Feralkin
Tag Skills: 3
Racial Traits: 1
Taint: Yes

The widely persecuted feralkin have a bloodline touched by a beast spirit. Feralkin tend to have some fairly obvious indicators of their heritage but make up for it in brute strength and physical prowess. The beast folk also have some natural resistances to magic.


Beast of Burden

Because of your massive hands and strong back, you have a greatly increased ability to carry things, which has only fed your nearly neurotic compulsion to hoard useless gear. Your carry weight is increased by 20 pounds, but all of the random equipment you've stuffed in your pockets and tied to your pack tend to make a lot of noise, so you suffer a 10 point penalty to your Sneak skill. This trait, like all Feralkin traits, will mark you as tainted by magic and will cause some people to react negatively to you.


Chameleon

You have the uncanny ability to adjust your skin color and blend in better to your surroundings. Because of this, you get 20 point bonus to your Sneak skill. Unfortunately, your skin is also frail and more susceptible to damage. Your armor class is reduced by 5 and your Crushing Resistance suffers a 5% penalty. This trait, like all feralkin traits, will mark you as tainted by magic and will cause some people to react negatively to you.


Eagle Eye

You have the eyes of an eagle, but unfortunately its lightweight bones as well. You receive a 15 point bonus to your Ranged Weapon skill, but your carrying capacity is reduced by 30 pounds. This trait, like all feralkin traits, will mark you as tainted by magic and will cause some people to react negatively to you.


Elephant Hide

Your skin is unusually calloused. Your pain threshold is higher (+1 to Slashing and Crushing damage thresholds), and you get a 5% bonus to your Slashing and Crushing resistances, but you suffer a -1 penalty to Agility and your Lockpick skill is reduced by 10 points. This trait, like all feralkin traits, will mark you as tainted by magic and will cause some people to react negatively to you.


Monkey Brains

A whimsical monkey spirit passed on an uncanny magical cleverness to your family. Add 5 points to your Speech, Find Traps/Secret Doors, and Lockpick skills, but your inability to control your primate mannerisms lowers your Barter skill by 10 points and your Ranged Weapons Skill by 5 points. This trait, like all feralkin traits, will mark you as tainted by magic and will cause some people to react negatively to you.


Rabid Fervor

In combat you rely on your bestial instincts. You gain +15 skill points in One-handed, Two-Handed and Unarmed combat skills and +5% to critical but you are -1 to Intelligence and -1 to Perception. This trait, like all feralkin traits, will mark you as tainted by magic and will cause some people to react negatively to you.


Regeneration

Your bestial heritage allows you to heal wounds relatively quickly. You receive a +2 to your healing rate. However, your metabolism cannot heal poison and disease as well, so you receive -15 to disease and poison resistances. This trait, like all feralkin traits, will mark you as tainted by magic and will cause some people to react negatively to you.


Serpent's Tongue

Snake spirits have coiled into your family line, entrenching themselves in your mannerisms and bodily defenses. Their cunning grants a 15 point bonus to your Speech skill, but your Acid, Fire and Electrical Resistances are decreased by 8% due to your skins odd spiritual makeup. This trait, like all feralkin traits, will mark you as tainted by magic and will cause some people to react negatively to you.


Tusks

Your otherwise human face is marred by a pair of eight-inch tusks, frequently making it difficult for others to understand you. Your Speech skill is reduced by 15 points, but when speech fails, you deal +2 damage in unarmed combat. This trait, like all Feralkin traits, will mark you as tainted by magic and will cause some people to react negatively to you.


Wolf Hide

You have a thick coat of fur covering your entire body. You gain +7 to Armor Class, and +5 resistance to Piercing and Slashing damage. However, your lupine features are very noticeable and lower your Charisma by -1. Your fur is also a haven for ticks and fleas, decreasing your resistance to disease by -7 and fire resistance by -5. This trait, like all feralkin traits, will mark you as tainted by magic and will cause some people to react negatively to you.
