Vanaras
Vanaras are intelligent, monkeylike humanoids that live
in deep, warm forests and lush jungles. A vanara’s body
is covered in a thin coat of soft fur, and individuals with
chestnut, ivory, and even golden coats are common. Despite
their fur, vanaras can grow lengthy hair on their head just as
humans can, and both male and female vanaras take pains
to wear elaborate hairstyles for important social functions.
The hair on a vanara’s head matches the color of its fur. All
vanaras have long, prehensile tails and handlike feet capable
of well-articulated movements. A vanara stands slightly
shorter and weighs slightly less than a typical human.
ALTERNATE RACIAL TRAITS
The following racial traits may be selected instead of
existing vanara racial traits. Consult your GM before
selecting any of these new options.
Tree Stranger: Some vanaras
have spent their lives
among humans in centers
of learning instead of
traditional treetop homes.
These vanaras treat all
Knowledge skills as class
skills, but lose their climb
speed racial trait.
Whitecape: The rare whitecape vanara clans have more in
common with savanna-dwelling baboons than the jungledwelling
monkeys that most vanaras resemble. Their
stooping build grants them a +4 racial bonus to CMD when
resisting a bull rush or trip. These vanaras usually have a
thick mane of hair on the head and shoulders (called a “cape”)
and shorter tails. This racial trait replaces prehensile tail.
FAVORED CLASS OPTIONS
The following options are available to all vanaras who
have the listed favored class, and unless otherwise
stated, the bonus applies each time you select the favored
class reward.
Alchemist: Add +1/2 to the alchemist’s bomb damage.
Druid: Add a +1/2 bonus on wild empathy checks and a
+1/2 bonus on Handle Animal skill checks.
Fighter: Add +1 to the fighter’s CMD when resisting a
reposition or trip attempt.
Monk: Add a +1 bonus on Acrobatics checks made to
jump.
Ranger: Add +1/4 dodge bonus to Armor Class against
the ranger’s favored enemies.
Rogue: The rogue gains 1/6 of a new rogue talent.
RACIAL ARCHETYPES
The following racial archetype is available to vanaras.
Treetop Monk (Monk)
While many vanaras follow traditional monastic training
and traditions, others learn to blend exotic combat and the
mysterious forces of ki with the natural world, allowing them
to move through trees and overgrowth to deliver devastating
attacks. A treetop monk has the following class features.
Branch Runner (Ex): At 3rd level, a treetop monk adds
half the base speed bonus from his fast movement ability
to his racial climb speed. This ability replaces still mind.
Vanara Racial Traits
+2 Dexterity, +2 Wisdom, –2 Charisma. Vanaras are agile and insightful, but
are also rather mischievous.
Vanara: Vanaras are humanoids with the vanara subtype.
Medium: Vanaras are Medium creatures and have no bonuses or penalties due to
their size.
Normal Speed: Vanaras have a base speed of 30 feet and a Climb speed of 30 feet.
Low-Light Vision: A vanara can see twice as far as a human in dim light.
Nimble: Vanaras have a +2 racial bonus on Acrobatics and Stealth checks.
Prehensile Tail: A vanara has a long, flexible tail that she can use to carry objects. She cannot
wield weapons with her tail, but the tail allows her to retrieve a small, stowed object carried on
her person as a swift action.
Languages: Vanaras begin play speaking Common and Vanaran. Vanaras with high
Intelligence scores can choose from the following: Aklo, Celestial, Elven, Gnome, Goblin,
and Sylvan.
