[edit] Equans
Editor's Note: Sorry but there aren't many pictures out there that accurately show what this race looks like and this was one of the only ones I could find.

[edit] Interactions With Magic
For all their strength and reputation, Equans have terrible difficulty handling any arcane magic as they are touched by Obad-Hai with innate primal power. The affect of which is that Equans cannot use arcane magic whatsoever, on the other hand they are also immune to arcane magic.
- Cannot use magic at all. Any spell attempted by an Equan instantaneously fails.
- Immune to spells and spell like abilities.
- Use Magic Device checks instantly fail.
- Potions have no effect.
If a spell is cast upon an equan, then it immediately vanishes and is nullified, regardless of what kind of spell or spell like ability it is. A healing spell could be cast on an equan and it would be undone just like any other spell.
[edit] Fighting on Hard Surfaces
Equans have hooves for feet and are less maneuverable on hard surfaces. Therefore they are flat-footed when fighting on surfaces such as stone or harder. They also take a -3 to reflex saves and can only move 20 feet at maximum.

Plains and grassy flat-lands.
[edit] Religion
