[h2]New Races: Aasimar and Tiefling[/h2]

[h2]Planetouched[/h2]
Planetouched is a general word to describe someone who can trace his or her bloodline back to an outsider, usually a fiend or celestial.

The effects of having a supernatural being in one’s heritage last for many generations. Although not as dramatically altered as a half-celestial or a half-fiend, planetouched still retain some special qualities.

Aasimar and tiefling are the most common planetouched varieties. Aasimars are humans with some trace of celestial blood in their veins, and tieflings have some fiendishness in their family tree.

[h3]Added 2 powerful races with level adjustment: Catfolk and Hobgoblin[/h3]

Powerful Races and Level Adjustments
Some races are more powerful than normal races. These races have a racial trait called level adjustment.

When create a powerful race character, add the level adjustment to the character level to get the effective character level, i.e. character level + level adjustment = effective character level.

When level up the character, use the effective character level to determine the experience points needed. Therefore, the character requires more experience points to level up than a normal character. In other words, powerful race characters level up more slowly than normal characters.

Powerful race characters still use the actual character level to determine other stats, such as hit points, skill points, gaining feats, etc.

Generally speaking, a powerful race character cannot be added to an adventure party as an initial character. Only a high enough level adventure party can recruit powerful race characters.



[h3]Added detailed background descriptions (Physical Description, Society, Relations, Alignment and Religion, Adventurers, Names, etc.) for following races:[/h3]

[h2]10 New Spells:[/h2]

[h3]Iron Body[/h3]
This spell transforms your body into living iron, which grants you several powerful resistances and abilities.

You gain:
- Damage reduction 1/adamantine per caster level.
- Immunity to critical hits, electricity, poison, ability score damage, stunning, blindness, deafness, disease, and all spells or attacks that affect your physiology or respiration.
- Take only half damage from acid and fire of all kinds.
- +6 enhancement bonus to Str, -6 penalty to Dex (min. 1).
- Considered armed when making unarmed attacks and deal 1d6 damage (1d4 for Small characters).

But meanwhile you suffer:
- Half speed.
- Arcane spell failure chance of 50%, -8 armor check penalty.
- Special attacks that affect iron golems affect you, too.
- Can't use potions.


[h3]Mind Fog[/h3]
Mind fog produces a bank of thin mist that weakens the mental resistance of those caught in it.

Creatures in the mind fog take a -10 competence penalty on Wis checks and Will saves. A creature that successfully saves against the fog is not affected and need not make further saves.

Affected creatures take the penalty as long as they remain in the fog and for 2d6 rounds thereafter.

The fog is thin and does not significantly hamper vision.


[h3]Mind Blank[/h3]
The subject is protected from all mind-affecting spells and effects.


[h3]Bestow Curse[/h3]
You place a curse on the subject.

Choose one of the following effects:
* -6 decrease to an ability score (min. 1).
* -4 penalty on attack rolls, saves, ability checks, and skill checks.
* Each turn, the target has a 50% chance to act normally; otherwise, it takes no action.


[h3]Remove Curse[/h3]
Remove curse instantaneously removes all curses on a creature.


[h3]Ghoul Touch[/h3]
Imbuing you with negative energy, this spell allows you to paralyze a single living humanoid for the duration of the spell with a successful melee touch attack.

Additionally, the paralyzed subject exudes a carrion stench that causes all living creatures (except you) in a 10-foot-radius spread to become sickened (Fortitude negates). A neutralize poison spell removes the effect from a sickened creature, and creatures immune to poison are unaffected by the stench.


[h3]Remove Paralysis[/h3]
You can free one or more creatures from the effects of any temporary paralysis or related magic, including a ghoul's touch or a slow spell.

If the spell is cast on one creature, the paralysis is negated.

If cast on two creatures, each receives another save with a +4 resistance bonus against the effect that afflicts it.

If cast on three or four creatures, each receives another save with a +2 resistance bonus.


[h3]Flesh to Stone[/h3]
The subject, along with all its carried gear, turns into a mindless, inert statue.

If the statue resulting from this spell is broken or damaged, the subject (if ever returned to its original state) has similar damage or deformities.

Only creatures made of flesh are affected by this spell.


[h3]Stone to Flesh[/h3]
This spell restores a petrified creature to its normal state. The creature must make a DC 15 Fortitude save to survive the process.


[h3]Neutralize Poison[/h3]
Detoxify any sort of venom in the creature touched. The target suffers no additional effects from the poison, and any temporary effects are ended.

The target is immune to any poison during the duration of the spell. It need not make any saves against poison effects applied to it.

The spell does not reverse instantaneous effects, such as hit point damage, temporary ability damage, or effects that don't go away on their own.
