Templates
- Eternian
- Eternians are Medium humanoids with the Eternian subtype.
- +2 Strength, +2 Constitution. Eternians are strong and tough.
- Eternian base land speed is 30 feet.
- All Eternians receive Improved Unarmed Strike as a bonus feat.
- Armor-born (Ex): Eternians practice sparring in bulky armor from a young age. This allows them to reduce some restrictions when wearing armor with which they are proficient:
- Armor check penalties are improved by +1 for medium armor and by +2 for heavy armor (to a minimum penalty of 0).
- An Eternian’s speed in medium armor is 25 feet instead of 20. She is not restricted from using the Tumble skill in medium armor.
- An Eternian’s speed in heavy armor is 20 feet, even for exotic armors that would normally further reduce her speed. She can run at full speed in heavy armor.
- Arcane spell failure is reduced by 5% for light armor, 10% for medium armor, and 20% for heavy armor (to a minimum of 0%).
- An Eternian takes no penalty for hastily donning armor. Effectively, she can put on her armor in the time it would take another character to don the same armor hastily.
- An Eternian who has the Endurance feat can sleep even in heavy armor without becoming fatigued.
- An Eternian cannot apply any of these benefits to armor with which she lacks proficiency.
- Battlewise (Ex): Eternians gain a +1 racial bonus to opposed bull rush, grapple, disarm, overrun, sunder, and trip checks.

- Cute (Ex): Etherians gain a +1 racial bonus on all Charisma-based skill checks and ability checks.
- Great Ally (Ex): Etherians work exceptionally well with their allies. When aiding another in combat or on a skill check, or when receiving that aid from an ally, an Etherian applies or gains a +4 bonus instead of the normal +2 bonus. Furthermore, an Etherian gains a +4 bonus on attack rolls against an opponent flanked by an ally (instead of the normal +2 bonus; this counts as having the Vexing Flanker feat).
- Misfortune (Ex): The plight of Etheria is a harsh one. Etherians suffer a −2 penalty to all saving throws.
Heroic Inspiration (Ex): An Etherian who witnesses a friend succeed in the face of adversity is inspired to great deeds himself. Any time an Etherian sees another ally succeed on a saving throw, the Etherian is inspired and gains a +5 racial bonus to the same save, and may make an immediate saving throw (of any type) against any one ongoing effect that affects him. (For example, an Etherian who sees his neighbor resist a sorcerer’s charm person spell would gain a +5 racial bonus to his own Will saves.) The bonus lasts for a number of rounds equal to his character level, up to a maximum of 10. Multiple racial bonuses to the same save do not stack.
The Etherian also receives a +2 morale bonus to his next attack roll, or a +2 morale bonus to the DC of his next spell cast, if that attack or spell targets the creature that originated the effect that triggered his Heroic Inspiration. This bonus only lasts one round or until discharged.

Martial weapons Size Cost Dmg (S) Dmg (M) Critical Range Weight Type Pick, light light 4 gp 1d3 1d4 20×4 — 3 lb. Piercing Pick, heavy one-handed 8 gp 1d4 1d6 20×4 — 6 lb. Piercing Exotic weapons Size Cost Dmg (S) Dmg (M) Critical Range Weight Type Pick, dire one-handed* 30 gp 1d6 1d8 20×4 — 12 lb. Piercing Pick, horseman’s two-handed 40 gp 1d6 1d8 20×4 — 15 lb. Piercing A dire pick is too large to use in one hand without special training (the appropriate Exotic Weapon Proficiency feat). A character can use a dire pick two-handed as a martial weapon. A horseman’s pick deals double damage when used from the back of a charging mount. While mounted, you can wield a horseman’s pick with one hand. It has reach, so you can strike opponents 10 feet away with it, but you can’t use it against an adjacent foe. You can use a horseman’s pick to make trip attacks. If you are tripped during your own trip attempt, you can drop the horseman’s pick to avoid being tripped. - Weapon Proficiency: Widgets receive the Martial Weapon Proficiency feats for the heavy pick and light pick as bonus feats. Widgets are born and bred miners, regardless of their actual profession, allowing them to easily wield these weapons.
- Weapon Familiarity: Widgets may treat the dire pick and horseman’s pick as martial weapons, rather than exotic weapons.
- Domains:
- Favored save: Fortitude
- Racial feats: Unearth the Vein
- Racial substitution levels: Widget Knight, Widget Sorcerer

- Low-light vision.

- Optonids are not native to the dimension of Eternia or Etheria and gain the Extraplanar subtype when not on their home plane.
- Darkvision out to 60 feet.
- Optonids do not sleep and are immune to sleep effects.
- Naturally Psionic: Optonids gain 1 bonus power point at 1st level. This benefit does not grant them the ability to manifest powers unless they gain that ability through another source, such as levels in a psionic class.
- Stability: Optonids are exceptionally stable due to their four legs. An optonid receives a +4 bonus on ability checks made to resist being bull rushed or tripped when standing on the ground (but not when climbing, flying, riding, or otherwise not standing firmly on the ground). Unlike other quadrupeds, optonids are not considered smaller for some jump checks. You didn’t even know about that rule.
- Optonids have large ears and wide round eyes which grant them a +4 racial bonus on Listen, Spot, and Search checks.
- Eyestalks (Ex): An optonid can extend or retract its eyestalks as a move action. The following benefits and drawbacks apply only when you extend your eyestalks:
- Movement speed is reduced by 50%.
- −2 penalty to AC vs. critical confirmation rolls against you.
- −2 penalty to saves against gaze attacks and any effect that causes the dazzled condition.
- The penalty to spot checks due to range is reduced by half (−1 penalty to spot checks per 20 ft. of distance).
- Precision damage (such as sneak attack) can be applied regardless of range, as long as the other conditions are met.
- The effects of Far Shot, Enlarge Power, and Enlarge Spell are doubled, if you have one of those feats.
- Psi-Like Abilities: at will—steadfast perception, 3/day—detect psionics, 1/day—psionic true seeing. Manifester level is equal to Hit Dice. Retracting your eyes ends the power.

- Domains:
- Favored save: Will

- Scorpionfolk base land speed is 30 feet.
- Low-light vision (Ex)
- Natural weapons: A scorpionfolk can attack with two claws and a stinger. The claws deal 1d3 points of damage and the stinger deals 1d4 plus poison (see below). During a round when it does not attack with any manufactured weapon, a scorpionfolk can choose to use either its claws or its tail as a primary natural weapon (but not both). A primary natural attack is made at a creature’s full base attack bonus and adds its Strength modifier to damage. A secondary natural attack is made at −5 and adds half the creature’s Strength modifier to damage.
- Poison (Ex): Sting, initial damage 1 Dex, secondary 1d4 Dex, save DC 13 + the scorpionfolk’s Con modifier. A scorpionfolk produces sufficient poison for 5 poisonous stings per day.
- A scorpionfolk gains Sandskimmer as a bonus feat, allowing it to treat shallow sand as normal terrain and deep sand as shallow sand.
- Natural Combatant: A scorpionfolk chooses either Improved Natural Attack (Claw) or Ability Focus (Sting) as a bonus feat.
- +5 natural armor
- Constricting grip (Ex): Anytime a scorpionfolk successfully uses a grapple check to do damage to an opponent, it gains a +2 bonus to the damage roll if it is not holding anything in its claws.
- A scorpionfolk gains a +2 racial bonus to Balance checks on any round it does not attempt a sting attack.
- −4 penalty to Sleight of Hand checks. Although a scorpionfolk’s claws can grasp and use most objects as easily as a human’s hands, they have trouble with fine manipulation.
- Scorpionfolk without class levels are proficient with their natural weapons only.
- Domains:
- Favored save: Reflex
- Racial substitution levels: Scorpionfolk Ranger
- Scorpionfolk Monster class progression
- Goblin
- Medium monster (goblinoid)
- +2 Constitution, −2 Dexterity
- Darkvision 60 ft.
- A goblin can hold his breath for a number of rounds equal to four times his Constitution score before he risks drowning.
- Heartless: Goblins have no heart. They are immune to fear, but cannot rage or frenzy, and cannot benefit from any morale bonus. They are immune to any effect that involves their heart or blood, such as avasculate, blood to water, burning blood, heart of stone, or the blood drain attack of a vampire. A goblin can be affected by Charm spells as normal, but his attitude only improves to Indifferent rather than Friendly, and he gains a +4 racial bonus to opposed charisma checks to avoid doing something out of the ordinary.
- Deathly pallor: The DC of a Treat Wound, Spot, Sense Motive, or other applicable check to determine whether a goblin is alive, dead, or undead is 10 higher than normal. This is considered a racial bonus.

- Resist cold 5, resist electricity 5, resist negative energy 5. (An undead goblin gains resist positive energy 5 instead.)
- Goblins gain a +4 racial bonus on Move Silently and Ride checks.
- Domains:

- Racial substitution levels: Goblin Favored Soul
- Ork
- Small humanoid (ork, incarnum)
- +2 Strength, −2 Wisdom.
- Unlike most Small humanoids, an ork’s base land speed is 30 feet.
- Powerful Build (Ex): The physical stature of orks lets them function in many ways as if they were one size category larger. Whenever an ork is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), the ork is treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to him. An ork is also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature’s special attacks based on size (such as improved grab or swallow whole) can affect him. An ork can use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty. However, his space and reach remain those of a creature of his actual size. The benefits of this racial trait stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that change the subject’s size category.
- Low-Light Vision: An ork can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. She retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.
- Eager: +2 racial bonus to Initiative checks.
- Weak Will: Orks suffer a −4 penalty to Will saving throws against Enchantment effects. For the purpose of Enchantment effects that affect only creatures with a certain number of hit dice (such as daze or sleep), an ork is treated as having two hit dice fewer than he actually has (minimum HD½).
- Hard Head: An ork gains a +2 racial bonus to Fortitude saving throws against any effect that would cause him to become stunned. In addition, an ork only remains stunned for half the normal duration (rounded up).
- Headlong charger: When charging, an ork gains an additional +2 bonus to his attack roll (or Strength check if the charge is combined with a bull rush attempt), but takes an additional −2 penalty to AC. This feature counts as having the Reckless Charge feat.
- Weapon proficiency: Orks are automatically proficient with the spiked helm, horned helm, and trident. When an ork enters an opponent’s space to attack with a spiked helm or horned helm, he gains a +2 dodge bonus to AC to avoid an attack of opportunity. This bonus increases to +4 if he is charging.
- An ork gains Azure Toughness as a bonus feat. This grants him an essentia pool with one point of essentia, which he can invest in this feat to gain 3 temporary hit points, or invest in another incarnum feature that he may gain from another feat or a meldshaping class.
- Domains:
- Favored save: Fortitude
- Racial feats: Dreadnought Resolve
- Racial substitution levels: Ork Warblade
- Troll
- Medium monster (goblinoid). Etherian Trolls look just like the bugbears or hobgoblins of traditional D&D.
- +4 Strength, −2 Intelligence, −2 Charisma.
- An troll’s base land speed is 30 feet.
- Darkvision out to 60 feet.
- Light Sensitivity: Trolls are dazzled in bright sunlight or within the radius of a daylight spell.
- Shadow Healing (Ex): A troll gains Fast Healing 1 in areas of shadowy illumination, or Fast Healing 2 in areas of complete darkness.
- Trolls have ravenous appetites, but can eat things that would disgust even a starving human. Trolls require three times as much food as a typical medium character each day. A troll recieves a +4 racial bonus to survival checks made to forage for food. This bonus does not apply if the troll is also foraging for food that is edible by non-trolls.
- Iron Guts (Ex): +4 racial bonus to fortitude saves to resist poisons, diseases (except supernatural and magical diseases), or any effect that would cause the troll to become nauseated. This bonus is doubled for poisons or diseases which are delivered via ingestion.
- Weapon familiarity: A troll who is proficient with shields may treat shields or spiked shields of that type as simple weapons. A troll can use shields designed for a creature one size larger without penalty.
- Domains:
- Favored save: Fortitude
- Racial feats: Shadow Mastery
- Racial substitution levels: Troll Crusader
- Trollan
- Trollans are aliens with the Trollan subtype. When not on Trolla, they gain the Extraplanar subtype.
- −4 Strength, −2 Constitution.
- Small size. As a Small creature, a Trollan gains a +1 size bonus to Armor Class, a +1 size bonus on attack rolls, and a +4 size bonus on Hide checks, but she uses smaller weapons than humans use, and his lifting and carrying limits are three-quarters of those of a Medium character.
- A Trollan’s base land speed is 10 feet.
- Flight (Su): When carrying no more than a light load, a Trollan can fly at a speed of 30 feet with perfect maneuverability.
- Spell-like Ability: at will — prestidigitation.
- Darkvision out to 60 feet.
- Truenamer: A Trollan gains a +1 racial bonus to the saving throw DC of spells with the language-dependent descriptor, as well as the spells
- blasphemy
- dictum
- holy word
- word of balance
- and word of chaos
- Trollans breathe, eat, and sleep. Unlike Immortals, an Alien can be raised, reincarnated, or resurrected just as other native creatures can be.
- Domains:
- Favored save: Will
- Racial feats: Dimension Slide
- Racial substitution levels: Trollan Necromancer, Trollan Warlock
- Firefolk
- Medium spirit (fire). The Fire People are humanoid fire elementals who live near the lava flows of the Region of Flame, as well as in volcanoes all around Eternia.
- +2 Intelligence, −2 Constitution, −2 Charisma
- A Firefolk’s base land speed is 30 feet.
- Firefolk have the fire subtype, granting them immunity to fire, but vulnerability to cold (+50% damage). In addition, ordinary water inflicts damage to a firefolk as if it were acid. Firefolk do not need to drink, and they are immune to any spell in the Thirst domain with the exception of energy drain.
- A firefolk cannot use any magic with the Cold or Water descriptors, but all firefolk gain Fiery Spell as a bonus feat.
- Favored Enemy (Ex): A firefolk gains a +2 bonus on Bluff, Listen, Sense Motive, Spot, and Survival checks when using these skills against any creature with the Cold subtype. Likewise, he gets a +2 bonus on weapon damage rolls against such creatures. This stacks with the Ranger ability of the same name.
- Heat (Ex): A firefolk’s body is intensely hot, so its unarmed attacks and melee attacks with a metallic non-reach weapon deal 1 point of extra fire damage.
- Body Glow (Ex): A firefolk naturally emits faint illumination as a candle, and takes a −4 penalty to Hide checks in areas of dark or shadowy illumination. A firefolk can negate this penalty by completely concealing his body as a move action (with a dark sheet or cloak, for instance), but he is considered blinded while so concealed.
- Body Lamp (Su): A firefolk can make his body glow at will, providing bright light out to 60 feet and shadowy illumination out to 120 feet. When doing so, he takes an additional −6 penalty to Hide checks in areas of dark or shadowy illumination.
- Immunity to critical hits. Though a firefolk’s body is solid and substantial, it is composed of the essence of fire rather than flesh and bone.
- Unlike most other living creatures, a spirit does not have a dual nature—its soul and body form one unit. When a spirit is slain, no soul is set loose. Spells that restore souls to their bodies, such as resurrection don’t work on a spirit. It takes a different magical effect, such as limited wish, reality revision, miracle, or true resurrection, to restore it to life.
- Racial hit dice: 2d6 (spirit: average BAB, good Reflex save, 4 skill points per hit die). A firefolk’s class skills are Knowledge (dungeoneering), Knowledge (magic), Listen, Move Silently, Search, Spot, and Swim*. *in lava only.

- Small fey (sprite).
- A twigget’s base land speed is 20 feet.

- Weapon Familiarity: Twiggets may treat boomerangs and nets as martial weapons rather than exotic weapons.
- Spell-like Abilities: A twigget may use speak with animals a number of times per day equal to his Charisma modifier (minimum 1). A twigget with a Charisma score of at least 10 also has the following spell-like abilities: 1/day—dancing lights, ghost sound, prestidigitation. Caster level 1st; save DC 10 + twigget’s Cha modifier + spell level.
- Forest Mobility (Ex): A twigget can move at full speed when sneaking around in jungle or forest terrain, taking no penalties to Hide or Move Silently checks due to normal movement. The penalties due to movement when running in these environments are reduced by one half.
- Spell resistance equal to 11 + total hit dice.
- Eternal Bronze Vulnerability (Su): Twiggets are especially vulnerable to weapons made of eternal bronze. Using an eternal bronze weapon to attack a twigget grants a +1 bonus to all damage rolls. Any time a twigget gains damage reduction from any source, that damage reduction is decreased by 4 (to a minimum of 0) when attacked with an eternal bronze weapon.
- Domains:
- Favored save: Reflex
- Racial feats: Forest Aegis, Forest Guardian
