Flocking into densely populatedcities, tengus occasionally join adventuring groups outof curiosity or necessity. Their impulsive nature andstrange habits can often be unnerving to those who arenot used to them.Tieflings: Diverse and often despised by humanoidsociety, tief lings are mortals stained with the blood offiends. Other races rarely trust them, and this lack ofempathy usually causes tief lings to embrace the evil,depravity, and rage that seethe within their corruptblood. A select few see the struggle to smother such darkdesires as motivation for grand heroism.Undines: Like their cousins, the ifrits, oreads, andsylphs, undines are humans touched by planar elements.They are the scions of elemental water, equally gracefulboth on land and in water. Undines are adaptable andresistant to cold, and have an affinity for water magic.GENERAL DESCRIPTIONEach race’s entry begins with a general description of therace followed by specific entries for the race’s physicaldescription, society, relations with other races, alignmentand religion, and common motivations for adventuringmembers of the race.RACIAL TRAITSEach race’s entry features a sidebar listing the race’sstandard racial traits.

An archetype usually features athematic link to the race, granting it class features thatcomplement the abilities and the background of the race.Because adventurers are often societal outliers, sometimesthese archetypes feature a theme that is the exception to thenorm for racial tendencies.

65101522240232224023paizo.com #2112918, David McBride <darklycario@gmail.com>, Jun 23, 20126510156510152224023AasimarsAasimars are humans with a significant amount ofcelestial or other good outsider blood in their ancestry.While not always benevolent, aasimars are more inclinedtoward acts of kindness rather than evil, and they gravitatetoward faiths or organizations associated with celestials.Aasimar heritage can lie dormant for generations, onlyto appear suddenly in the child of two apparently humanparents. Most societies interpret aasimar births as goodomens, though it must be acknowledged that someaasimars take advantage of the reputation of their kind,brutally subverting the expectations of others with acts ofterrifying cruelty or abject venality. “It’s always the one youleast suspect” is the axiom these evil aasimars live by, andthey often lead double lives as upstanding citizens or falseheroes, keeping their corruption well hidden. Thankfully,these few are the exception and not the rule.Physical Description: Aasimars look mostly humanexcept for some minor physical trait that reveals theirunusual heritage. Typical aasimar features include hairthat shines like metal, jewel-toned eyes, lustrous skincolor, or even glowing, golden halos.Society: Aasimars cannot truly be said to have anindependent society of their own. As an offshoot of humanity,they adopt the societal norms around them, though mostfind themselves drawn to those elements of society thatwork for the redress of injustice and the assuagement ofsuffering. This sometimes puts them on the wrong sideof the law in more tyrannical societies, but aasimars canbe careful and cunning when necessary, able to put on adissembling guise to divert the attention of oppressorselsewhere. While corrupt aasimars may be loners or mayestablish secret societies to conceal their involvement incrime, righteous aasimars are often found congregating innumbers as part of good-aligned organizations, especially(though not always) churches and religious orders.Relations: Aasimars are most common and mostcomfortable in human communities. This is especiallytrue of those whose lineage is more distant and who bearonly faint marks of their heavenly ancestry. It is unclearwhy the touch of the celestial is felt so much more stronglyin humanity than other races, though it may be thathumanity’s inherent adaptability and affinity for changeis responsible for the evolution of aasimars as a distinctrace. Perhaps the endemic racial traits of other races aretoo deeply bred, too strongly present, and too resistantto change. Whatever dalliances other races may have hadwith the denizens of the upper planes, the progeny of suchcouplings are vanishingly rare and have never bred true.However, even if they generally tend toward humansocieties, aasimars can become comfortable in virtuallyany environment. They have an easy social grace and aredisarmingly personable. They get on well with half-elves,who share a similar not-quite-human marginal status,though their relations are often less cordial with halforcs,who have no patience for aasimars’ overly prettywords and faces. Elven courtiers sometimes dismissaasimars as unsophisticated, and criticize them forrelying on natural charm to overcome faux pas. Perhapsof all the known races, gnomes find aasimars mostfascinating, and have an intense appreciation for theirvaried appearances as well as the mystique surroundingtheir celestial heritage.Alignment and Religion: Aasimars are most often ofgood alignment, though this isn’t necessarily universal,and aasimars that have turned their back on righteousnessmay fall into an unfathomable abyss of depravity. For themost part, however, aasimars favor deities of honor, valor,protection, healing, and refuge, or simple and prosaic faithsof home, community, and family. Some also follow the pathsof art, music, and lore, finding truth and wisdom in beautyand learning.Adventurers: Aasimars frequently become adventurers, asthey often do not quite feel at home in human society and feelthe pull of some greater destiny. Clerics, oracles, and paladinsare most plentiful in their ranks, though bards, sorcerers,and summoners are not uncommon among those with afondness for arcane magic. Aasimar barbarians are rare, butwhen born into such tribes they often rise to leadership andencourage their clans to embrace celestial totems.Male Names: Aritian, Beltin, Cernan, Cronwier, Eran,Ilamin, Maudril, Okrin, Parant, Tural, Wyran, Zaigan.Female Names: Arken, Arsinoe, Davina, Drinma, Imesah,Masozi, Nijena, Niramour, Ondrea, Rhialla, Valtyra.ALTERNATE RACIAL TRAITSThe following racial traits may be selected instead ofexisting aasimar racial traits. Consult your GM beforeselecting any of these new options.Celestial Crusader: Some aasimars follow their destiny towar against the powers of ultimate evil. These individualsgain a +1 insight bonus on attack rolls and to AC againstevil outsiders and a +2 racial bonus on Knowledge (planes)and Spellcraft checks to identify evil outsiders or itemsor effects created by evil outsiders; they may use theseskills untrained for this purpose. This racial trait replacescelestial resistance and skilled.Deathless Spirit: Particularly strong-willed aasimarspossess celestial spirits capable of resisting the powersof death. They gain resistance 5 against negativeenergy damage. They do not lose hit points when theygain a negative level, and they gain a +2 racial bonuson saving throws against death effects, energy drain,negative energy, and spells or spell-like abilities of the84paizo.com #2112918, David McBride <darklycario@gmail.com>, Jun 23, 2012

Featured Races 2
Tengus: These crowlike humanoid scavengers excel in
mimicry and swordplay. Flocking into densely populated
cities, tengus occasionally join adventuring groups out
of curiosity or necessity. Their impulsive nature and
strange habits can often be unnerving to those who are
not used to them.
Tieflings: Diverse and often despised by humanoid
society, tief lings are mortals stained with the blood of
fiends. Other races rarely trust them, and this lack of
empathy usually causes tief lings to embrace the evil,
depravity, and rage that seethe within their corrupt
blood. A select few see the struggle to smother such dark
desires as motivation for grand heroism.
Undines: Like their cousins, the ifrits, oreads, and
sylphs, undines are humans touched by planar elements.
They are the scions of elemental water, equally graceful
both on land and in water. Undines are adaptable and
resistant to cold, and have an affinity for water magic.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Each race’s entry begins with a general description of the
race followed by specific entries for the race’s physical
description, society, relations with other races, alignment
and religion, and common motivations for adventuring
members of the race.
RACIAL TRAITS
Each race’s entry features a sidebar listing the race’s
standard racial traits. This information includes the
race’s type, size, vision, and base speed, as well as a
number of other traits common to most members of
the race. With your GM’s permission, you will also have
the option to exchange these standard racial traits for a
number of alternate racial traits, the rules for which are
provided in the section below.
ALTERNATE RACIAL TRAITS
Members of each race can swap standard racial traits
for the alternative racial traits listed in this section.
Each alternate racial trait lists which standard trait it
replaces. The full rules for swapping traits can be found
in Chapter 1: Core Races.
FAVORED CLASS OPTIONS
Each race can take the listed favored class options instead
of the normal favored class rewards (either +1 hp or +1
skill rank). The full rules for favored class options can be
found in Chapter 1: Core Races.
RACIAL ARCHETYPES
This section presents two archetypes for each of the
expanded races, with the exception of the kobold entry,
where both an archetype and a sorcerer bloodline are
presented. Typically, only members of the section’s race
can take the listed archetype or bloodline, though such
options rarely interact with the racial traits or alternate
racial traits of that race. An archetype usually features a
thematic link to the race, granting it class features that
complement the abilities and the background of the race.
Because adventurers are often societal outliers, sometimes
these archetypes feature a theme that is the exception to the
norm for racial tendencies. The class for each archetype or
bloodline is listed in parentheses.
Aasimars: Purifier (oracle), tranquil guardian (paladin)
Catfolk: Cat burglar (rogue), nimble guardian (monk)
Dhampirs: Cruoromancer (wizard), kinslayer (inquisitor)
Drow: Cavern sniper (fighter), demonic apostle (cleric)
Fetchlings: Dusk stalker (ranger), shadow caller
(summoner)
Goblins: Feral gnasher (barbarian), fire bomber (alchemist)
Hobgoblins: Fell rider (cavalier), ironskin monk (monk)
Ifrits: Immolator (inquisitor), wishcrafter (sorcerer)
Kobolds: Bushwhacker (gunslinger), kobold sorcerer
(sorcerer bloodline)
Orcs: Dirty fighter (fighter), scarred witch doctor
(witch)
Oreads: Shaitan binder (summoner), student of stone
(monk)
Ratfolk: Gulch gunner (gunslinger), plague bringer
(alchemist)
Sylphs: Sky druid (druid), wind listener (wizard)
Tengus: Shigenjo (oracle), swordmaster (rogue)
Tieflings: Fiend f layer (magus), fiendish vessel (cleric)
Undines: Undine adept (druid), watersinger (bard)
NEW RACIAL RULES
The final section of each race’s entry provides new rules
options for the race beyond archetypes, detailed in the
following four categories.
Equipment: The equipment section for each race
provides new rules for standard and alchemical
equipment available to the race.
Feats: This section provides a host of new racial feats
for members of this race. All of these feats have a race
listed in their prerequisites, so members of other races
cannot take them.
Magic Items: Magic items provided in this section are
often created and used exclusively by members of the
race. Some have effects that interact with racial traits, but
others have broader uses, and can be used by members of
other races.
Spells: The spells in this section are common to
spellcasting members of this race. Sometimes they only
target members of the race, but often they are just the
race’s well-guarded secrets; members of other races can
learn to cast them with the GM’s permission.
