Mongrelfolk

Races of Destiny

  • +4 Constitution, –2 Intelligence, –4 Charisma: Mongrelfolk are hardy, but they lack proper education and others find their appearance repulsive or at least vaguely unsettling.
  • Humanoid (human): Mongrelfolk are humanoid creatures with the human subtype.
  • Medium: As Medium creatures, mongrelfolk have no
    special bonuses or penalties due to size.
  • Mongrelfolk base land speed is 30 feet.
  • Low-Light Vision: Mongrelfolk can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. They retain the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.
  • Emulate Race (Ex): Because of their radically mixed heritage, mongrelfolk can use magic items that only function for a user of a certain race. This ability works like the emulate race function of the Use Magic Device skill.
    A mongrelfolk can automatically emulate any humanoid race, with no need for a skill check. Mongrelfolk who have the Use Magic Device skill have a +4 racial bonus on attempts to emulate nonhumanoid races using that skill.
  • Sound Imitation (Ex): A mongrelfolk can mimic any voice or sound she has heard. Listeners must succeed on a DC 16 Will save to detect the ruse.
  • Immunity to sleep spells and similar magical effects.
  • Diffuse Blood: Mongrelfolk gain a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against any spell that targets a particular race or ignores a particular race, provided the selected race is part of their general ancestry (human, halfling, dwarf, elf, gnome, goblin, or orc).
  • +1 racial bonus on saving throws against enchantment spells or effects and illusion spells or effects.
  • +1 racial bonus on saving throws against poison.
  • +1 racial bonus on Acrobatics, Athletics, Perception and Search checks.
  • +4 racial bonus on Stealth and Sleight of Hand checks.
  • Automatic Language: Common.
  • Bonus Languages: Any.
  • Favored Class: Rogue. A multiclass mongrelfolk’s rogue class does not count when determining whether she takes an experience point penalty for multiclassing.
