Near Space & Ghorans


Rules Questions


Near Space added some lovely new info on the Ghoran Race and their homeworld, one such addition was the alternate racial option for 'Willower' Ghorans.

Normally Ghoran's have -2 Intelligence, +2 Charisma and either +2 Dex or +2 Con depending on whether they're a 'Sapling' or 'Oakling'. The new option though for 'Willowers' says that they "have an ability score adjustment of +2 Intelligence."

What does that mean? What, if anything is being replaced? Do Willower Ghorans;

A) Only have a +2 to intelligence and no other ability modifiers?

B) Have a +2 Int, -2 Int, +2 Cha & either +2 Dex or Con?

C) Have a +2 Int, +2 Cha & either +2 Dex or Con?

D) Have a +2 Int & either +2 Dex or Con?

E) Have a -2 Int, +2 Cha, +2 Int?

F) Have a +2 Int and +2 Cha?

To me it reads that there are now 3 options; Sapling, Oakling or Willower. So it's either +2 Dex, +2 con or +2 Int. However that means you've got -2 Int, +2 Cha and +2 Int.

Please help.

Willowers only get +2 Intelligence.

"These alternate ghorans have the listed ability scores and size,"
Though the pluralization is confusing, another hint is the stat blocks on other races list the new phenotype's stat modifiers completely, not partially requiring adding in something from another phenotype.


Yep, option A) is correct.
