You start with 10 hp and sanity.
You have 4+int mod skill points a level.
You start with 4 perks, but no more then one can be put in any one tree.
1 legend trait
1 spell known
You choose 2 good saves and one bad save.
Skills-
Learning alklo removes 2 points of sanity permanently, and you aren't capable of speaking it.
Knowledge (arcana) is replaced with knowledge (eldritch). Per rank in knowledge (eldritch), you lose 1 point of sanity permanently. This can be offset with psychological help, but the penalty can never be more then halved (minimum 1)
leadership:
It's allowed. I trust you not to abuse it.
You can take a -6 to your leadership score for the purpose of attracting followers to attract monstrous followers.
Shantak is added to the list of monstrous mounts.
the planet and gravity:
The planet is 4 times as big as earth, but gravity is a weaker force in this universe. Gravity is slightly less then earth's, and isn't perfectly stable everywhere- there are some points in the universe, (such as most suns) where gravity is inexplicably higher. The planet has three moons. One is red, and is the smallest of the moons, rarely seen larger then a quarter even at it's closest. Another is white, and rather large about the size of a tennis ball in the night sky at it's farthest. At it's largest, it's about twice the size of a dinner plate, and is the cause of fairly vicious costal tides. The third moon is also red, and about the size of the other red moon, earning them the name "the twin moons". They are only rarely full at the same time- approximately once a year. Some think the day this is on is lucky, especially the elves. The reverse is true when both aren't visible.
on elves:
Elves are somewhat mystic in stature, as they typically live away from large human settlements.
They are often regarded with curiosity, in the city, as they rarely leave more open land.
They have an affinity for high places, and often live in trees they grow. Their influence on human socioty is usually one of mutual benefit- they tend the land fantastically well, and sell food, getting more mechanical things from the humans.
A lot of elves that work with plants know a little magic similar to grass seed, and they cast it every so often without even realizing it, keeping the ground ever-fertile. (This is the closest thing to intrinsic magic in the setting.)
Elves are much less widespread then humans.
on half-elves:
Half elves are often sterile because of their mixed heritage, and typically behave like whatever race raised them.
They are somewhat common, because of elves seeing them as actually more manageable children, who grow up quickly, and the mutual fascination between elves and humans. No long-lasting commitment is expected from the elf, typically, leaving the human free from the relationship if they so desire. It's rare to make lifelike commitments with a human as an elf, because they outlive them ten times over.
low sanity penalties:
3/4ths or less-
-2 to perception, sense motive, will and reflex saves.
1/2 or less-
In addition to the penalties for 3/4th or less, you also are constantly shaken.
1/4th or less-
In addition to all previous penalties, spells begin to slur and have a 20% failure chance. Enemies have partial concealment to you as everything surrounding you begins to distort and move.
0- in addition to all other penalties, everything begins to want to "kill" you. Books will try to eat your fingers, the floor hands try and grab at your legs, ect... You are constantly flanked, sickened, cannot use anything reliant on concentration, and take an additional -8 to perception.
Sanity and spells:
Every level you choose sanity as your reward, you gain 1d6+4 sanity, with max at first level. You add your wisdom modifier to your sanity.
Elves gain an extra 10 sanity at first level, and take half sanity damage from insanity auras.
Half-elves gain an extra 5 sanity at first level, and get any one extra perk at first level from the Mage tree, the bond tree. (must meet requirements as normal.)
You do not regain sanity while maintaining a spell.
While at 3/4ths or more of your maximum sanity, you regain your wis mod (minimum 1) in sanity every 10 minutes.
While at 1/2 or more of your maximum sanity, you regain your wis mod (minimum 1) in sanity every hour.
While at 1/4th or more of your maximum sanity, you regain your wis mod (minimum 1) in sanity every 4 hours.
While at 1 or more sanity, you regain your wis mod (minimum 1) in sanity every day.
At 0, you don't regain.
Professional help doubles sanity regain while below 1/4th of your maximum sanity, and, if they make a profession (psychologist) check of 20 or higher, can heal 1 point of permanent sanity damage with a day of work, or heal 1 point of sanity to someone at 0 sanity.
Leaning a spell-
Learning a spell requires a spellcraft check. Typically, the dc to learn a spell is 20+The spell level. If your level is not at least 2 times the spell level, you cannot learn the spell. (Expect 1st level spells, witch may be learned at any level.) Failing to learn a spell causes the spell's level in permanent sanity damage. You may have 5 spell levels memorized at any one time+your int mod. (See perks for options)
