New Race: Picts


3.5/d20/OGL


Not the historical Picts, but a race of Robert Howard-like subhumans.

  • +2 Dex, +2 Con, -2 Int
  • Low-light vision
  • Small size
  • Powerful build: Picts can use weapons as if they were Medium characters, and do not take a -1 size penalty to their CMB.
  • Favored class: barbarian or ranger.

    Too weak? Too strong? Too similar to half-orcs?
    Things that need changing/amending?
    Would anyone play one?

  • Liberty's Edge

    only if i get to call my first adventure "several species of small furry creatures gathered together in a cave and grooving with a pict"

    (also, i'd give them a +2 to ride with ponies)

    So, if I understand you, you advocate a +2 on saves vs. color spray, and a +2 on Charisma checks when dealing with lawyers.

    I'd add another trait: "inability to yell," if our players would promise to play them... ;)
