what they have other than some of them being addicted to human flesh.  It's assumed revenge, addiction, or other un-guessable reasons would prompt one to go adventuring.
 Character Development: Make sure you're fairly self-reliant or have a few tricks in the hole.  Your lack of communication gives you some pretty big problems.  Your requiring assistance to don/remove equipment and no being able to use weapons is such an issue you may want to take the hit for being a caster to alleviate that.  Or take the Leadership Feat.
 Character Names: It's unknown if Babblers have names, but if they do they're quite unpronounceable by Humanoids.

ROLEPLAYING A BABBLER
 Honestly this race probably shouldn't be played unless it's an all Babbler (or at least all Evil) campaign.  Babblers are almost incapable of communication with other species, so it's not like you'll have well thought out discussions on small unit tactics...
 Personality: Given the inability to actually communicate with one (and their lack of facial expression), it's difficult to gauge whether or not the Babblers have any emotions or what they're thinking.  Lizardfolk sages who have spent time studying them claim they are heavily influenced by Chaos, and while their actions appear random they apparently make sense to the Babbler.
 Behaviors: Babblers enjoy sneaking about the swamp on their bellies and babbling nonsense.  There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to this, and most people believe they're just practicing for actual hunts.  Or they're crazy.  Most are betting on the second.
 Language: Babblers communicate in a quasi-linguistic nonsense language which no other being has successfully been able to translate, not even via spells.  They have never been observed speaking another language, and it is unknown if they even understand them (they can, they just pretend not to).

BABBLER SOCIETY
 The Babblers are fairly solitary, and don't really seem to have a society.  They produce nothing despite being obviously intelligent enough to do so, they have no art or forms of entertainment, and seem to be little more than intelligent ambush predators who associate with the Lizardfolk in raids.  Some people claim they lead the Lizardfolk, but given the communication difficulties it's more likely they just accompany them.  And even then only the most Evil of Lizardfolk.
 Alignment : Babblers are almost universally Chaotic Evil.
 Lands : Babblers occupy the same temperate marshes as the Lizardfolk.
 Settlements : Babblers seem to have no interest in spreading past their marshy homes.
 Beliefs : The Babblers have never been observed participating in religious ritual, but given their association with Lizardmen it is assumed they worship or at least pay lip service to their Gods.  Far Realms entities are also a possibility.
 Relations: Babblers only seem to relate well to Lizardfolk for unknown reasons.  Many are fairly addicted to the taste of human flesh however, and will go to great lengths to obtain it.

BABBLER ADVENTURES
·   Humans are near the swamp.  Time to play pantomime with the Lizardfolk until they figure out what you're trying to say so you can feast.
·   A small reptilian being is yapping at you in a language you do not comprehend.  You think the Lizardfolk call them Kobolds.  You are considering squishing him.  But then, you remember they are related to Dragons...
·  The Lizardfolk tribe you considered your personal army have been wiped out by Orcs on some sort of racist Jihad.  Revenge is mandatory.


Babbler Racial Feats

Improved Babbling Rage
Your ululations can permanently screw up people's minds.
 Prerequisites: Babbler, Babbling Rage, Wis 15+, Indomitable Will
 Benefits: If you successfully use Babbling Rage on an opponent, the Confusion effect is permanent as per the Insanity spell.


Gelid
Your flesh is now semi-solid, like that of some octopi.
 Prerequisites: Babbler, Con 15+
 Benefits: You can always Take 10 on Escape Artist Checks, and the Critical Threat Range of your opponents attacks is reduced by 1 (to a minimum of 1, i.e. rolling a Natural 20).


Improved Babel Speech
It is unwise to engage you in conversation.
 Prerequisites: Babbler, Babel Speech, 13 Hit Dice, Wis 15+
 Benefits: If you successfully use Babel Speech on an opponent, the Confusion effect is permanent as per the Insanity spell.


Marsh Move
You are at home in the marshes.
 Prerequisites: Babbler, Swim 4 ranks
 Benefits: You ignore difficult terrain in swamps and marshes, and gain a Swim speed equal to half your base land speed.


Weirdly Stealthy
You can hide well for someone so big.
 Prerequisites: Babbler, Hide 4 ranks, Dex 13+
 Benefits: You don't take Size Penalties to Hide Checks.

Babbler Racial Substitution Levels

Barbarian
 Level 1: Lose Fast Movement for Babbling Rage
  Babbling Rage (Ex): A Babbler can use this ability once per Rage as a Swift Action.  It targets one opponent the Babbler is in melee with, who must make a Willpower Save (Save DC is 10 plus 1/2 HD plus Wis Modifier), or be Confused (as per the spell) for the duration of your Rage.

Scout
 Levels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19: Replace Skirmish with Ambush
  Ambush (Ex): In any round in which the Scout makes an attack against an opponent who is Flat-Footed or unaware of his presence he does +1d6 damage. He also gets this bonus to ranged attacks performed on any round in which he does not move. This extra damage increases by 1d6 for every four levels gained above 1st (2d6 at 5th, 3d6 at 9th, 4d6 at 13th, and 5d6 at 17th level).

The extra damage only applies against living creatures that have a discernible anatomy. Undead, constructs, oozes, plants, incorporeal creatures, and creatures immune to extra damage from critical hits are not vulnerable to this additional damage. The scout must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. Scouts can apply this extra damage to ranged attacks made while skirmishing, but only if the target is within 30 feet.

At 3rd level, the applicable range for your Ambush attack increases by +20'. This bonus improves by and additional 20' for every four levels gained above 3rd (+40' at 7th, +60' at 11th, +80' at 15th, and +120' at 19th level).

A scout loses this ability when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load. If she gains the skirmish ability from another class, the bonuses stack.
 
Rogue
 Level 10: You gain new options to choose from for the Rogue's Special Ability.
  Special Ability (Ex):

Semi-Boneless: You are now immune to Critical hits, and can Take 20 on Escape Artist checks.

Babel Speech (Su): Once per Encounter you may emit a horrendous babble as a Standard Action.  All beings within 30 feet must make a Willpower Save (Save DC is 10 plus 1/2 HD plus Wis Modifier) or be Confused for 1d6 Round.  Unlike normal this is considered neither a Compulsion Effect nor a Mind-Affecting Effect, and will still work on creatures immune to either of those.

Chaos Mind: If an opponent uses a spell, power or other effect that is a Mind-Affecting Effect on you, they are Dazed one Round whether you successfully make your Saving Throw or not.


PREDATOR


   
"(stuff and nonsense)"

PLAYING A PREDATOR

 Combat: You rely on stealth to kill prey, and your raging insanity to deal with surprises.
 Advancement: Babblers are fairly straight forward for a chaotic species.  They develop the skills most likely to keep their bellies full.
 Resources: You have whatever resources you can blindly stumble upon in the dark and make off with.

 Organizations: Some information about organizations dedicated to the practice of your class and other organizations which members of your class will be attracted towards.

NPC Reaction
 NPC's generally run screaming in terror when they see you.  Or hear you.  Or sometimes even when they just think of you.

 This assumes the PC is a completely uncommunicative species.  That may cause issues.
 Adaptation: This is a PrC for some pretty weird, messed up campaigns.  Serious or silly won't matter, but it will likely be messed up one way or the other.
 Encounters: If you're playing this right, PC's shouldn't encounter you until your teeth are in their backside.

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The PC's are resting for a few nights at an inn outside the local  swamp, when the Barbarian wakes up with a giant lizard thing nibbling on his toes.

 Height Modifier: +2d4"
 Base Weight: 2 lbs.

CAYMAN CHARACTERS
 Cayman are meant to be sneaky critters, stabbing bigger opponents in the back, or when they're vulnerable.  Most are Scouts or Rogues for obvious reasons, and those few who aren't are Wisdom based casters.  The large dexterity bonus also works well for any melee class based off Weapon Finesse or archery.
 Adventuring Race: The Cayman dislike adventuring, preferring to live among their fellows than risk the outside world.  They will however do what is necessary to ensure the protection of their villages, and those who do adventure commonly do so to help or support their people.
 Character Development: The Int penalty hurts you on skills a little. but racial bonuses and size make you great at ambushes.  You should try to find some method of speeding yourself up to keep up with the rest of the party.
 Character Names: Cayman use Lizardfolk names as they share a language.

ROLEPLAYING A CAYMAN
 Your slow movement rate will cause you trouble if means are not found to overcome it.  Your races tendencies towards mild xenophobia have also left them with a sometimes iffy reputation, so you don't have much in the way of being a party face other than in limited circumstances. 
 Personality: Cayman avoid fights unless threatened or cornered.  Even then, they fight from ambush using traps and trickery to bring down bigger opponents.  This philosophy extends into the rest of their life, and while they are not actively malicious, rare is the Cayman who is truly honest with outsiders.
 Behaviors: Cayman spend much of their time providing for the tribe.  Their lifestyle doesn't leave much time for leisure.
 Language: The Cayman speak Lizardfolk.  Many also speak Common or Gnome.

CAYMAN SOCIETY
 The Cayman are barely out of the Stone Age, using stone or bone tools and weapons.  The swamps they live in to isolate themselves from the outside world aren't conducive to learning smithcraft.  Without that, they've made no real technological advances, and are basically little more than reinforced mud huts or burrows.
 Alignment : Most Cayman are strictly Neutral.  They aren't curious about other peoples business, and they prefer others not be curious about theirs.
 Lands : Most Cayman live in walled villages built underground in warm or temperate forests or swamps.
 Settlements : Cayman rarely spread, but when they do they stick to terrain they know well, and avoid open areas like plains.
 Beliefs : Those Cayman not led by Druids or Spirit Shamans are most likely worshipers of Ka the Preserver.
 Relations: The Cayman get along well with Gnomes, but most of the Evil underground races enslave them.  They tolerate the full sized Lizardfolk who live nearby.

CAYMAN ADVENTURES
·   Humans are near the swamp.  Time to make some money playing guide.  And maybe steal a bunch of stuff from the foolish ones.
·   Kobolds are in the area and screwing up your relationship with the local Gnomes.  Looks like there may be a fight, with the local humans setting on the sidelines eating popcorn.  Buncha racists all of 'em.
·  The Lizardfolk tribe that lives nearby seems to have fallen under the influence of a Babbler.  You need to find a way to be rid of it.

  Ambush (Ex): In any round in which the Scout makes an attack against an opponent who is Flat-Footed or unaware of his presence he does +1d6 damage.

This extra damage increases by 1d6 for every four levels gained above 1st (2d6 at 5th, 3d6 at 9th, 4d6 at 13th, and 5d6 at 17th level).

The extra damage only applies against living creatures that have a discernible anatomy. Undead, constructs, oozes, plants, incorporeal creatures, and creatures immune to extra damage from critical hits are not vulnerable to this additional damage. The scout must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. Scouts can apply this extra damage to ranged attacks made while skirmishing, but only if the target is within 30 feet.

A scout loses this ability when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load. If she gains the skirmish ability from another class, the bonuses stack.

CHAMELEON MAN (Mystara)


   
"You do not belong here..."

 Chameleon Men are 7' tall humanoids with black curly hair, and thin, gangly physiques.  They move in awkward, jerking gaits and their skins are striped with every color in the rainbow.  Sages believe they have very distant dragon ancestry in their blood.

CHAMELEON MAN RACIAL TRAITS
·   -2 Int, +2 Cha
·   Size Class: Medium.
·   Type: Humanoid with the Dragonblood Subtype
·   Base land speed 30 ft.
·   Dimension Door (Su): 1/day as a Full Round Action the Chameleon Man may teleport anywhere within 120'.  This otherwise is similar to the Dimension Door spell, except that you never risk teleporting into solid matter.  You may use it 2/day at ECL 5, 3.day at ECL 8, and at will once you reach ECL 10.
·   A Chameleon Man has 2 Racial Hit Dice, giving it the following: 2d8 Hit Points, +1 Base Attack Bonus, +0 Fort Save, +3 Ref Save, +0 Will Save, and (2 + Int modifier) skill points per level (with times 4 skill points for the first level).  Class skills are Hide, Listen, Move Silently, Spot, and Survival. It also gets 1 Feat.

AGING EFFECTS
 Middle Age: 175
 Old: 263
 Venerable: 350
 Maximum Age: +4d%

HEIGHT AND WEIGHT
 Base Height: 6'10"
 Height Modifier: +2d6"
 Base Weight: 180 lbs.
 Weight Modifier: x (2d6) lbs.

CHAMELEON MAN CHARACTERS
 Despite the Full Round limitation on their teleport ability it still gives Chameleon Men quite a few tactical advantages.  They can reach normally inaccessible places to fire from if they are ranged combatants. They can cross areas too large to jump across, avoid Climbing Checks, etc.  It also make setting up for ambushes easier.
 Adventuring Race: Chameleon Men adventure because their tribe is wiped out, or because it needs aid. 
 Character Development: Using your Racial stealth bonuses requires you to forego armor or clothing, so maybe get something like Vow of Poverty to make up for that, or do your best to qualify as one of the Lords of Shade and Hue (forthcoming prestige class) which lets you become a true chameleon.
 Character Names: Chameleon Men use Dragon names.

ROLEPLAYING A CHAMELEON MAN
 The wonders of nature must be defended from the other races who are not mentally fit to be their care takers.  The only outsiders you find acceptable are Druids, who have taught you much about the world (in fact they have likely taught your people all you know about the world).
 Personality: Chameleon Men rarely change expression, and many are assumed to be emotionless, though this may be due to the fact that they put so much distance between themselves and other races.
 Behaviors: Chameleon Men like to remain hidden and immobile for long periods of time, simply observing events around them.  They do their best to be caretakers of the natural places of the world, and often chase off or destroy those who would despoil the environment.
 Language: Most Chameleon Men speak Draconic, with some speaking Common as well.

CHAMELEON MAN SOCIETY
 The center of Chameleon Man society is the tookoo, a magical site of some sort that is usually a natural feature of some kind enhanced by mystic forces.  The tookoo radiates magic for purposes of spells like Detect Magic, and Chameleon Men defending it (within 100') gain a +2 Bonus on Attack and Damage Rolls and may Take 20 on Willpower Saves.  They do this as the tookoo is their only means of reproduction.  The Chameleon Men currently have no females, and when they offer up their shed skin to the tookoo there is a 60% chance that it will become a new Chameleon Man which will grow to adulthood within 8 weeks.
 Alignment : Most Chameleon Men are strongly Neutral, preferring to avoid contact with anyone they don't know.
 Lands : The Chameleon Men prefer to live in caverns in warm or temperate forests or plains. 
 Settlements : As they do not like contact with other races the Chameleon Men avoid spreading.
 Beliefs : Most Chameleon Men worship the Great One or one of the Neutral Immortals (usually Ka).
 Relations: The Chameleon Men avoid contact with other races, especially Lizardfolk who hunt and kill them.

CHAMELEON MAN ADVENTURES
·   A young Dragon has been driving away the fish your tribe depends on.  You really don't want to dishonor it by running it off, but you feel it needs to go...
·   Rumors have reached you of a Chameleon Woman, which the tribe has long thought impossible.  You must see this for yourself.
·  The Lizardfolk tribe living nearby has fled, and there are signs something has taken up residence in one of the larger swamp caves...

HEIGHT AND WEIGHT
 Base Height: 7'3"
 Height Modifier: +2d12"
 Base Weight: 420 lbs.
 Weight Modifier: x (2d6) lbs.

GATOR MAN CHARACTERS
 You are quite obviously built to be a semi-aquatic beatstick. 
 Adventuring Race: Gator Men go on adventures as part of their military, or for revenge.  They're pretty darn big on revenge.
 Character Development: With your LA and Racial HD casters are pointless.  Focus on melee classes, as that is where you will shine best.  With your racial penalties to mental stats make sure you have bonuses to Saves to avoid spells that could reduce your Int or Cha to 0.
 Character Names: Gator Men use Lizardfolk names.

ROLEPLAYING A GATOR MAN
 Trust no one.  The world is your enemy, and you show it no mercy.  Violence is the only method you know of to solve problems, and you use it with little thought as to the consequences.
 Personality: Gator Men are brutes.  Raised to be little more than cheap muscle and cannon fodder, they resent their creators, their parental race, and the entire world.  They will likely end in tragedy, as they get wiped out defending themselves from their myriad enemies, or in pointless war.
 Behaviors: Most Gator Men are quite insane, or at the very least suffering from what modern society would recognize as severe PTSD.  Some have degenerated so badly due to side effects of their creation that they are little more than rabid animals, and their leaders retain control by virtue of personal power.
 Language: Gator Men speak Lizardfolk and Common.

GATOR MAN SOCIETY
 The Gator Men are at war with the world, wronged in every way, and driven mad from the magical experiments they have endured.  Their goal is to found a safe haven for themselves to exist, but they believe this is only possible with the obliteration of all the other races.  With their rapid reproduction they may soon force confrontation with the world at large.
 Alignment : The tortures they have undergone have broken the minds of most Gator Men, and the majority of them are Chaotic, with strong tendencies towards Evil.
 Lands : Gator Men restrict themselves to temperate or warm swamps.
 Settlements : There are few Gator Men, and for the moment they are trying to consolidate control of what little territory they do have.
 Beliefs : The Gator Men are not prone to religion, but given their alignment and warlike nature Atzanteotl might find followers among them.
 Relations: Gator Men hate Lizardfolk, as their own kind sold them to the humans wizards for experimental fodder.  They pretty much hate humans for the same reason, and leaving them alone is well advised.  They pretty much attack everyone on sight.

GATOR MAN ADVENTURES
·   The Chief has decided to get revenge on the long forgotten Wizard who created your species, and  you have been tasked with scouting the old ruins the human is said to live in...'live' being a relative term for a Lich.
·   There are rumors of a Lizard King uniting the Lizardfolk tribes for war, and you feel the need to quash this before they decide to unite against your tribe for past aggressions.
·  An albino Gator Man has appeared with his insane human bride.  The tribe is uneasy about letting them stay, because quite frankly the human woman is a bad omen and her husband is an obvious weirdo.  Granted, the rest of you are vicious xenophobes, so you have little room to judge.


Gator Man Racial Feats

Grab Hold
You can really clamp down with your bite.
 Prerequisites: Any appropriate Race (Crocodilian, Gator Man, Gurrash), BAB +3
 Benefits: When you succeed in using your Bite Attack against an opponent, you may immediately make a Grapple Attempt as a Free Action without provoking an Attack of Opportunity.  If successful you do your Bite damage with a successful Grapple Check.  You may use this Ability against an opponent of any Size, but if they are at least one Size Category bigger than you is not restricted in the weapons it can use to attack you (also Grappling it is probably already a bad idea).


Powerful Jaws
You can reeeally clamp down.
 Prerequisites: Grab Hold
 Benefits: You gain a +4 Bonus to Grapple Checks, but only if you initiated a Grapple via your bite.


Mutant
The magical experiments that gave rise to your kind came with some odd consequences.
 Prerequisites: Gator Man
 Benefits: Choose a 1st Level spell from the Druid or Sorcerer list.  You can cast that spell 1/day as a Spell-Like ability as a Sorcerer whose Levels equal your Hit Dice.


Super Mutant
You're a little odder than most
 Prerequisites: Gator Man, Mutant, 6 Hit Dice
 Benefits: Choose a 3rd Level spell from the Druid or Sorcerer list.  You can cast that spell 1/day as a Spell-Like ability as a Sorcerer whose Levels equal your Hit Dice.

Ranger
 Level 1: Lose Wild Empathy
 Level 4: Replace Animal Companion with the Grab Hold Feat as a Bonus Feat.
 Levels 2, 6, 11:  Instead of Archery or Two Weapon Fighting for their Combat Style, Gator Man Rangers can choose Bite or Greatsword.

 Daily Life: You live the life of a typical ambush predator, albeit one who has attained some level of early technology.
 Notables: Yok (CE Gator Man/Barbarian 2/Gator Rager 3) is a typical Gator Man.  In other words, he's completely insane due to the experiments performed upon him.

GATOR RAGERS IN THE GAME

SIS'THIK  (Mystara)


   
"You wanna pass this road you gotta pay a toll."

 The Sis'thik are leathery, tan-skinned Lizardfolk adapted to the harsh desert environments.  They raise Xytar Lizards for cavalry, and often prey on ant lions, jackals, camels, and wyverns.

SIS'THIK RACIAL TRAITS
·   +4 Con, -2 Dex, -2 Int (Male)  +4 Str, -2 Int, -2 Cha (Female)
·   Size Class: Medium.
·   Type: Humanoid with the Reptilian Subtype
·   Base land speed 20 ft.
·   Sis'Thik have a +5 Natural Armor Bonus to AC.
·   Desert Adaptation (Ex): Spot Penalties due to desert winds are lessened by 4 as the Sis-Thik have adapted to the sandstorms that consistently plague their lands.
·   Partial Fire Immunity (Ex): The Sis 'Thik are immune to normal fire damage, and have Energy Resistance 5 against magical fire.
·   A Sis'thik has 3 Racial Hit Dice, giving it the following: 3d8 Hit Points, +2 Base Attack Bonus, +1 Fort Save, +3 Ref Save, +1 Will Save, and (2 + Int modifier) skill points per level (with times 4 skill points for the first level).  Class skills are Handle Animal, Ride, and Survival (female) or Knowledge (Nature, Religion) and Spellcraft (male). It also gets 2 Feats.

·   Automatic Languages: Lizardfolk, Common.  Bonus Languages: Any nearby race, usually Draconic.
·   Level Adjustment: +1
·   Favored Class: Dragon Shaman (Male), Fighter (Female)

STARTING AGE
 Adulthood: 10
 Barbarian, Rogue, Sorcerer: +1d4
 Bard, Fighter, Paladin, Ranger: +1d6
 Cleric, Druid, Monk, Wizard: +2d6

AGING EFFECTS
 Middle Age: 50
 Old: 75
 Venerable: 100
 Maximum Age: +5d20 years

HEIGHT AND WEIGHT
 Base Height: 6' 5"
 Height Modifier: +2d6"
 Base Weight: 210 lbs.
 Weight Modifier: x (2d6) lbs.

SIS'THIK CHARACTERS
 The Sis'thik are basically good only as slow moving beatsticks or mounted fighters (though some may become Wisdom based casters).
 Adventuring Race: Sis'Thik go on adventures for fame, glory and wealth.  Except the males, who very often go on journeys to escape the Matriarchy (or the Blue Dragons that are behind it).
 Character Development: While strong, you are quite slow moving.  If you can't boost your speed, try getting a mount (preferably one of the fire breathing Xytar Lizards your race raises, if you can get one).
 Character Names: Sis'Thik use Lizardfolk names.

ROLEPLAYING A SIS'THIK
 The world owes you what you can take by force.   And you take as much as you think you can conceivably get away with. 
 Personality: The stereotype of the women are that they are greedy, grasping, and violent.  Men are thought of as dull and apathetic, yet they almost exclusively are given the gift of being Dragon Shamans.
 Behaviors: Males tend to be looked down upon, leaving most positions of political power to the women.  It's unknown why such physical and emotional dimorphism exists in a created race, and many wonder if there were a specific statement being made with their design (i.e. some God has issues).  Among humanoid beings, they would be considered psychopaths.
 Language: As usual they speak Lizardfolk and Common.

SIS'THIK SOCIETY
 The Sis'Thik are a matriarchal society, as they consider males lazy, worthless slugs only usable for mating and child rearing.  They are very warlike, and demand tribute of all they encounter.  With the exception of their Blue Dragon masters.
 Alignment : The Sis'thik are fairly merciless and uncaring, making most of them Neutral Evil.
 Lands : The Sis'thik prefer warm or temperate deserts.
 Settlements : Given their adaptations to desert life the Sis'thik rarely leave it.
 Beliefs : The Sis'Thik aren't very religious, but would likely worship Evil Dragon Gods if at all.
 Relations: The Sis'Thik are too violent for their own good, and will try to kill just about anything.  Despite the odds of them killing one being small, they seem to enjoy the taste of Copper Dragons.

SIS'THIK ADVENTURES
·   Someone or something is inspiring the normally docile menfolk to rebel.  An end needs to be brought to this quickly.
·   A Copper Dragon is loose in the desert, and  you have been ordered to bring it to the chieftess to be served as her dinner...
·  The Ant Lions you prey one have been suddenly getting smarter and fighting back.  You have been asked to figure out whats going on.

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The PC's are guarding a desert caravan, when they're surrounded by Lizardfolk women riding fire spitting reptiles.  They demand the PC's dance.  Clearly they've never dealt with murderhobos before.

XYTAR RIDER   (Fighter)
You aren't like the other Lizardfolk.  You want to ride a fire spitting dinosaur into battle.  And someone was actually willing to sponsor you!

BABBY XYTAR
At 3rd Level you have been assigned a pet Xytar by the Elders.  As an action, you can summon your Xytar once per long rest.

The Xytar appears in an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you.

The Xytar is friendly to you alone and obeys your commands. See this creature's game statistics in the Babby Xytar stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places.

In combat, the Xytar shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. The only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the Xytar can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

The Xytar manifests for 1 hour, until it is reduced to 0 hit points, until you use this feature to summon the Xytar again, or until you die.

Armor Class: 13 + PB (natural armor)
Hit Points: 5 + five times your fighter level
Speed: 30 ft.

Saving Throws. The XYtar has Proficiency with Strength and Dexterity Saving Throws.

Actions:
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: your melee attack modifier to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: (1d6 + PB) piercing damage.
Fire Breath. Once per Long Rest, the Babby Xytar can spew Fire in a 15 ft. cone.  Each creature in the cone must make a Dexterity saving throw against DC (8 + your PB + Constitution modifier), taking 3d6 damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

MONSTER HANDLING
At 3rd Level, you may make Wisdom (Animal Handling) Checks successfully on Monstrosities with an Intelligence of 8 or less if you wish to influence their behavior.

COORDINATED ATTACK
Starting at 7th level, you and your Xytar gain Advantage on attack rolls on any round in which you both attack the same target in melee. 

VICIOUS ATTACK
Starting at 7th level, your Xytar's Bite does magical damage.

MOUNTED MOBILITY
At 10th level, your Mount gains the benefits of the Mobile Feat, whether you are riding it or not.  You must have the Mount for 24 hours to bond with it to allow it the use of this ability.

FELL TRAMPLE
At 15th level, you may order your Mount to run a target over.  The Mount must make a melee attack after moving at least 20 feet in a straight line, and the target must be the same size as the Mount, or smaller.  If the attack is successful, it does 2d6 additional Bludgeoning damage, and must make a Strength Saving Throw or be knocked Prone.

MY LITTLE BABY IS ALL GROWN UP
At 18th level, your Xytar achieves adulthood.  Your Xytar now uses the following statblock, and you may ride it as a Mount:

Adult Xytar
Large Monstrosity
Armor Class: 13 + PB (natural armor)
Hit Points: 15 + five times your fighter level
Speed: 40 ft.

Actions:
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: your melee attack modifier to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: (2d6 + PB) piercing damage.
Fire Breath. Three times per Long Rest, the Adult Xytar can spew Fire in a 30 ft. cone.  Each creature in the cone must make a Dexterity saving throw against DC (8 + your PB + Constitution modifier), taking 8d6 damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

CROCODILIAN (BRUTE)


   
"You should probably stay out of swamps..."

 Weight Modifier: x (2d6) lbs.

CROCODILIAN CHARACTERS
 While you do well in melee combat, you aren't meant for range much without a Feat tax, and LA/Racial HD kind of mess you over as a caster.   Your race likes 2 handed or reach weapons, so get a nice big one and wail on.
 Adventuring Race: Crocodilians usually go on adventures to right some perceived wrong, or because they are forced to do so.  most of them live life as one with nature and don't like that disrupted.  Only a threat to the local ecosystem will really move them to act.
 Character Development: You're slow on land.  If you can't fix this, get a Reach weapon and make foes come to you, or ambush them by the water like Crocs do.
 Character Names: Crocodilians use Lizardfolk names.

ROLEPLAYING A CROCODILIAN
 Other races care about endless minutiae that you have no time or patience for.  Why spend all your days slaving away at a job to pay someone else for food when you can simply catch your own?  Why bother with buying weapons when you can simply make your own?  You really don't see the point to having a society.
 Personality: Crocodilians have little in the way of facial expression, and do not comport themselves in a manner normal to most other intelligent races.  Between that and their reserved nature, they rarely reveal much personality.
 Behaviors: Most observers don't find much difference between Crocodilians and actual Crocodiles other than intelligence level.  But for their habit of talking once in a while, the Crocodilians live pretty much like animals as they prefer a peaceful, uninvolved life as simple predators.
 Language: Crocodilians speak Lizardfolk (and occasionally Common).

CROCODILIAN SOCIETY
 Crocodilians have no real culture or society.  But for mating or mutual self defense, they are avowed loners who live in straw huts out in the middle of nowhere, or in the riverbeds with actual crocodiles.  they don't really band together unless circumstance forces them to, or they come under the influence of a Master Crocodilian.
 Alignment : Like most Lizardfolk the Crocodilians are usually Neutral.
 Lands : Most Crocodilians live alone, or with other Crocodiles in the river beds.
 Settlements : Some Crocodilians live in straw huts, but they are never far from a water source.
 Beliefs : Most Crocodilians have little use for religion, though some may follow the Lizardfolk Gods.  Captives of the Master Crocodilians often worship Evil Gods.
 Relations: Crocodilians are highly territorial, and prone to attack if hungry, but unlike many other Lizardfolk are quite likely to be helpful if one is polite, and approaches them in the correct manner.

CROCODILIAN ADVENTURES
·   A Priest of Set is attempting to unite everyone, and you hope to somehow stop him.  Your people were meant to live quiet, separate lives.
·   Something in the swamp water is poisoning the minds of the local animals, twisting them while simultaneously making them grow ever larger.  You have fled seeking help.
·  Four heavily armed drifters have entered the swamp and are in the progress of making fools of themselves.  You have decide to take them under your wing and help with their errand to get rid of them.

CROCODILIAN (MASTER)


   
"Bow to Set!"

 Crocodilian masters are much smaller versions of Brutes engineered by Evil deities to serve as Priests assisting with their plans of world conquest.  Their tails are much smaller, and they aren't nearly as massive as the Brutes.

CROCODILIAN RACIAL TRAITS
·   +4 Str, +4 Con, +2 Int, +2 Wis, +2 Cha
·   Size Class: Medium
·   Type: Monstrous Humanoid, giving them 60 ft. Darkvision

·   A Crocodilian has 3 Racial Hit Dice, giving it the following: 3d8 Hit Points, +3 Base Attack Bonus, +1 Fort Save, +3 Ref Save, +3 Will Save, and (2 + Int modifier) skill points per level (with times 4 skill points for the first level).  Class skills are Bluff, Hide, Intimidate, Knowledge (Arcana, History, Religion), Listen, Spot, Survival, and Swim. It also gets 2 Feats.

·   A Crocodilian has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered.

HEIGHT AND WEIGHT
 Base Height: 6'5"
 Height Modifier: +2d6"
 Base Weight: 210 lbs.
 Weight Modifier: x (2d6) lbs.

CROCODILIAN CHARACTERS
 You were meant to be a Cleric, and not just because the fluff says that's why an Evil deity made you.  Your stats are pretty much tailor made for the Class, and you cast at 5th Level despite having 3 hit dice. Your race screams Cleric so much most other choices don't compare.
 Adventuring Race: Masters adventures at the orders of their Evil heathen Gods, or to accrue wealth and power for the day the order to march comes.
 Character Development: You're a little slow on land, which is your only real weakness.  Spells can prolly fix that tho.
 Character Names: Crocodilians use Lizardfolk names.

ROLEPLAYING A CROCODILIAN
 You are dedicated to making this world a Hell on Earth, where the Humanoid races are bred as food or disposable workers.  Your God has promised you much power, and to achieve that power you must make his wishes come true. 
 Personality: Masters exemplify the worst traits of Evil.  They obey no laws, following their own impulses instead.  All other life, even other Masters are pawns, food, or slaves.
 Behaviors: Masters enjoy torture, sacrifice, and devouring opponents alive. 
 Language: Crocodilians speak Lizardfolk and Common, though many learn the languages of nearby evil races who worship the same Gods they do.

CROCODILIAN SOCIETY
 Civilization under the Masters rule is a brutal, oppressive theocracy dedicated to slavery and the worship of Evil Gods.  Humanoids are often sacrificed or eaten, and other more useful races are simply  means to an end.
 Alignment : Masters are almost universally Chaotic Evil.
 Lands :  Most Masters live in temples or cities built on or near rivers.
 Settlements : Given their nature, the Masters do not settle so much as attempt to conquer..
 Beliefs : Most Masters are beholden to Set, Sebek, or whatever other Chaotic Evil Deity created them.
 Relations: Masters are fond of Mummies, Jackalweres, and Spirit Nagas, but despise humans whose flesh they find addictive.  They consider other Lizardfolk as their pawns.  Everything else is fodder.

CROCODILIAN ADVENTURES
·   The time has come for your sect to participate in a rare competition to see who can gain Set's favor and become High Priest.  The reward is that you get to keep your mental and mystical powers, but gain the body and physical abilities of a Brute Crocodilian.
·   Set has ordered you to bring the swamp under your control.  Which would be easy, were it not for the Devourer who also makes it his home..
·  A human woman covered in scales shows up claiming to be your new concubine.  You didn't order one.  You don't really find her attractive.  And her blank, thousand yard stare and greasy smile tells you she's a few steps further along the path to insanity than you are...  Perhaps Set is testing you.  Perhaps she's a Devil, and Hell has realized you've aided in the Blood War.  Perhaps she's a serial killer who likes her targets scaly and believes she knows how to get close to you.  Either way, life just got interesting.


Crocodilian Master Racial Substitution Levels

Cleric
 Level 1: Crocodilian Masters revere Set or Sebek (though some are created by other Evil deities).  Set's Domains are Arcana, Air, Darkness, Evil, Hatred, Law, Scalykind.  Sebeks Domains are Animal, Evil, Gluttony, Scalykind and Water.  They also spontaneously cast domain spells instead of Cure or Inflict.


HIGH PRIEST


   
"BEHOLD THE POWER OF EVIL! MWUAHAHAHA!"

 The High Priests of the Master Crocodilians compete for the gift of 'physical perfection' from their creators.  Ironically their competing with each other involves assassination, neatly destroying their creators schemes.

BECOMING A HIGH PRIEST
Virtually all Master Crocodilians compete for this class.

 ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
   Species:  Crocodilian Master
   Patron:  Set, or another evil god
   Skills:  Knowledge (Arcana, Religion) 4 ranks each
   Feats:    Any 2 Racial or Metamagic Feats

Weapon Proficiencies: A High Priest gains no new weapon or armor proficiencies.

Ability Scores: At Levels 1, 4, 7 and 10 your Strength score permanently improves by +2.  At Levels 4 and 10 your Constitution score also improves by +2.

Tail Lash (Ex): You gain a a Secondary Tail Lash doing 1d12 plus 1/2 Str Bonus.  You get a Bite and a Tail Lash with a Full Attack.

Large Size (Ex): At 5th Level, your Size increases to Large.  This increases your Reach, and improves your land speed by +10 ft.

Powerful Build (Ex): Whenever you are subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), you are treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to you.

You are also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature’s special attacks based on size (such as improved grab or swallow whole) can affect you. You can use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty. However, your space and reach remain those of a creature of your actual size. The benefits of this racial trait stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that change the subject’s size category.

Arch Priest (Sp): At 10th Level, you can Shapechange (as per the spell) into a Deinosuchus (see Dungeon 145, page 66) 3/day.
 
PLAYING A HIGH PRIEST
 You are the best.  You tower over everyone.  Your power and guile are boundless.  You're pretty sure of this, because you make sure to tell everyone you meet.
 Combat: The more Levels the  Crocodilian has in this class, the more willing they are to indulge in combat, rather than setting back and using spells to back up minions.
 Advancement: Most Crocodilians tend to have a single minded determination to walk the same path with this class.
 Resources: You have whatever the Deity who created you is willing to part with, and what you can take by force or guile.

HIGH PRIESTS IN THE WORLD
"Man, that guy has issues."
 You have tons of people trying to backstab you and usurp your position.  And tons more you intend to backstab for various reasons yourself.  In short, you're a drama king who lives for the chaos.
 Daily Life: Your days are spent in endless schemes and religious duties.
 Notables: Sobekhotep (CE Master Crocodilian Cleric 3/High Priest 2) is a typical Master Crocodilian.  All ego.
 Organizations: You belong to your creators clergy, on pain of death.  He made you, he owns you.

NPC Reaction
 NPC's generally see you for the monster you are.

HIGH PRIESTS IN THE GAME
 This assumes you are the scion of an Evil God.  Could make things a bit tricky for the group.
 Adaptation: This is meant for all evil Forgotten Realms Campaigns, but it could be adapted to others.
 Encounters: You are generally only found in your lair.

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The PC's are visiting a local temple, when it gets raided by talking alligators.  They manage to put the invasion down before tracing it to a rival temple.  Normally they wouldn't get involved, but one of the gators ate the Wizards favorite wand.

CAYMA CHARACTERS
 Your dex bonus makes you a pretty good rider so long as you have the right equipment.  And who doesn't find a little bitty lizard guy on a giant cow to be amusing?
 Adventuring Race: Caymas go on adventures to defend their people, get back things that have been stolen from them, etc.  Basically your not so evil motivations.
 Character Development: Your small size and slow movement rate will give you problems in melee.  Fortunately your race are well renowned Aurochs riders and lizard chariot racers, and your Wizards have a talent for making magical grenades.  So screw melee, ride a giant bull while flinging explosives like beads at Mardi Gras.
 Character Names: Cayma use Lizardfolk names.

ROLEPLAYING A CAYMA
 Your people generally tend to be good at two things: riding bulls and hiding.  Your dream is to one day become so good at both that observers think the bull is riding itself for lack of a better term.
 Personality: You like fading into the background and being unobtrusive.  The unnoticed are safe.
 Behaviors: The Cayma survive by being unobtrusive.  They also have a startling inventive streak despite their racial Intelligence penalty, and have come up with some pretty odd things.  Much of their time is spent observing and trying to figure out how to 'make stuff better'.
 Language: Cayma speak Lizardfolk and Common.

CAYMA SOCIETY
 Cayma are devoted cattle ranchers and traders.  Most of their time is spent gathering cinnabryl and maintaining their Aurochs herds. 
 Alignment : Most Cayma are strictly Neutral.
 Lands : All Cayma live in the swamp known as The Bayou on the Orc's Head Peninsula.
 Settlements : The Cayma sometimes extend their grazing lands, but only rarely.
 Beliefs : Cayma likely worship Ka the Preserver.
 Relations: Cayma tolerate the Shazaks, but fear the Gurrash and most any race larger then themselves.

CAYMA ADVENTURES
·   Someone bin rustlin' yer cattle.  Time to round up the boys.
·   The Gurrash are on the move, and your village is in their path.  Time to form a plan for defense.
·  A large ghost bull has been sighted in the swamp, and you have been asked to find a way to lay it to rest.



Cayma Racial Feats

Craft Grenade
You make the things what go boom.
 Prerequisites: Cayma, Caster Level 1st
 Benefits: You can make Cayma Grenades.  These are effectively Scrolls with the following differences: Anyone can use them if they have Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Cayma Grenades).  Activation is Swift (Manipulation).  Only spells which have an area effect that is a burst, emanation or spread AND do damage can be made into grenades.  Additionally, the following can be made into grenades as well: Sleep, Fog Cloud, Stinking Cloud, Deep Slumber or Cloudkill.  Sleep and Deep Slumber both create a 10 foot radius cloud that affects those inside it.  Cayma Grenades weigh 6 ounces, and have a range increment of 10 feet.


Aurochs Rancher
You're a professional cowherd.
 Prerequisites: Cayma
 Benefits: You get a +2 Bonus or Jump and Ride Checks (this stacks with Animal Affinity).  You do not take the -5 penalty to Ride Checks for having an 'ill-suited' mount.


Bone Spell
You wave carved bones at people, and they assume your spells are more powerful (and whaddya know, they are).
 Prerequisites: Cayma, Caster Level 3rd
 Benefits: You may susbstitute a Focus made of bone for any spell that requires a Material Component worth 1 GP or less.  If you sacrifice the bone as a Free Action, the next spell you cast increases it's Caster Level by 2.



Cayma Racial Substitution Levels

Fighter
 Level 4: Instead of a Fighter Bonus Feat you gain the Wild Cohort Feat.  You may only choose a Bison for your Cohort, but don't take the three Level Penalty for purposes of determining it's abilities.  Also technically its an Aurochs, but Bison stats will have to do.

Scout
 Levels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19: Replace Skirmish with Ambush
  Ambush (Ex): In any round in which the Scout makes an attack against an opponent who is Flat-Footed or unaware of his presence he does +1d6 damage. He also gets this bonus to ranged attacks performed on any round in which he does not move. This extra damage increases by 1d6 for every four levels gained above 1st (2d6 at 5th, 3d6 at 9th, 4d6 at 13th, and 5d6 at 17th level).

The extra damage only applies against living creatures that have a discernible anatomy. Undead, constructs, oozes, plants, incorporeal creatures, and creatures immune to extra damage from critical hits are not vulnerable to this additional damage. The scout must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. Scouts can apply this extra damage to ranged attacks made while skirmishing, but only if the target is within 30 feet.

At 3rd level, the applicable range for your Ambush attack increases by +20'. This bonus improves by and additional 20' for every four levels gained above 3rd (+40' at 7th, +60' at 11th, +80' at 15th, and +120' at 19th level).

A scout loses this ability when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load. If she gains the skirmish ability from another class, the bonuses stack.
 
Ranger
 Level 1: Lose Wild Empathy but gain Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Cayma Grenades)
 Levels 2, 6, 11:  Instead of Archery or Two Weapon Fighting for their Combat Style, Cayma Rangers can choose Aurochs Rider or Grenadier.
  Combat Style: Aurochs Rider gets Mounted Combat at 2nd Level, Ride-By Attack at 6th Level, and Spirited Charge at 11th Level.  Grenadier gets Weapon Focus (Cayma Grenade) at 2nd Level, Grenadier at 6th Level (See PHB2), and Far Shot at 11th Level.

PLAYING A GRENADIER
 You're good at tall tales for such a little fella.  But people give leeway to those who can ride an Aurichs despite being only a little bit bigger than the cows foot..
 Combat: You are ranged cavalry, tossing spears and grenades as you ride by..
 Advancement: Most Grenadiers have a fairly similar skillset.
 Resources: As long as you're fighting for the tribe, you have whatever they can provide.

GRENADIERS IN THE WORLD
"There goes Wilbur again..."!
 You're generally heroes to your people.  You take care of them, their land, and their food..
 Daily Life: Much of your day is spent tending the cattle, or riding on patrol.
 Notables: Crazy Wilbur (CN Male Cayma Ranger 6/Grenadier 4) is crazier than the usual Aurochs Rider.
 Organizations: All Grenadiers are members of the Cayma military.

NPC Reaction
 NPC's tend to stare at you with open mouthed stupefaction.  They don't see you're like very often.

GRENADIERS IN THE GAME
 Your most common weapon is only produced by your species.  That and your mount kind of limits your travel range.
 Adaptation: This is meant for the Savage Coast, but could be adapted with some work.
 Encounters: You are encountered guarding villages or cattle, or during times of war, on patrol.

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The PC's are bargaining for a swamp guide, when a lunatic rides by on some sort of giant bull, leaving explosives in his wake.  Your charred familiar stares back at you and asks 'whhhhyyyyy?'

GRENADIER   (Fighter)
It takes a special sort of crazy to ride an Aurochs into battle with grenades as your primary weapon.

AUROCHS
At 3rd Level you have been assigned a pet Aurochss by the Elders.  As an action, you can summon your Aurochs once per long rest.

The Aurochs appears in an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you.

The AUrochs is friendly to you alone and obeys your commands. See this creature's game statistics in the Aurochs stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places.

In combat, the Aurochs shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. The only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the Aurochs can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

The Aurochs manifests for 1 hour, until it is reduced to 0 hit points, until you use this feature to summon the Aurochs again, or until you die.

Armor Class: 11 + PB (natural armor)

CRAFT GRENADES
At 10th level, you can Craft Cayma Grenades.  A Sleep or Fog Grenade costs 50 gp and 1 day to make.  A Choke Grenade costs 200 GP and costs 2 days to make.  All Cayma Grenades are thrown weapons with a range of 20/60 feet, and weighs half a pound.  Each Grenade creates a 20 foot radius cloud of mist with different effects.  The Sleep Grenade acts as a Sleep spell, the Fog Grenade acts as a Fog Cloud spell, and the Choke Grenade acts as a Stinking Cloud spell.  Each grenade is one use only, and has duration of 1 Minute or until a wind of moderate or greater speed (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses it. Save DC, if applicable, is 10 plus PB.

HORNS OF POWER
At 15th level, the Gore  attack of your Aurochs now does (2d8 + PB) damage, and is considered a magical weapon.

CAVALRY SERGEANT
At 18th level, you can now make Boom Grenades.  Boom Grenades weigh a 1/2 pound, and can be thrown 20/60 feet as a ranged weapon.  It costs 200 GP, and takes 2 days to make.  When used it does 4d6 fire and 4d6 piercing damage in a 20 foot radius, unless the targets make a Dexterity Saving Throw for half damage (Save DC is 10+PB).

GURRASH CHARACTERS
 Most Gurrash are, by far, mostly Barbarians, though they have the occasional Cleric.  As usual their Racial HD make casters problematic.
 Adventuring Race: Gurrash are on a religious mission to wipe out all life except themselves. They don't have time for much else unless they've fled their own people.
 Character Development: Given your races paranoia and intense competitiveness, you'd best be self-sufficient if you intend to survive.
 Character Names: Gurrash use Lizardfolk names.

ROLEPLAYING A GURRASH
 Gurrash have a well deserved reputation for showing no mercy.  They believe other races are food and intend to wipe them from the Earth.  Obviously this means you have pretty damn few friends...
 Personality: The entire world is your enemy, even other Gurrash.  Your people may be Goron's chosen, but you must prove to her you deserve her attention more than your fellows, so even they aren't entirely allies.
 Behaviors: Gurrash spend most of their time hunting or fighting.  They will even eat one another given the chance.

·   The Herathians have been spotted in your territory, and it's obvious they're looking for something.  The chieftain wants to go to war, but you know the tribe isn't prepared for it.  You need to find out what's going on and settle things before the tribe does something foolish.
·  Famine has hit the swamps, and your food sources are drying up.  You need to find out whats going on or your people will have to resort to cannibalism.

HEIGHT AND WEIGHT
 Base Height: 7'3"
 Height Modifier: +2d12"
 Base Weight: 130 lbs.
 Weight Modifier: x (2d6) lbs.

KROLLI CHARACTERS
 While LA/Racial HD kills off any thoughts you may have of being a caster, you will make  a pretty decent flying warrior.  Despite this, a plurality of your population become Clerics.
 Adventuring Race: Krolli venture forth as traders and mercenaries to earn the wealth they covet so much.  While not many of their race go on adventures those that do often mention money as the reason.  In fact, members of your race are primarily adventurers.
 Character Development: You're slow on the land so develop your aerial fighting abilities, and work on extending your flight time.
 Character Names: Krolli use Lizardfolk names.

ROLEPLAYING A KROLLI
 You're kind of hard to like.  Others find you greedy, contemptuous, and aloof.  However they are willing to pay you well to fight on their behalf, and that's what matters most.
 Personality: Might makes right, and if you don't have enough might, you'll accrue wealth until you do.   You'd be great robber baron capitalists if you could stand to associate with the other races for any length of time.
 Behaviors: Krolli are loners, living only in small cliques, and never associating much outside them.  They don't feel comfortable in large groups, especially among other humanoids.
 Language: Krolli speak Lizardfolk and Common.

KROLLI SOCIETY
 The Krolli are social darwinists, believing that only the strong survive, and going so far as to letting their children die if they can't escape their eggs on their own without help (Krolli eggs are very tough).  Evil Krolli are known to be slavers.
 Alignment : Krolli are almost as variable as human beings, and have no real specific leanings in their alignment.
 Lands : Krolli live in aeries in hills or mountains in an area known as The Arm of the Immortals. 
 Settlements : Krolli are a sparse race, and have not spread from their homeland (at least not as far as settling anyway).
 Beliefs : Most Krolli worship Ka the Preserver.
 Relations: Krolli prefer to avoid other races, but they do enjoy wealth and are willing to trade for it, particularly with the humans.  The tribes among them who are slave owners are a minority, but their activities soil the reputation of all Krolli.

KROLLI ADVENTURES
·   Something has been poaching your peoples eggs.  You need to put a stop to it before your people are wiped out.
·   The humans your people trade with are late.  Scouts have found them dead at the base of the mountain, and you need to find out why before you are blamed.
·  A strange humanoid unlike anything you have ever seen has turned up at the aerie,  claiming to be an Immortal who will lead your people to their true destiny,  You are skeptical, but whatever he is, he has immense power.  You'll need to go find help for this one.



Krolli Racial Feats

Powerful Build
Flying requires serious muscles.
 Prerequisites: Krolli, Str 15+
 Benefits: The physical stature of Krolli lets them function in many ways as if they were one size category larger.

Whenever a Krolli is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), the Krolli is treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to him.

A Krolli is also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature’s special attacks based on size (such as improved grab or swallow whole) can affect him. A Krolli can use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty. However, his space and reach remain those of a creature of his actual size. The benefits of this racial trait stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that change the subject’s size category.


Initiate of Ka
Ka the Preserver has accepted you as a member of his clergy.
 Prerequisites: Ka as a Patron, Lawful Alignment, Cleric Level 1st
 Benefits: Any weapons you wield (including natural) are considered Lawful-aligned for overcoming DR.  Add the following to your Cleric spell list:

1st Alarm
2nd Mechanus Mind
3rd Earthen Grace
4th Lesser Globe of Invulnerability

SHAZAK (Red Steel)


   
"The forest is important and should be protected."

 Shazaks are green or brown Lizardfolk with golden eyes.  Created by the Herathians as slaves, and subsequently freed, they still sometimes serve their old masters in times of war.

SHAZAK RACIAL TRAITS
·   +2 Str, -2 Int, -2 Cha
·   Size Class: Medium
·   Type: Humanoid with the Reptilian Subtype
·   Base land speed 20 ft.
·   +5 Natural AC Bonus

·   A Shazak has 3 Racial Hit Dice, giving it the following: 3d8 Hit Points, +2 Base Attack Bonus, +1 Fort Save, +3 Ref Save, +1 Will Save, and (2 + Int modifier) skill points per level (with times 4 skill points for the first level).  Class skills are Handle Animal, Listen, Ride, Spot, and Swim.

·   Level Adjustment: +0

HEIGHT AND WEIGHT
 Base Height: 4'10"
 Height Modifier: +2d10"
 Base Weight: 120 lbs.
 Weight Modifier: x (2d4) lbs.

SHAZAK CHARACTERS
 As usual the Shazak are meant for playing melee classes.  Losing three caster Levels huts too much.
 Adventuring Race: Shazak go on adventures to aid the Herathians, their own people, or other allies.  They also do so in defense of their realm.  They lack the greed common to many mercenaries, and the pursuit of money is not common to them.
 Character Development: Your people are known for riding giant Mobats, which considering your slow movement you will wish to look into.
 Character Names: Shazak use lizardfolk names.

ROLEPLAYING A SHAZAK
 The Shazak are survivors.  They survived being turned away by the Herathians, wars with the Gurrash, and now wars with the Rakasta.  Your folk pride themselves on their hardiness.
 Personality: The Shazak understand human and humanoid motivations far better than most other Lizardfolk, and even pattern their culture after humans (sort of).  In many ways their outlook is far more Druidic than typical civilized humanoids.  It's just that humanoid society is the only civilization they've been exposed to.
 Behaviors: The Shazak would be called environmentalists in modern society, and are very keen on preserving nature.  Spoiling the environment is one of the few things that really gets on their nerves.
 Language: Shazak speak Lizardfolk and Common.

SHAZAK SOCIETY
 Shazak society is modeled loosely off that of the Herathian nobility, with lots of the Druid's reverence for nature mixed in.  Unlike most of the other Lizardfolk they have established some advanced technology.
 Alignment : Like most Lizardfolk the Shazak are fairly Neutral.
 Lands : The Shazak have been chased from their native swamps by the Gurrash.
 Settlements : Having been chased form their homelands the Shazak are venturing into various swamps and forests of the Orc's Head Peninsula.
 Beliefs : The Shazak often worship the same Immortals as their Herathian creators.
 Relations: The Shazaks are often at war with either the Gurrash or Rakasta, thought they get along well enough with their creators.  Which is odd considering their treatment by them.

SHAZAK ADVENTURES
·   Something is chasing the Gurrash from the swamps into the forest.  They are obviously terrified of something, and you need to put an end to that something to prevent war.
·   A Rakasta has insulted a corrupt Herathian noble and suddenly hundreds of you are flying on Mobats, riding into a war no one wants.  There has to be a better way.  You need to find that way.
·  You'd swear one of the Mobats is talking to the others in batspeak.  And the way they all look at you when you walk up and find them chittering to one another...is not good.

NPC Reaction
 This is an in detail description of how NPC's would perceive your class and the immediate generalization that people would give of your class.

BAT CAVALRY IN THE GAME
 This class assumes you are in the military (or at least a private mercenary).  That could have implications for the group..
 Adaptation: This is meant for the Savage Coast Campaign setting, but could be adaptable elsewhere.
 Encounters: Bat Cavalry is usually seen in times of war, or when entering a village that trains them.

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The PC's are standing guard at the watch tower at night, when a lizardy looking fellow flies up on the back of a giant bat and asks where the army is.  He's late.  They really don't know how to respond.

At 3rd Level you have been assigned a pet Giant Bat by the Elders.  As an action, you can summon your Giant Bat once per long rest.

The Giant Bat appears in an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you.

The Giant Bat is friendly to you alone and obeys your commands. See this creature's game statistics in the Giant Bat stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places.

In combat, the Giant Bat shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. The only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the Giant Bat can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

The Giant Bat manifests for 1 hour, until it is reduced to 0 hit points, until you use this feature to summon the Aurochs again, or until you die.

DEMARAX (Planescape)


   
"Crystals??"

 The Demarax are bloated, semi humanoid reptiles with jewels studding their hide and three yellow eyes.  They move and speak  slowly and deliberately, and are often mocked for their perceived inadequacies.

DEMARAX RACIAL TRAITS
·   +2 Str, +2 Con, -2 Dex, -4 Int (minimum of 3), -4 Cha (minimum of 3)
·   Size Class: Medium
·   Type: Outsider with the Lawful and Extraplanar Subtypes
·   Base land speed 15 ft.
·   Natural AC Bonus equal to half Hit Dice, rounded up (max +10)
·   Spell Resistance (Ex): Demarax gain Spell Resistance equal to their CR plus 11. 
·   Spell Crystal Eater (Ex):  Spell Crystals are the physical manifestation of Summoning or Divination spells on the Outer Planes.  Touching one summons the toucher as opposed to whatever being it was sent to fetch, often causing trouble.  Demarax are immune to these effects, and consider spell crystals food.  They require one spell crystal per every 24 hours or they must make Fortitude Saves to avoid beginning suffering the effects of starvation (see DMG).  Demarax can sense spell crystals within 200' as if they had Blindsight, and crystals within that range immediately divert from their destination and head towards the Demarax at a speed of 50 feet per round..
·   Eye Missiles (Su): The Demarax can cast Magic Missile 3/day as a Supernatural Ability.  Each time it uses this ability it shortens the amount of time it needs to eat a spell crystal to avoid starvation by 2 hours.
·   Crystal Storm (Ex): At will as a Standard action the Demarax may unleash a storm of magic energy in a 20 ft. Area centered on itself (it is immune to the effects).  Anything within this Area of Effect must make a Willpower Save (DC is 10 plus 1/2 HD plus Con Modifier) or roll on the following:
1-2: Confused for 1d4 rounds as they are barraged by questions.
3-4: Blinded for 2d4 rounds by conflicting images of other worlds.
5: Victims Blink as per the spell for 2d4 rounds.
6: Victims are transported to the Prime Material Plane by the remnants of a Summon spell gone wrong.
Using this ability exhausts the Demaraxes life force, and it must eat a spell crystal within 1d6 hours or die.
·   Odd Mind (Ex): Demarax cannot lie, take a -4 Racial Penalty on Diplomacy, and Intimidate Checks.  They automatically fail all Bluff Checks.  Opponents wishing to make opposed Bluff, Diplomacy or Intimidate Checks against a Demarax take a -6 Penalty as well.
·   A Demarax has 5 Racial Hit Dice, giving it the following: 5d8 Hit Points, +5 Base Attack Bonus, +4 Fort Save, +4 Ref Save, +4 Will Save, and (8 + Int modifier) skill points per level (with times 4 skill points for the first level).  Class skills are Climb, Jump, Knowledge (Arcana, History, The Planes), Spot, and Swim. It also gets 2 Feats.
·   Demarax have a Primary Tail Lash attack doing 1d8 plus one and a half times Strength Bonus.
·   Automatic Languages: Common.  Bonus Languages: Any nearby race.
·   Level Adjustment: +2
·   Favored Class: Demarax (see below)

STARTING AGE
 Adulthood: 5 years
 Barbarian, Rogue, Sorcerer: +1d3
 Bard, Fighter, Paladin, Ranger: +1d4
 Cleric, Druid, Monk, Wizard: +1d6

AGING EFFECTS
The Demarax do not age and are effectively immortal unless slain.

HEIGHT AND WEIGHT
 Base Height: 4' 10"
 Height Modifier: +2d10"
 Base Weight: 150 lbs.
 Weight Modifier: x(2d8) lbs.

DEMARAX CHARACTERS
 Given their Spell Resistance the Demarax make excellent melee fighters against mages if you can find a way to overcome their speed penalty.
 Adventuring Race: Despite being inveterate wanderers, the Demarax rarely adventure.  They need to eat spell crystals to survive, and those are found pretty much on the Outer Planes only.
 Character Development: The Demarax are pretty odd ducks, and not really well suited for most classes other than their Racial Class below.
 Character Names: The Demarax use the names of nearby races if they feel the need to take one.  Among themselves they rarely feel the need for them.

ROLEPLAYING A DEMARAX
 The Demarax mentality is unusual enough that playing one will be difficult.  You aren't very intelligent, you have some obvious cognitive limitations, and you're compulsively Lawful.  Quite obviously you are not meant for campaigns involving stealth, subterfuge, or diplomacy as the Demarax are fairly incapable of all of the above.
 Personality: The Demarax are infamous for being brick stupid, and unable to lie.  However they are important to historians as they never forget anything.  Older Demarax can repeat conversations thousands of years old word for word.  It's difficult to converse with them sometimes, as they apparently have no separate concepts of past, present, and future.
 Behaviors: Demarax are obsessed by eating.  They rarely speak much unless it's to ask if you've seen a spell crystal. 
 Language: The Demarax speak Common.

DEMARAX SOCIETY
 The Demarax travel in small groups or alone, and rarely gather in anything bigger.  Their simple minded dedication to hunting the spell crystals that are their only source of food keeps them very busy.  Rumor has it they were created by the Powers of Law to abate the problems caused by spell crystals.
 Alignment : Almost all Demarax are Lawful Neutral.
 Lands : The Demarax are found on roaming the Outlands for the most part.
 Settlements : They can occasionally be found roaming into any Lawfully aligned plane of existence.
 Beliefs :The Demarax aren't known for being religiously devout, but it's assumed if they do worship it would likely be Lawful Neutral deities.
 Relations: The Demarax pursue food so single mindedly that few of them ever develop relationships.

DEMARAX ADVENTURES
·   A local mage has been bribing other Demarax with spell crystals to perform deeds for him.  No one suspects the dull, normally placid creatures of being up to anything so they never see it coming.  You do though, and you don't like it.
·   A Lichlord is mighty upset you've been eating his summoning spells, and he's decided to make you pay.  Fortunately he can't currently make a trip to the Outer Planes to find you. but he is willing to make contact with local entities and bribe them to pursue you.
·  You're being followed by some weird floating critter that's become attached to you.  You'd swear it's trying to communicate but no one seems to be able to understand it.  And you haven't felt hungry since it arrived.

Weapon Proficiencies: A Demarax gains no new weapon or armor proficiencies.

Eat Spell (Su): A Demarax can siphon spell energy away from his target and use it to feed himself. A Demarax who hits an opponent with a successful melee attack can choose to 'eat' a spell, or the potential to cast a specific known spell, from his target. If the target is willing, a Demarax can steal a spell with a touch as a standard action.  The Demarax can also 'eat' Spell-like Abilities in this manner as long as they have limited daily uses (i.e. they can't eat 'at will' spell-like abilities).

The target of a Eat Spell attack loses one 0-level to 3rd-level spell from memory if she prepares spells ahead of time, or one 0-level to 3rd-level spell slot if she is a spontaneous caster. A spontaneous caster also loses the ability to cast the eaten spell for 1 minute. If the target has no spells prepared (or has no remaining spell slots, if she is a spontaneous caster), this ability has no effect. A Demarax can choose which spell to eat; otherwise, the DM determines the devoured spell randomly. If a Demarax tries to eat a spell that isn't available, the eaten spell (or spell slot) is determined randomly from among those the target has available.

For example, a 1st-level Demarax who uses this ability against a 1st-level sorcerer could choose to eat magic missile. Assuming the sorcerer knew that spell, a successful Eat Spell attack would eliminate one 1st-level spell slot and temporarily prevent her from casting magic missile. If the same Demarax ate magic missile from a wizard who had it prepared, the wizard would lose one prepared magic missile spell (but wouldn't lose any other magic missile spells she might also have prepared).

A devoured spell feeds the Demarax for another 24 hours and keeps starvation at bay.  This is cumulative, so eating 5 spells means the Demarax doesn't need to eat for 5 days.  Optionally it may use the devoured spell energy to fuel some of it's racial feats.

As a Demarax gains levels, he can choose to steal higher-level spells. At 3rd level, he can steal spells of up to 4th level, and for every two levels gained after 8th, the maximum spell level stolen increases by one (up to a maximum of 9th-level spells at 13th level).

A Demarax can also 'eat' an active spell effect from another creature. A Demarax who hits an opponent with a melee attack can choose to 'eat' a single spell affecting the target. If the target is willing, a Demarax can eat a spell effect with a touch as a standard action.

The Demarax can choose which spell effect to eat; otherwise, the DM determines the devoured spell effect randomly. If a Demarax tries to eat a spell effect that isn't present, the devoured spell effect is determined randomly from among those currently in effect on the target. A Demarax can't eat a spell effect if its caster level exceeds his Hit Dice + his Charisma modifier.

A devoured spell effect feeds the Demarax for another 24 hours and keeps starvation at bay.  Optionally it may use the devoured spell energy to fuel some of it's racial feats.

This ability does not work on spell effects that are immune to dispel magic (such as bestow curse).

Absorb Spell (Su): Beginning at 2nd level, if a spell or Spell-like ability that targets the Demarax fails to overcome his Spell Resistance, he can attempt to absorb the spell energy to feed himself for 24 hours, or fuel a racial feat.  A Demarax can't absorb a spell of a higher spell level than he could devour with his Eat Spell ability (see above).

Arcane Sight (Su): Beginning at 4th Level the Demarax permanently gains the benefits of the Arcane Sight spell (caster level is equal to Hit Dice).

Natural Weapons (Su): At 4th Level the Demarax's Natural Weapons, unarmed strikes and Grapple Attacks gain a +1 Enhancement Bonus, and are considered Magic for purposes of overcoming DR.  The Bonus increases to +2 at 8th Level, and +3 at 12th Level.

Magic Armor (Su): The Demarax gains a +2 Deflection Bonus to AC at 6th Level.

Improved Eye Missiles (Su): At 6th Level you can use Chain Missile instead of Magic Missile 5/day (see Spell Compendium). 

Devour Item (Su): At 10th Level if you hold an unattended Magic Item for a full round, it must make a Willpower Save or be turned into a normal item.  You are fed for 1 day per spell that is required to make the item.  You can only Devour Items if the spells that are prerequisites for it's making are of a Level you could devour using your Eat Spell Ability.


EPIC DEMARAX

Hit Die: d8
Skills Points at Each  Level : 4 + int
Eat Spell A 21st Level Demarax who hits an opponent with a melee attack can choose to 'eat' an epic spell, spell effect or spell-like ability. To successfully eat an epic spell, the Demarax must make a Spellcraft check equal to the DC of the epic spell. Devoured epic spells feed the Demarax for 1 month if they aren't used to power racial feats.
Absorb Spell At 22nd Level you can Absorb Epic spells, if they fail to penetrate your Spell Resistance, and you can make a Spellcraft check equal to the DC of the epic spell.  At 23rd level or higher, a Demarax can choose to use the devoured spell energy as an immediate action, to use to power his racial feats.
Improved Eye Missiles At 22nd Level you upgrade to one Chain Missile per Hit Die (max 20d4+10) and may use it at will. It still reduces the time for when you need to eat again.

 Cleric, Druid, Monk, Wizard: +1d3

AGING EFFECTS
 Middle Age: 10 years
 Old: 15 years
 Venerable: 20 years
 Maximum Age: +2d6 years

HEIGHT AND WEIGHT
 Base Length: 36'
 Length Modifier: +2d3'
 Base Weight: 16 tons
 Weight Modifier: x (2d10) tons

MARL CHARACTERS
 Marls are quite devastating as melee fighters, and with the appropriate Feats can be nasty at range as well.  Most do not seem to become casters, and express a profound lack of interest in arcane or divine power.
 Adventuring Race: Marls usually adventure because they are being paid to.  Usually in food and shinies.   Some few hold a grudge though, and are not beneath going on epic revenge quests.
 Character Development: Marls do not generally use weapons, especially ranged ones, unless they are taught to do so when they hire on as mercs.  Make sure you pick up Multiweapon fighting Feats if you go that route,  or ones that involve Grappling to maximize your natural abilities.
 Character Names: Marls do not generally have names given their lack of society.  They only adopt one when dealing with other races.

ROLEPLAYING A MARL
 Marls hate birds.  Some say this is not surprising given that marsh birds are their main food source, but the Marl genuinely seem to go into a mouth foaming frenzy at the appearance of anything with feathers.  Even they hae forgotten why, and it appears to be an atavistic response.
 Personality: Marls are mostly intelligent snakes.  Despite their sentience they care little for civilization, and are fairly apathetic to most things an animal wouldn't normally care about until they are convinced to spend time with others.  Being adopted by others brings about personality changes in them, making them more friendly and inquisitive.
 Behaviors: Most Marls spend their time sunning or hunting for food, and are loners by nature.  If adopted into other societies however they learn quickly, and most develop some sort of skill or hobby they quickly master by becoming obsessed with.
 Language: Surprisingly Marls have no racial language, and speak whatever is most common to the area near them.

MARL SOCIETY
 Despite being highly intelligent, the Marls are little more than animals.  They produce nothing, and live as any other non-sentient predator would.  Unless they serve as mercenaries they don't even really have basic equipment.  They are highly adaptable to new cultures however, and many have become famous artists and warriors.
 Alignment : The majority of Marls are Neutral, though those aligned with the Yuan-Ti are usually Neutral Evil.
 Lands : Marls live in temperate or warm marshes,  usually in or near rivers.
 Settlements : The Marl never venture far from large bodies of water.
 Beliefs :The Marl adopt the Gods of whatever society they join, otherwise they are fairly non-theistic.
 Relations: While the Marls will work with Yuan-Ti, Ophidians, and other serpentine races, they consider most mammals to be food.  The can be convinced otherwise by the quick witted or honest.

MARL ADVENTURES
·   Bird people have invaded the marsh.  Too many for you to kill personally, unfortunately.  Time to round up the others and go on a smashing spree.
·   Some Ophidian is offering food for guards.  Something about him makes you not trust him, but too many of your fellows have signed on to do anything about him.  Time to get help.
·  The Yuan-Ti have been holding perverse parties in the swamp and you are just darn sick and tired of it.  It's time to find some help to oust them.

HEIGHT AND WEIGHT
 Base Height: 6'
 Height Modifier: +2d8"
 Base Weight: 150 lbs.
 Weight Modifier: x (2d4) lbs.

DRAY CHARACTERS
 1st generation Dray are generally intended to be beatsticks.  2nd generation are usually Psionic or Divine Casters of some sort.
 Adventuring Race: Dray adventure when ordered to and for little other reason.  They have no real way of communicating with outside species as they have no common language, and they don't want to risk war while their numbers are low.
 Character Development: The Dray don't have much in the way of difficulties (except for Cha for the 1st generation).  You will however wish to pick up some languages or other means of communication if you wish to adventure.
 Character Names: Dray usually use Dragon names.

ROLEPLAYING A DRAY
 You are superior, you are one of the few to be Chosen.   The other races do not matter and are fodder, excepting other humans who can be made Dray.
 Personality: Second generation Dray tend towards condescending bigotry while the First generation are pretty screwed up due to their creators rejection of them.  They're more distrustful than homicidal towards strangers but their self loathing and love/hate relationship with their deity probably makes them a psychologists dream come true.
 Behaviors: The Dray's entire outlook on life is colored by their visions of apocalyptic future wars with all other races on Athas.  In short, they're almost a parody of fascists in some way.
 Language: After their transformation the Dray speak the tongue of ancient Giustenal, and would have to relearn any modern languages.

DRAY SOCIETY
 The second generation lives in something similar to advanced human societies with the addition of a few changes due to their new religion.  The first generation are little more than hunter gatherers, scraping a living from the land as best they can.
 Alignment : Much like the humans they were created from the Dray can be of just about any Alignment, though worshipers of Dregoth tend strongly towards Evil.
 Lands : The 1st generation inhabit the ruins of Kragmorta, living in caverns.  The second generation lives in New Giustenal.
 Settlements : While they have imperialistic aspirations, the Dray do not have sufficient number to conquer or settle.
 Beliefs : Both generations venerate Dregoth, but the first generation also hate him for his rejection of them.
 Relations: The Dray distrust all surface dwellers, while the second generation has been taught to actively hate them.  1st and 2nd generations aren't even all that fond of each other.  Humans are sometimes shown mercy as they can be converted to new Dray.

DRAY ADVENTURES
·   A second generation priest has approached you and promised you acceptance back into Dray society if you and your band can solve a little problem for him.  He's obviously lying, but can you afford to tell him no?
·   The Wall-Walkers have been conducting raids into Kragmorta, acting as if they have both intelligence and perhaps a hive mind.  It is a worrying turn of events.
·  A Wraith has been spotted in New Giustenal, and has survived all attempts to eradicate it.  Your team now has the honor of hunting it down, as the previous teams are dead.

 Alignment : Almost all Flailers are Neutral.  They still have an animal's mindset despite their advanced intelligence.
 Lands : Most Flailers live in stony barrens in the Tablelands of Athas.
 Settlements : Given that they're tailor made for hiding in their native environment, most Flailers stay put.
 Beliefs : The Flailers have no Gods or religion.

·  A group of Defiler henchman slaughtered your mate.  You have been tracking them for weeks, trying like mad to keep up with them (thankfully they're on foot).  You'll have to ambush them soon, as they're leaving the barrens within a few days.

 Base Weight: 2,050 lbs.
 Weight Modifier: x (4d6) lbs.

DRACON CHARACTERS
 The Dracons are pretty well suited to various melee builds.  Their LA and Racial HD complicate caster builds a bit too much, despite many of them being priests.
 Adventuring Race: Dracons removed from their family units/herds become ill, and if no other options are available will seek to join a new family unit, usually a party of adventurers.  They will also volunteer in any capacity to oppose the Neogi (or spiders in general).
 Character Development: Given your speed you probably do well as some sort of Charger build.  Your race is also pretty adept at wrestling as well.
 Character Names: The Dracon usually use modified Dragon names.

ROLEPLAYING A DRACON
 You prize honor and the needs of the many above all else.  Dracons despise selfishness and ambition, as what benefits the one generally runs counter to the benefit of all.
 Personality: Dracons typify what would be considered knightly behavior in other species.  It is known that you can generally take them at their word, and that they will not cheat.
 Behaviors: The Dracon are a fairly martial people, and spend much time practicing wrestling and various arms.  They seem to need to feel prepared for coming troubles.
 Language: Dracons speak their own language as well as Draconian.

DRACON SOCIETY
 The Dracon live in complex family units based off a herd mentality with each extended herd led by a Kaba who is a leader chosen by a confusing system of kinship relations.  He is assisted by the Shalla, a high priest.
 Alignment : Almost all Dracon are Lawful being as they live in herds, and the majority are Good as well.
 Lands : The location or name of the Dracon homeworld is unknown.
 Settlements : The Dracon are making their first forays into wildspace, and are fairly rare as of now.
 Beliefs : Dracons worship a mishmash of human, elven and dwarven deities led by an overdeity called the Ub-Kalla.  They are opposed by the Dark God, a giant spider like entity that devours or tempts the Dracon.  They consider Dragons the messengers of the Gods. 
 Relations: Due to a ravenous spiderlike monster they refer to as the Dark God, the Dracon hate spiders and spiderlike beings, particularly the Neogi.  Beholders they find comical, necessitating keeping the two races separate in order to prevent violence.  Dragons, Lizardfolk, and other centauroid beings are accepted and liked.  Most humanoids or semi-humanoid beings are pitied and considered deformed due to their lack of legs.

DRACON ADVENTURES
·   The Beholders have learned of your races tendency to make them the object of mocking comedy.  They intend to introduce you to some biting social satire of their own...
·   Neogi have wiped out your family, and by God you want revenge.  Though first you need to find a new family before you die of the jitters.
·  A dragon has hatched from an egg found in your ship and adopted you as it's parent.  Obviously this will not do, and you must find out where it's true parents are.

GAUND CHARACTERS
 Gaunds are perfect for melee builds, especially cooperative ones where a few engage and tie up opponents while the rest set back and use their gaze attacks.
 Adventuring Race: Gaunds don't need material possessions, and are generally content where they are, so it would take a need for revenge or some pretty life altering circumstances to convince them to go on an adventure.
 Character Development: Your vulnerability to Sonic attacks is a serious hindrance, and it should be addressed somehow.
 Character Names: The Gaund names are composed of the unpronounceable clicks and whistles that make up their language.

ROLEPLAYING A GAUND
 Yours is a race that often faces death by many methods, chiefest of which is the prejudice of the humanoids who mistake you for not being intelligent.  As such you have learned it's best to wipe them out on sight or bribe them with the baubles they seem to value so much.  The caves are loaded with gems after all and they're of no use to you.
 Personality: You aren't quite the dumb animals people take you for, you just don't see the need for living in a traditional humanoid style of society.  As if those egocentric jerks have a monopoly on the best way to live...
 Behaviors: The Gaund generally pretend to be brute animals since most other races mistake them for such.  Many outsiders are surprised that they are assaulted when they bother with the small herds the Gaund shepherd as food animals.
 Language: The Gaund language is composed primarily of clicks and whistling sounds.

GAUND SOCIETY
 The Gaund live very simple, primitive lives.  They are often mistaken for unintelligent giant lizards.
 Alignment : Like the animals they live among, most Gaund are Neutral.
 Lands : The Gaund live in hot underground caverns, usually in volcanically active areas. 
 Settlements : The Gaund do not like living near other races or in areas that are too cool, so they haven't spread much.
 Beliefs : If the Gaund have any Gods it is unknown, as they have never communicated much with the outside world (especially their private beliefs).
 Relations: Given that other races mistake them for animals (and thusly have no compunctions about killing them) the Gaund have traditionally not gotten along well with other species.  Plus they're fairly territorial.

GAUND ADVENTURES
·   Thieves are pilfering the eggs as they are coated in a valuable protective slime.  It's time to put a stop to this.
·   The caverns you live in are filling with lava due to volcanic activity, and you had to flee or drown.  Now you must find a new home.
·  The humans are offering a partnership.  Their 'protection' in exchange for access to the gems they wish to mine from your homes.  You are pondering how to best kill them.

HURWAET (Spelljammer)


   
"We don't tolerate your kind here slaver."

 The Hurwaeti are also known somewhat condescendingly as Wiggles, and are said to be related to both the Lizardmen and the Sahuagin (which all things considered should be impossible given their appearance and abilities).  They are humanoid in shape with long froglike limbs, webbed hands and feet, and scales so small that their olive green skin appears to be unbroken and shiny.  Heavy clothing is shunned in favor of loin cloths, and the occasional pack or belt for moving supplies.  Their faces are somewhat Gnome like, but exaggerated with a pointed chin and nose.  Unlike other reptiles (fish?) they have hair on their heads, and the older among them have full fledged beards.

HURWAET CHARACTERS
 Salt and Swamp Wiggles make excellent Barbarians or other melee combatants.  Spacefaring Wiggles stats are well suited towards casters but they have Racial HD, so perhaps it's better to make them more skills oriented.
 Adventuring Race: Spacefaring Hurwaeti are professional mercenaries and ship crews, they pretty much spend all their time adventuring in order to support their clan.  Swamp Wiggles are incredibly xenophobic, so they generally only adventure to prove themselves or because they have become outcasts.  Salt Wiggles are sometimes available for hire as cheap muscle or shock troops.
 Character Development: Wiggles make great backstabbers if you get their racial Feats enhancing their fog ability, and allowing them to see through mists.
 Character Names: Most other races cannot speak Hurwaeti, so they choose a name in the language of whatever species ship they are serving on.

ROLEPLAYING A HURWAETI
 The world is a tough place.  You have many racial enemies, and plenty of others are willing to take advantage of your reputation for being good employees.  Your more primitive relatives certainly don't help your reputation.  Your race has fallen far, and you are determined to change that.
 Personality: The Hurwaeti tend to be dour, nose to the grind sort of folk.  The more civilized ones are dedicated to their clans survival, and earning money to once again get their species back on track in the universe.  The Swamp Wiggles are recluses who rarely deal with outsiders, and the Salt Wiggles are little better  than flesh eating Ogres.
 Behaviors: With the exception of the Salt Wiggles, Hurwaeti of all sorts are dedicated workers, often referred to as the perfect employees.  Unless they meet members of the opposite sex, in which case they desert their positions to take advantage of the rare opportunity. 
 Language: The Hurwaeti speak their own language, and that of the Lizardmen which is fairly similar in some ways.

HURWAETI SOCIETY
The Hurwaeti were once a massive spacefaring civilization spreading their culture and beliefs.  Alas, they had the misfortune of simultaneously declaring war on the Neogi, Beholders, and Illithids.  The mistake cost them dearly, and shattered their empire.  But for a few remaining colonies, the majority have descended into a far more barren existence.  These 'Swamp Wiggles' live lives as little more than primitive hunters (or in some cases raiders).  Something has gone wrong with them as 2% of their children are born monstrous.  These children are almost universally tainted by Evil, and if not slain immediately they make for salt water to join their fellow outcasts.  The cause of this malady is  unknown.  Much of the spacefaring Hurwaeti have been reduced to salvage or piracy, especially towards the territories of their old enemies.
 Alignment : The Wiggles formerly leaned strongly towards both Good and Neutrality, but the harshness of their new existence has burned much of the Goodness out of them.  Mind you they aren't Evil, but they aren't exactly angels either.  Even the primitive Swamp Wiggles are mostly Neutral.  The Salt Wiggles, however, are almost universally Lawful Evil for reasons no one fully understands. 
 Lands : The Hurwaeti are nomads, and are usually found strictly on ships as very few of them become land-bound anymore.  Swamp Wiggles trend towards Temperate or Warm swamps.  Salt Wiggles usually make for temperate or warm oceans, and if they can't find others of their own kind, they often live under bridges killing passers by.
 Settlements : The Hurwaeti have a wide range of options if they wish to settle down, but Swamp Wiggles rarely leave their marshy homes.  Salt Wiggles keep to themselves as well if they want to live.
 Beliefs : Given their existence as travelers, the Hurwaeti encounter a variety of beliefs, and could worship a variety of deities.  The Swamp and Salt Wiggles do not appear to have a concept of divinity.
 Relations: The Hurwaeti are affable enough, and are dedicated and hard working.  They despise Neogi, Beholders, and Illithids.   Swamp Wiggles are xenophobes who will deal with outsiders, but only if they can be proven to be more powerful than the tribe.  Salt Wiggles are little more than monsters who see all other beings weaker than themselves as food.

HURWAETI ADVENTURES
·   Some kind of taint, whether physical or magical, is causing all of the tribes children to be born as Salt Wiggles.  This must be stopped.
·   The Neogi are in town for repairs to their ship, and both you and a variety of their haters have decided it would be fun to stomp them into the dust..
·  Scrags have decided to contest with you Salt Wiggles for your territory.  Let the wrasslin' begin!.

 Advancement: You develop whatever skills are most needed, trusting that it will further your career.
 Resources: You have whatever you can steal, or gain access to with the captains permission).

SPACEFARERS IN THE WORLD
"My crew can out drink yours any day!"

 Daily Life: As a ship's crew, there is always work to be done.
 Notables: Weetabix ( NG Female Hurwaeti/Scout 2/Spacefarer 6) tries to keep shenanigans on her ship to a minimum.
 Organizations: Just about every organization in Spelljammer has use for Spacefarers..

SPACEFARERS IN THE GAME
 This is a good class to have if you'll be serving on a spelljammer at any point.
 Adaptation: This is meant for Spelljammer, but could probably be adopted.
 Encounters: Spacefarers are usually encountered on Spelljammers, or port cities.

Sample Encounter

PLAYING A FOG BANDIT

 Advancement: The needs of your current situation tend to dictate what you learn.
 Resources: Unless you're defending the tribe, you have what you can take by force.

"Don't go into the fog!"
 You live deep in the swamp, and go unseen when raiding.  Pretty much no one knows what you are unless you leave a witness.

 Notables: Jin (CN Female Swamp Wiggle Barbarian 4/Fog Bandit 3) leads her tribe in raids on merchants who pass through her territory.
 Organizations: Given your abilities, you are popular as mercs.

NPC Reaction
 NPC's see you as the bad guy, much like any other bandit.

FOG BANDITS IN THE GAME
 This assumes you have been an outlaw to some, so try not to get the party hunted down for your past 'indiscretions'.
 Adaptation: This is meant for Spelljammer, though any setting with Wiggles will do.
 Encounters: Fog Bandits are generally encountered when you enter their territory.

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The PC's are hired as guards on a swamp expedition.  They're surrounded by a fog from nowhere as they enter the swamps edge.  Typical ambush.

KLA'A-TAH CHARACTERS
 Given their Racial Hit Dice and LA, it's probably likely that most Kla'a-tah will stick with some sort of melee option. 
 Adventuring Race: Kla'a-tah rarely leave their homes, and it would take threats of epic proportions to make them do so (though presumably they are as susceptible to the need for revenge as anyone else).
 Character Development: Given your limits due to your non-human form, and your lack of land speed, it would be wise to invest in something to offset this (even if it's just a caster Cohort who buffs you).  Otherwise this race is for ocean based campaigns.
 Character Names: It is presumed the Kla'a-tah use Tortle names, but with no one else other than Tortles having ever communicated with them no one is sure.

ROLEPLAYING A KLA'A-TAH
 You are one of the last defenders of the natural world and the Old Ways.  You cannot fail in your duties as protector.
 Personality: Kla'a-tah never shy away from a fight, and rarely retreat from one.  They see themselves as protectors of their territory and work tirelessly to ensure it is free of evil influences and monsters.
 Behaviors: Kla'a-tah are rarely seen other than attacking Sea Gluttons or other monsters, or sunning themselves on rocks afterwards.
 Language: The Kla'a-tah speak their own language, and that of the Tortles.

KLA'A-TAH SOCIETY
 The Kla'a-tah are rare and reclusive, and usually only one of them is seen at a time.  But for the moments when they have been glimpsed conversing with Tortle Shamans, it was always thought they were simply powerful animals.  Legend about their origins is divided.  Some believe they are Tortles changed somehow by the Monoliths of Zul or the Immortals, or even Tortles who have somehow overcome the Red Curse.
 Alignment : The few Kla'a-tah that have been encountered have always been Neutral Good.
 Lands : Kla'a-tah live in temperate waters off the coasts near Tortle communities.  It is thought they live in deep trenches towards the ocean floors.
 Settlements : Kla'a-tah have never been observed far from the territories of their Tortle charges.
 Beliefs : Given the many rumors of their attachments to the Immortals, they can presumably be said to worship at least one of them (likely Ka), but it has never been observed.
 Relations: They hate the Sea Gluttons and Cluu-rin,  but haven't been observed interacting with any races but them and the Tortles.

KLA'A-TAH ADVENTURES
·   A demagogue among the Tortles is preaching the virtues of a new deity, a deity that considers you irrelevant and possibly dangerous  Something tells you the newest assault against your charges will be a more subtle threat than usual,
·   Animals normally considered prey are disappearing quietly, and predators are becoming a threat to the surrounding area through sheer desperation.   You need to fix this quick.
·  Something appears to be directing the Sea Gluttons attacks.  They don't normally have much in the way of tactics or cooperation.   Time you round up some friends and go investigate.
