Lepi are a race of humanoid Hare that live in underground warrens on Animus Island. They have a smaller cousin called the Lepus. They both evolved underground, but the Lepi left their warrens to begin a hunter-gatherer existence.  Lepi were once high-strung herbivores with a, “hair-trigger” fight or flight instinct that favored flight. They developed sensitive ears and sharp eyes to more easily escape predators.

Whether it was from lack of food, population pressure or predatory pressure, no one knows. They are now omnivores and excel in the martial arts. Because of their muscular legs similar to a kangaroo, they are great leapers and use them in their natural kick attacks.

A Lepi’s fur comes mostly in shades of gray and brown, but other colors are known. They are very prolific and have few enemies. Favored classes include: fighter, ranger and rogue. Rarely do they follow the magic arts, although it is possible if one can sit still long enough to learn.

BASIC INFORMATION

Anatomy & Morphology

Lepi are medium-sized hare-like humanoids (animalfolk).

Genetics and Reproduction

Lepi are very prolific and tend to have large families. Females are fertile a few times a year, litter size can range from 2-6 kits, with 3 as the average. They prefer other Lepi partners but are compatible with many other humanoid races. These unions only yield one or two offspring, that are usually sterile.

Growth Rate & Stages

Lepi kits are born with their eyes open and can run around on all fours within a day of birth. They tend to be uncoordinated and clumsy for the first month or so, but learn fast. They grow quickly, and eat prodigious amounts to fuel this growth. Often 1-3 feet in the first year. They become an adult between ages 2-4, leaving home to train with the Fianna soon after.

Ecology and Habitats

Any temperate, but prefer mountainous and hilly areas, some like plains or desert as well.

Dietary needs and habits

Lepi are vegetarians, with prodigious appetites. They prefer a diet of root vegetables, tubers and greens; with a sprinkling of nuts and fruit. A rare few eat fish or insects.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Social Structure

They have a very structured society. Whether it be from the military or guilds depends on the location and time period.

Uses, Products & Exploitation

Geographic Origin and Distribution

CIVILIZATION AND CULTURE

Naming traditions

Lepi commonly have 3-6 names. The first name is usually a nickname, others are from relatives and the last is their surname.

Some examples are:

  • Male: adarin kordyne, algador swiftback, ballaw de quincewold, jodd, kersey, longeyes, lorquin woodsorrel.
  • Female: maudie, peasblossom, pennybright, petunia, daphne duckfontain dillworthy, dewfleck, ecrea.

Major organizations

The Fianna clans are similar to a militia, that is beholden to their clan chief. They roam their territory protecting the clan from roving hordes and enemies of any kind.

Beauty Ideals

A Lepi’s ears, tail and coloring are important to females as well as some males.

Gender Ideals

One of the few examples of differences in the sexes, is that females are trained more in ranged weapons than melee. In everything else, there is no difference.

Courtship Ideals

Females are often picky when choosing a male to give permission to court her. Courtly manners and battle prowess are important qualities in prospective mates.

Relationship Ideals

Honor and strength of character are important characteristics.

Average technological level

Lepi are a developing culture in the Iron Age.

Major language groups and dialects

Their main language is Lepin. Elven, Sylvan and Common are also spoken.

Common Dress code

Many Lepi, even ones that have retired from the Fianna, wear military uniforms or something similar.

Culture and cultural heritage

They have a militaristic society similar to the Irish. All Lepi have some form of martial training and most hold a place in one or another of the Fianna clans.

All Lepi are given basic military training, no matter what job they will fill later in life. After this training, they are required to fulfill 2-5 years of service. This is usually by patrolling with one of the Fianna clans that keep the peace along the borders.

Common Customs, traditions and rituals

Lepi follow the seasons and find any reason to have a feast. For this reason even a change in the season is the reason for a party.

Common Taboos

Making friends with vermin.

History

They are one example of Atlantean forced evolution that gained few side effects in the process. Lepi were bred for slave labor and cannon fodder. This is also why they were among the first to rebel against their masters.

Historical figures

Stonefist, an ancient Badger Lord, who traveled to Animus Island and led Lepi warriors in a battle against a vermin horde.

Interspecies relations and assumptions

Lepi are friendly with most good aligned races. Their closest allies are Elves, Tree Gnomes and Fey; as well as other animalfolk.

Icarans are sometimes born with taloned fingers or toes, and occasionally amber eyes like those of an eagle.

Like their celestial ancestors, icarans tend to take action at the spur of the moment when their abilities seem needed. Icarans rush into the heat of battle to face off against evildoers, only stopping to ask questions afterward. Icarans often have an extreme hatred for nagas and other snakelike creatures, a racial disdain no doubt stemming back to their garuda forebears.

Icarans were a reclusive gnome tribe that was rediscovered after the Mage Wars. They had fled Aquatica to the Plane of Air under the protection of Garuda; with the coming of the Atlanteans and their experiments.

Icarans share the Skylands with the Sky Gnomes and are often found on other high places throughout Aquatica. They love high, wide open spaces and hate being in confined areas.

These abilities are as the spell cast by a sorcerer of the Fey’s character level. Replaces fey powers.

Originally, Fey came from another plane called the Feywild. Like others on Aquatica, they were pulled here during the Chaos Wars. Now they live on Feyland, a surreal land of giant trees, mushrooms and other flora and fauna. These are found nowhere else on Aquatica. Normal laws of physics don’t apply here, because the land itself came from the Feywild many of its qualities stayed. Fey come from a supernatural world where distances are fluid and based on misdirection or force of will.

These fey live in a South American style society, they are peaceful unless provoked.

Chosen of Ssliora

Leave a comment

beb21ec90ad32c1c8760da0abe517938Chosen of Ssliora

The “Chosen of Ssliora” is an acquired template that can be added to any reptilian creature, or other follower of Ssliora that is chosen by the Priesthood. They are paragons of their race that are chosen to guard the holy lake Takshila, to make sure the Gods rules are followed throughout the land. There are three types of Chosen: Huntsmen, Enforcers and Teachers (the names are self-explanatory). Usually, the alignment of a creature that becomes a chosen of Ssliora matches that of the god that invested it with power. Sometimes, however, a god punishes a wayward worshiper or an enemy of the faith by making it a divine guardian.

Prerequisites: Reptilian race (naga, lizardfolk, follower of Ssloria, etc).

Challenge Rating: Same as the base creature +1.

Size and Type: Size and type are unchanged, but the creature might gain one or more alignment or elemental subtypes, depending on the alignment and portfolio of the deity that granted it the template. Possible subtypes include: air, chaotic, cold, earth, good, lawful, neutral and water. For instance, a chosen of Ssliora would have the lawful and good subtypes, even if it were actually of some other alignment. Similarly, a neutral god of water and ice would grant its chosen of Ssliora the water and cold subtypes.

Initiative: A chosen of Ssliora gains a +4 bonus on initiative rolls.

Speed: A chosen of Ssliora is gifted with incredible speed. Each of its speeds is double the corresponding speed of the base creature. If the base creature flies, the chosen of Ssliora maneuverability becomes perfect if it was not already. The water subtype, if acquired, grants the creature a swim speed equal to its highest speed.

Defensive Abilities: A chosen of Ssliora gains the following defensive abilities.

  • Ability Healing (Ex): A chosen of Ssliora heals 1 point of ability damage per round in each damaged ability score.
  • Fast Healing (Ex): A chosen of Ssliora has fast healing
  • Immunity to Mind-Affecting Effects (Su): The chosen of Ssliora is immune to all mind-affecting effects.
  • Immunity to Disease and Poison (Ex): Chosen of Ssliora are immune to disease and poison.

Weaknesses: A chosen of Ssliora gains the following weakness.

  • Bound to the Faith (Ex): A cleric or paladin of the deity that granted the chosen of Ssliora its power can rebuke or command the chosen of Ssliora as though it had only 1/2 the total Hit Dice (character level) it actually possesses. Establishing command over the chosen of Ssliora is performed as described in the Command Undead feat, and uses one of the cleric or paladin’s daily channel energy abilities.

Special Attacks: A chosen of Ssliora retains all the base creature’s special attacks and gains those described here.

  • Dimension Door (Su): At will, a chosen of Ssliora can use dimension door as the spell (caster level equals chosen of Ssliora Hit Dice) to reach any location within its sacred site (see Sacred Site, below).

Spell-Like Abilities: A chosen of Ssliora gains spell-like abilities according to its Hit Dice, as indicated on the following table. These abilities are cumulative. Caster level equals chosen of Ssliora’s Hit Dice. The save DCs are Charisma-based.

Special Qualities: A chosen of Ssliora retains all the base creature’s special qualities and gains those described here.

  • Blessed Life (Ex): A chosen of Ssliora does not age or breathe. It does not require food, drink, or sleep.
  • Sacred Site (Ex): Each chosen of Ssliora is assigned to guard a specific site sacred to the deity that invested it with power. This area may be a structure, series of structures, or natural site with clearly defined borders. It can be as large as a city, but in most cases it is a single temple complex or a sacred grove. Gods do not waste their powers on places that their worshipers can protect, so most chosen of Ssliora keep watch over abandoned burial grounds or lost temples. The chosen of Ssliora is charged with protecting the site from harm and preventing incursions by those not of the faith. It must keep its vigil until worshipers return or until the god deems the site no longer worthy of protection.

Abilities: Change from the base creature as follows: Wis +4, Cha +4.

Skills: A chosen of Ssliora gains a +5 racial bonus on Sense Motive, and Perception checks.

Alternate Racial Traits

  • Darkvision: Though uncommon, some groups of elves are born with darkvision, rather than low-light vision. In many cases this is taken as a sign of a dark elf (from teranik) in the elf’s ancestry, and can lead to persecution within the elf’s home community. Elves with this racial trait gain darkvision with a range of 60 feet, but also gain sensitivity to light and are dazzled in areas of bright light or within the radius of a daylight spell. This racial trait replaces low-light vision.
  • Dragon Magic (3 RP): Some elves have potent draconic blood.

The character selects three 0-level druid spells and one 1st-level druid spell. If the character has a Charisma score of 11 or higher, when in the selected terrain, she gains these spells as spell-like abilities that can be cast once per day. The caster level for these effects is equal to the user’s character level. The DC for the spell-like abilities is equal to 10 + the spell’s level + the user’s Charisma modifier. These spells are treated as being from a fey source for the purposes of the druid’s resist nature’s lure class feature and similar abilities. This trait replaces keen senses. Source HotW
  • Light against Darkness: Elves have fought against the corruption of demons since time immemorial. Elves with this trait receive a +1 bonus on attack rolls against outsiders with the demon subtype. This racial trait replaces elven magic. Source PRG:HA

Elves are the fallen children of the Astralus that lost their astral nature as a result of the Mage Wars. They are the younger cousins/descendants of the Astralus and live on the island of Avalonia between Atlantia and Anthroporia. They are taught from birth how their ancestors and the Atlanteans fought the Mage Wars.

Racial Feats
The following feats are available to a wild elf character who meets the prerequisites.

 

Wild elves are rarely seen by others, because they live in the heart of thick forests and have incredible skill at keeping hidden. Their skin tends to be dark brown, and their hair ranges from black to light brown, lightening to silvery white with age. Wild elves are a very reclusive race and prefer to be with their own kind in the deep forests.
They often cover their skin in tattoos or ritual scaring. Their housing, clothing, weapons and equipment look primitive but are well-made.
