Genasi
Summary: Genasi are humans who have elemental blood, granting them powers and traits beyond those of their human ancestors. There are four types of genasi, each corresponding to a type of elemental. The origins of the genasi are unclear, perhaps they are the offspring of efreet or other djinn, or maybe they are the result of a ancient experiment by a mad archmage. This last theory is supported by the only common trait of the four types of genasi: they each have glowing runes and symbols tattooed upon them from birth. These symbols are the sign of the genasi birthright and seem to have a link to the element the genasi is bound to, as each of the four types have different runes.
Air Genasi
Personality
Air genasi are fickle and capricious, often changing sides mid-argument or outright quitting a conversation halfway through. They almost never keep their word, more often than not they abandon what they promised to do for something that looks more fun almost as soon as they promise it. Above all air genasi hate being forced to do anything, often going out of their way to break any promise they were forced into.
Air genasi often spend their days wandering aimlessly or beginning random pieces of art and then abandoning them for something else, very easily bored. Air genasi like to travel and find new places, but usually return home once they get bored of walking. Many air genasi take up adventuring for the thrill, but only a few keep it up for more than a few days.
Physical Description
Air genasi are the most human-like of the genasi, differentiated only by their ice blue eyes and quickly whitening hair, which seems to have a perpetual breeze running through it. They tend to be on the lighter built side and weigh less than most would expect.
Relations
Air genasi get along well with gnomes, halflings and half-elves but don't like dwarves, considering them sticks in the mud.
Alignment
Air genasi are almost always chaotic, although a few neutral air genasi exist they are considered eccentrics by others and lawful air genasi are simply impossible. On the good/evil axis air genasi tend towards neutral but a few choose good or evil, although evil air genasi are rarer than good ones.
Lands
Air genasi feel most at home in the mountains or other places the wind flows freely but their adventuresome nature means that they can be found almost any where, although they don't like valleys and would never choose to live underground. Air genasi enjoy the hustle and bustle of city life and despise small towns, considering them boring and uninteresting, although a few find the unpolluted air of the country worth the boredom.
Religion
Air genesi rarely worship any particular god, although they pay respects to many when they need luck.
Language
Air genasi pick up a surprising amount of languages in their travels, often knowing languages from lands they have never even been to. Air genasi love to taunt those they dislike with their mastery of language, insulting them in tongues only a dedicated scholar would know.
Names
Air genasi have human names, but often choose their own, using flowing syllables and avoiding harsh letters.

Earth Genasi
Personality
Earth genasi are taciturn and stubborn, never breaking a promise once its been made and are as slow to change their mind as the earth itself. Earth genasi are slow to anger, ignoring insults and threats as though nothing had happened, when they are angered however, they are more terrifying than any earthquake, often beating the offender half to death.
Earth genasi prefer simple, boring lives to excitement and danger, often working as miners or farmers in small, peaceful towns.

Lands

A few choose live in deserts but they are considered strange by other earth genasi as most of them don't trust un-solid ground. (Note: Earth genasi that live in deserts cannot use their Earth's Endurance while standing on metal but can use it while standing on sand, similarly they take the penalty from Feet on the Ground while standing on metal but not while standing on sand.)
Religion
Earth genasi for the most part don't pay much attention to religion, but those that do worship the gods of law and order, particularly Moradin and St. Cuthbert.

Fire genasi enjoy art and music, often going for days without eating or sleeping while they work on a painting or song. Like air genasi they like the fast pace of city life and quickly grow bored with the country. Their lives are often completely consumed by their current obsession, they spend their days completing one project and starting the next, rarely stopping except to recover from the lack of sleep and food. Many fire genasi pursue careers as adventurers, enjoying the thrills and challenges that such a lifestyle presents, those that do find their talents well-suited for such a life, particularly their innate sorcerous talent.

Relations
Fire genasi get along with almost all races fairly well, although few can truthfully claim to have any idea what goes on in the head of a fire genasi, of all the races fire genasi get along with elves and humans the best, as they have a spark of inner fire within them, and dwarves the least as they interpret the fire genasi's unrelenting focus as unnatural.
Alignment
Fire genasi are always chaotic, fire genasi simply cannot be lawful or neutral due to their rash and impulsive personalities, and they tend towards the extreme alignments as their inner fire leaves little room for indecision.
Lands

Religion
Fire genasi worship gods of art, inspiration and music, although they generally don't pay to much attention to them except when they're waiting for inspiration to strike.

Water genasi rarely speak unless they have something important to say, often fading into the background for long periods of time then suddenly returning to the present.
Water genasi live lives of quiet seclusion and meditation, pondering and observing the state of the universe. They avoid even small towns, only visiting civilization when they have no choice.

Water genasi have pale greenish-blue skin and and greenish eyes and hair. Their other distinguishing feature is their webbed fingers and toes and vestigial gills.

Lands

Tortle (Tortoise Folk)
Summary: Tortoise folk are a race of tortoise-humanoids that have various traits depending on their heritage.
Personality
Tortoise folk vary widely based on their lineage. Some are very stoic and kind, acting as fishermen and traders along coastal areas. Others are extremely aggressive and launch deadly raids against settlements for food and gold.
Physical Description
Simply put, tortoise folk are appropriately named because they look like tortoise-humanoids. Depending on their lineage they will have different patterns on their shells and different colors of skin. The list below details some well-known tribes of tortoise folk.
Bloodshell Raiders: A merciless group of coastal raiders that have crimson shells and a dark grey-brown skin. Their shells are extremely spiky and they have mouths shaped like a much more jagged and sharp beak than other tortoise folk.
Chelonians: The peaceful chelonian merchants are commonly found along tropical coasts. They have bright azure shells with ivory spirals on each scale. Their skin is grey and mottled with dark blue spots.
Lapos: A common name given to a scattering of tortoise folk that are found inland. They usually have dark green shells with green skin. Their faces sometimes have brightly colored markings and their shells intricate patterns.
Relations
Along coastal regions, depending on their lineage, tortoise folk are often at least known by people and respected. Areas afflicted by particularly bloodthirsty tortoise folk may greet them with hostility, but more often, they are treated as foreign traders: never quite trusted by society, but not feared.
Alignment
Tortoise folk can be of any alignment although they tend towards neutrality.
Lands
Tortoise folk prefer warmer climates, but they can be found in small groups anywhere that humans can be found. Very few large groups of tortoise folk exist because they are often killed before they reach adulthood.
Names
Tortoise folk get a draconic name through a naming ceremony that happens once they reach adulthood. Until then, they are expected to wander the world, learning skills that will prove valuable to their people. Often during their travels, they are given a name by the people they encounter (ranging from a real name from people of that culture to simply "turtle"). Away from their people, they often use this "outsider name", reserving their real name as a privilege for tortoise folk only.
Racial Traits
-2 Dexterity, +2 Constitution: Tortoise folk are slow to act, but exceptionally tough.
Type: Humanoid (Subtype: Reptillian)
Size: Medium: As medium creatures, tortoise folk get no special penalties or bonuses due to their size.
Tortoise folk base land speed is 20 feet.
Tortoise folk have a +1 natural armor bonus.
Ageless Constitution (Ex): Tortoise folk do not receive penalties to their Constitution score due to aging. They still receive the normal penalties to their Strength and Dexterity scores.
Tortoise gain Endurance as a bonus feat.
Tortoise folk can pick any two of the following abilities:
Aggressive: The tortoise gains +2 Strength, but -2 Intelligence.
Aquatic: The tortoise gains the Subtype: Aquatic subtype and a swim speed of 30 feet. The tortoise can now move through water without making swim checks. It has a +8 racial bonus on any swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on a swim check, even if it is distracted. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line. Unlike normal aquatic creatures, it still breathes air, but it can hold its breath for a number of rounds equal to 4x its constitution score.
Natural Intuition: The tortoise gains +2 Wisdom, but another -2 Dexterity.
Snapper: The tortoise has a natural bite attack that deals 1d6 + strength modifier damage.
Sturdy Build: The tortoise can move at its full speed even when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load (unlike other creatures, whose speed is reduced in such situations). It also gains 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).
Tough Shell: The tortoise has a +3 natural armor bonus instead of a +1 natural armor bonus.

Description
Warforged appear as massive humanoids molded from a composite of materials - obsidian, iron, stone, darkwood, silver, and organic material - though they move with a surprising grace and flexibility. Flexible plates connected by fibrous bundles make up the body of a warforged, topped by a mostly featureless head.
Warforged have no physical distinction of gender; all of them have a basically muscular, sexless body shape. In personality, some warforged seem more masculine or feminine, but different people might judge the same warforged in different ways. The warforged themselves seem unconcerned with matters of gender. They do not age naturally, though their bodies do decay slowly even as their minds improve through learning and experience.
Unique among constructs, warforged have learned to modify their bodies through magic and training. Many warforged are adorned with heavier metal plates than those their creator originally endowed them with. This customized armor, built-in weaponry, and other enhancements to their physical form help to differentiate one warforged from another.
Racial Traits
Living Construct Subtype (Ex): Warforged are constructs with the living construct subtype. A living construct is a created being given sentience and free will through powerful and complex creation enchantments. Warforged are living constructs that combine aspects of both constructs and living creatures, as detailed below.
Features: As a living construct, a warforged has the following features.
- A warforged derives its Hit Dice, base attack bonus progression, saving throws, and skill points from the class it selects.
- Traits: A warforged possesses the following traits.
- Unlike other constructs, a warforged has a Constitution score. low-light vision or darkvision and a warforged is not immune to mind-affecting spells and abilities.
- Immunity to poison, sleep effects, paralysis, disease, nausea, fatigue, exhaustion, effects that cause the sickened condition, and energy drain.
- A warforged cannot heal lethal damage naturally.
- Unlike other constructs, warforged are subject to critical hits, nonlethal damage, stunning, ability damage, ability drain, and death effects or necromancy effects.
- As living constructs, warforged can be affected by spells that target living creatures as well as by those that target constructs. Damage dealt to a warforged can be healed by a cure light wounds spell or a repair light damage spell, for example, and a warforged is vulnerable to disable construct and harm. However, spells from the healing subschool and supernatural abilities that cure hit point damage or ability damage provide only half their normal effect to a warforged.
- The unusual physical construction of warforged makes them vulnerable to certain spells and effects that normally don't affect living creatures. A warforged takes damage from heat metal and chill metal as if he were wearing metal armor. Likewise, a warforged is affected by repel metal or stone as if he were wearing metal armor. A warforged is repelled by repel wood. The iron in the body of a warforged makes him vulnerable to rusting grasp. The creature takes 2d6 points of damage from the spell (Reflex half; save DC 14 + caster's ability modifier). A warforged takes the same damage from a rust monster's touch (Reflex DC 17 half). Spells such as stone to flesh, stone shape, warp wood, and wood shape affect objects only, and thus cannot be used on the stone and wood parts of a warforged.
- A warforged responds slightly differently from other living creatures when reduced to 0 hit points. A warforged with 0 hit points is disabled, just like a living creature. He can only take a single move action or standard action in each round, but strenuous activity does not risk further injury. When his hit points are less than 0 and greater than —10, a warforged is inert. He is unconscious and helpless, and he cannot perform any actions. However, an inert warforged does not lose additional hit points unless more damage is dealt to him, as with a living creature that is stable.
- As a living construct, a warforged can be raised or resurrected.
- A warforged does not need to eat, sleep, or breathe, but he can still benefit from the effects of consumable spells and magic items such as hero's feast or potions.
- Although living constructs do not need to sleep, a warforged wizard must rest for 8 hours before preparing spells.
+2 Constitution, -2 Wisdom, -2 Charisma: Warforged are resilient and powerful, but their difficulty in relating to other creatures makes them seem aloof or even hostile.
Medium: As Medium constructs, warforged have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
Warforged base land speed is 30 feet.
Composite Plating: The plating used to build a warforged provides a +2 armor bonus. This plating is not natural armor and does not stack with other effects that give an armor bonus (other than natural armor). This composite plating occupies the same space on the body as a suit of armor or a robe, and thus a warforged cannot wear armor or magic robes. Warforged can be enchanted just as armor can be. The character must be present for the entire time it takes to enchant him. Composite plating also provides a warforged with a 5% arcane spell failure chance, similar to the penalty for wearing light armor. Any class ability that allows a warforged to ignore the arcane spell failure chance for light armor lets him ignore this penalty as well.
Light Fortification (Ex): When a critical hit or sneak attack is scored on a warforged, there is a 25% chance that the critical hit or sneak attack is negated and damage is instead rolled normally.
A warforged has a natural weapon in the form of a slam attack that deals 1d4 points of damage.
Automatic Languages: Common. Bonus Languages: None.
Favored Class: Fighter. A multiclass warforged's fighter class does not count when determining whether he takes an experience point penalty for multiclassing.
