[edit] Races of Schicksals
For the most part changes to races will be found in the tables below, however there are a few changes not listed in the tables, please note that most races have been improved in some way shape or form.
[edit] Humans
Normal Human Humans are the most common race due to their relatively short life span they have become highly adaptable and fit into society with any of the common races, especially with Perungol and High-Elves. They fill the same basic roll as in the default campaign setting
Faroth Human Humans with the Faroth subtype both extremely rare and extremely long lived. They tend to live in forested and mountainous areas. Favored class male: druid, favored class female: ranger
[edit] Elves
unless otherwise noted the elven weapon proficiency with longswords and rapiers has been replaced with elven thin and lightblades (CW 154)
Aquatic Elf spell-like abilities are 1/day—create water and quick swim or pressure sphere. Age as high-Elves
Dark Elf (Drow) The dark-elf race of Schicksals is similar to the one that appears in the Monster Manual I except as noted in table 1.2 New and altered Races. (no LA, but spell-like abilities stay the same)
Half-Elf Half-Elves are no longer a race of their own, but rather an inherited template. The ages given in table 1.1: races of Schicksals are for a Half-High Elf Human. Half-Elves gain one spell-like ability of the Elf that they are based on
High-Elf Same as the default campaign race except that as long as they have a Charisma score of 12 or better they get the following spell like abilities 1/day—light, arcane mark and Prestidigitation
Gray Elf no change
True Elf An ancient civilization that is all but lost to the ages. Only scholars know anything for sure, and even then most is almost as exaggerated as bards tales. The sight of one is said to be a sign that the world is about to change drastically
Wild Elf Weapon proficiency replaces thinblade and lightblade with falchion and spell-like abilities are 3/day—dancing lights, touch of fatigue, ray of frost, acid splash or flair. Age as drow
Winged-Elf (Avrial) These Winged Elves are believed to be the descendants of Half-Celestial elves that bred with other Half-Celestial elves and eventually descended into a new sub race of elves. They have feathered wings and their spell-like abilities are replaced by Dancing Lights, Obscuring Mist and Wind Wall each usable once per day. they age as high-Elves (see table 1.2 for racial traits)
Wood Elf Weapon proficiency replaces thinblade with scimitar and lightblade with Kukri, and spell like abilities are 1/day—light or speak with animals or entangle. Age as Drow
for a Half-Elf Human. For details see table 1.2: half-racial templates of the realm of destiny
[edit] Half-giants
Same as in EPHB except lack fire acclamation and have no Level adjustment (it’s a template table is for a human half-giant)
[edit] Half-orcs
There is nothing new to add about half-orcs, exept that they are now a template that can be added to any humanoid except Orc.
[edit] Gnomes
Gnomes where the result of arcane experimentation by humans on themselves attempting to restore the prolonged life of their ancestral brethren: the Faroth. They have a special gift for the arcane arts and a love of misgif, they have adapted to living underground as well as on the surface. Functionally there is no difference between them here and any other campaign setting, except for 3 things, they replace speak with animals with message, choice to switch basic firearms to their martial weapon list, craft (alchemy) can be replaced with craft (firearms) and their favored class is either Bard or Sorcerer (player's choice).
[edit] Dwarfs
No change
[edit] Halflings
Less active, treat more as Hobits than typical D&D Halflings as far as personality, all racial traits are the same. They resent that they don’t live as long as they did as Faroth, but they take it in stride. Any Halfling that gains the martial weapon proficiency also gains point blank shot as a bonus feat.
[edit] Dragonborn
The distant decedents of true dragons, dragonborns resemble humanoids with many dragon traits such as scales, claws, and wings; for racial traits see table 1.3: new races
[edit] Perungol
The other result of arcane experimentation by humans on themselves attempting to restore the prolonged life of their ancestral brethren: the Faroth, was the Parungol (pair-OON-goal). These quadrupeds are more akin to Halflings than Humans. For traits see table 1.3: new races
