Just a list of the various races that I've converted to be playable to be playable. If there's any that you want to try, by all means request it. Feel Free to add you own creations/conversions. ************************************************************ Compiled Savage Species characters NOTE: Racial Feats are suggested feats, they are not received automatically, they must be taken as per normal. Alaghi These intelligent Sasquatch like creatures are semi-nomadic foragers who travel in small families. If the food is plentiful, they setup semi-permanent villages. Generally, they are peaceful, but will become extremely aggressive if cornered. Writers note: I nerfed both the hit dice, the attributes and the bonuses to lower the level accumulation to make it easier to get on with the character classes. Still debating to add another racial level to the mix for game balence. Regions (in Forgotten Realms): The high forest, and the Wealdath, and the occasional forest within the sword coast, and the north, Racial Feats: %Bullheaded, @close-Quarter fighting,, %Fleet of Foot, !Improved Scent, !Involuntary Rage, @primitive Caster, *Scent, !TreeFriend, !Uncanny Scent, !Winter's Child. Unmarked are in the Players Handbook * Monster Manual ! Savage Species # Draconomicon % Player's guide to Faerun @ Races of Faerun & Green Ronin Games: Bastard and Bloodlines Racial Traits Starting Ability Score Adjustments: +2 Str, -4 Int Speed: Land speed is 30 feet Size: Medium: No bonuses or penalties due to their size Automatic Language: Algathi, Common Favored Class:Algathi The best multiclass choices for an Algathi is barbarian and druid Class Skills The key skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Climb (str), Hide (Dex), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Spot (Wis), Swim (Str), Surivor (Wis) See Chapter 4 skills in the Player's Handbook for skill descriptions.

Class Features Weapons and Armor: The Alaghi can use all simple weapons and the hand axe, but with no armor and shields. Feat: At levels 1 and 4, the Alaghi gets an additional feat. The Alaghi normally takes Power Attack and Great Fortitude. Powerful Build: The Physical stature of a Alaghi lets him function in many ways as if he were one size category larger. Whenever a Alaghi is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip ), the hornhead is treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to him. A Alaghi is also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature's special attacks based on size (such as improved improved grab or swallow whole) can affect him. A Alaghi 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. Huge fists: The Alaghi unarmed attacks are considered massive for it's size. Instead of 1d3, they do 1d4 damage at level 3, and 1d6 at level 6. Additionally, they can decide to do lethal damage with their punching attacks. |

In the Forgotten Realms, They're most likely patron is that of the Cult of the Dragon. In return for a rudamentary orders and structure for various schemes, they are awarded magical trinkets and receive additional training.

Fremlin
An magical offshoot of the Gremlin race, these friendly gremlins are quite harmless. like their goblin kin, mischeiveous and a little
tempermental, but are generally more whiny, plump and lazy.
They look like small, slate colored gremlins, often with a pot belly. They can be irritating, but can be useful if fed and entertained. They
often shun clothing and ornamentation, believing their own bodies to be "beautiful". They generally avoid combat, due to fear, and lack of
experience, but there are occasionally exceptions. These are the adventurers of fremlinkind.
In the Forgotten Realms, they are rare, but friendly creatures. They often try to find some family to free load off of, in return for doing
some simple tasks. They are often used as spies ranging from such groups as the nobel Harpers to the sinister Zhentarim. Essentially, they
prefer to keep their nose out of trouble (save the occasional minor mischief), be occasionally entertained, and just drift through life.
Regions (in Forgotten Realms): Can be found in just about any inhabited area where people need lackys.
Relations: Fremlin are scared about just about everybody, given to bolting when things go bad. However, they are generally not evil, and if
shown a great deal of patience, they can be very close to their friends.
Alignment: Fremlins tend towards Chaotic Neutral, but often pick up the overall traits of the party they are currently hanging around with.
Relgion: Fremlin's are actually more agnostic then anything else, but may join a religion if they see a good oppertunity for a cushy job or
steady food and lodgings.
Names: Fremlin's are often have names of three and four digits that often end in i and r, and use a lot of k's z's and b's to give it an
exotic sound. They usually pick their name themselves, but may often pick a name from the culture they are in that they like.
Height: Fremlin's are roughly 1 to 2 Feet tall.
Weight: from 12 to 24 pounds
Racial Feats: #Clever wrestling, #@close quarter Fighting, *Flyby Attack, @gift of Tongues, @improved Flight, #Improved Speed, @improved

The Siv Regions (in Forgotten Realms): Cormyr (farsea marshes), The North, The Sword coast (marshes of Chelimber) These calculating Frog-headed hunaoids are reknown for the self assuredness and their elitism. They isolate themselves in communities that are best described as swampy monastaries where they practice their martial prowess. They believe themselves to be key players in the world, even though all evidence appears to be contrary to this world view. Still they are determined and surprisingly effective. They often appear to buildings that appear to be made of a glass like material, but are surprisingly strong and durable. A siv player character should be suffering from culture shock. One of the biggest challenges will be learning that the world doesn't revolve around himself and his people. Once this is broken, he will be very loyal to his companions, for fear of dealing with the outside world alone. For a rough idea of personality, think Rigel from farscape. Only instead of believing in the divine rights of nobility, think of a more meditative background and belief in the species. Relations: Generally, the Siv are Content to not give a care about the outside world. They used to have physical conflicts with the bullywugs, but now are content to manipulate them to do their dirty work for them. Alignment: While normally lawful evil, after a few hard lessons with the outside world, a Siv often abandons his evil nature to attempt to fit in better with the world in general. Losing their lawful nature is much more difficult, but possible. However, they often hold over what they consider the law to be which often causes conflict with the outside world in general. Relgion: In the forgotten realms, they worship a variation of the goddess Umberlee with a verement passion. In other fantasy worlds, they would worship gods of watery death and of amphibians. Rogue Siv can worship just about anybody. Names: They usually add a surname, not based on lineage, but on the name of the spawning pool that they hatched from. The number behind their name, is often misbelieved to be the number in descent, but usually refers to the pool they are from. For an idea of Siv names, click on the link below. allaboutfrogs.org/info/nameit.htmlHeight: 5-6 feet tall Weight: around 80-120 pounds Racial Feats: %Bullheaded, %Fleet of Foot, *Improved Natural Armor, %Mind over body, !Mighty Leaping, !Pain Mastery, @plague Resistant, @rapid Swimming, !Roll with it, !Swamp Stalker, Unmarked are in the Players Handbook * Monster Manual ! Savage Species % Player's guide to Faerun @ Races of Faerun & Green Ronin Games: Bastard and Bloodlines Racial Traits: +2 to dex, -2 cha +1 natural armor class Size: Medium: No bonuses or penalties due to their size Move: base 30 feet, swim 20 feet The Siv treats the weapon exotic (siangham) as a martial feat, rather then an exotic feat. Natural Swimmer: +4 bonus to swim checks and can take 10, even if rushed or threatened when swimming. They can use the run action while simming, provided they swim in a straight line. When carrying a medium load, a Sivs's speed drops to 10 feet, and at heavy encumbrance, a Siv can only tread water. Finally, a Siv wearing gloves or boots has his base swim speed reduced by half. Water Walking: The Siv can move accross the surface of water, bogs, marshes and other calm liquids as if they were moving on normal ground. A Siv who wishes to use this ability in combat, must succeed in a balence check (dc 10) on it's action. Failure indicates, the Siv has lost it's footing, bobbing on the surface of the water, but otherwise able to act normally that round. Returning to the water-walking state is a full round action. Siv who pass the balence check can even use the tumbling skill as if the water were a solid surface. In water that's troubled by small waves, the dc rises to 20, but splashing by people in the water usually isn't enough to count as true wave action. If waves are higher then 6 inches, sivs can't use their water walking ability, so they try to stick to marshes, dead lakes and other stagnant bodies of water. Resistant to cold: The Siv take half damage from cold attacks. Favored Class: Monk Language: Common, Siv ECL: 0 |

The Stinger (Converted from Monsters of Faerun) These scorpian men from the lands of Maztica are a curious hybrid of religious mysticism and martial prowess. They are centauroid, with the lower bodies of scorpians. Their upper bodies are red-skinned, hairless and appear slim and pleasent to look at. Their culture.is extremely sophisticated, but ultimately drapaved and filled with ritual. They have recently invaded the underdark under the nation of Amn and are using it for their own uses. They have setup shop in the ancient ruins of the dwarvern kingdom of Xothaerin and started rebuilding it for their own uses. A Stinger is a strange character to play, but suitable for fighting and underground access. They are fairly good skirmishers until they get their tremorsense at 3rd level. At 4th level, they become able to hide fairly effectively, using their bolthold magic. They also give a touch of the mysterious that can be fun to play. Note that any Stinger would have to reject much of their own culture and evil to work well within a party. However, expect the stinger to be very ritualistic in it's day to day actions. Regions (in Forgotten Realms): Maztica, Amn Racial Feats: !Deadly Poison, !Desert Dweller, !Extended Reach (Scorpian Tail), *Improved Natural Armor, *MultiAttack, !Pain Mastery, !Prehensile Tail, !Poison Immunity, !Poison Resistance, @primitive Caster, !Virulent Poison Unmarked are in the Players Handbook * Monster Manual !

Class Features Weapons and Armor: The stinger can use all simple weapons and the spiked chain, but with no armor and shields. Stingers count as non-humanoid creatures for the purposes of determining the cost of Armor (see chapter 7 of the players handbook). Stinger : The Stinger, has literally has a stinger that can used for additional attacks. It acts as an additional attack for multi weapons. It does 1d4 strength damage with a save of dc of 10 to negate. However, if it is used in conjunction with standard attacks, it is at a penalty of -5 to strike (-2 with multiweapon). At fifth level, the stinger has the stinger raised to 1d6 and the save becomes 14. Improved Initiative: Stingers get Improved Initative at 2nd level. Tremorsense: Stingers can automatically sense the location of anything between within 30 feet that is in contact with the ground. At 7th level, this increases to 60 feet. Bolthole Magic: A stinger can move 20 feet straight up or straight down, so long as it passes through at least a food of earth during it's movment. For every 5 feet the stinger moves through, it suffers 1d3 points of damage. If a stingers planned movement would place it inside a solid object it remains in place, but suffers the damage as if it had moved through the intervening earth. Stingers use their bolthole magic to move between previously prepared tunnels and the surface above, or sequences of tunnels, stacked one beneath the other. Use of this ability produces a flash of redlight and a small like that of burning insect skin (+4 to scent checks when detecting this). |
