I wanted to play a Forlarren in our Reign of Winter game after my first character died. The DM however felt it was overpowered...and also awkward since the characters were currently fighting Forlarren and might not take well to a PC of that race.
SO, I decided that if the nymph + fiend generally produced a character that was evil, with a hint of remorce. What if sometimes the opposite happened? Hence I created another race that was the polar opposite of the Forlarren.
Pretty sure I still won't get to play. But figured I would post here for fun.
Still a few areas I'm tweaking, but you get the idea.
Glaeden (7-9 RP)
+2 char, +2Dex?, -2 str (Standard 0RP)
Languages: Common, sylvan (Standard 0RP)
(2 RP) Fey: Low Light Vision,
(1-2RP) 1/day Spell like Ability: roll d8 random from list at character creation: 1-2 obscuring mist, 3 barkskin , 4 animal trance, 5 fairy fire, 6 greensight, 7 wood shape, 8 commune with birds
(-1RP, OR -2?) Bloodlust (Ex) Whenever the Glaeden kills a living creature, it must make a DC 15 Will save to avoid becoming overwhelmed with bloodlust. If it fails this save, the Glaeden immediately moves as quickly & directly as possible (despite any AoO this may incur) to engage in melee combat. If no enemies remain the Glaeden must succeed on another Will save DC 17 or begin attacking allies. Effect Lasts 1d6 rounds. This is a mind-affecting effect.
Add a negative to AC??
(4RP) Breeze-kissed +2 racial bonus to AC vs non-magical ranged attacks (calm or renew as swift). 1/day gust = bull rush or trip vs 1 creature w/in 30 ft – this exhausts the ability for 24 hours. Supernatural ability
(2RP) Seducer: +1 DC to Enchantment School Spells, if Wis 15+ then 1/day charm person
Take something to be Vulnerable to Cold Iron – trait?, but not DR...too powerful DM doesn't like it
A nymph's charm and beauty are such that she can seduce nearly any creature that she sets her attentions on—and often, unfortunately, creatures she would rather not consort with. When a nymph catches the attention of a fiend and the fiend takes advantage of the creature, the resulting offspring is not always a half-fiend. Roughly one in 20 such incidents results instead in a strange creature known as a Glaeden—a unique creature that possesses its own unusual abilities and qualities.
Polar opposites to their siblings the Forlarren the Glaeden inherit a powerful good and peaceful nature from their Mother. Most Glaeden are naturally kindhearted and sensitive. They tend to live solitary pastoral lives away from the brutality of the city. This peace is for some only temporary.
Just as a touch of the mother’s kind nature lurks in the heart of the Forlarren. a touch of the fiendish lies within the Glaeden. When this inner demon comes to light the Glaeden is often ashamed and horrified by her inner nature. Those few who learn of their inner darkness often leave their forest homes. In part to protect their loved ones, and also, perhaps, to channel their need for blood into the life of an adventurer
