[Black Plauge]

Races that need to be written up:
Dromite (XPH)
Duskling (MoI)
Gnoll (MM)
Goblin (MM)
Goliath (RoS)
Hobgoblin (MM)
Kuo-toa (MM)
Locathah (MM)

Sahuagin (MM)

Yuan-ti (MM & XPH)Japanese names


Mechanically each race should weigh-in at ECL 3 or 4 without any class levels. In the case of some races, I've used the racial levels published by Monte Cook and in Unerthed Arcana to set most of the mechanics in place for this. Those races have entries below which show these mechanics, but lack a cultural entry. Other races will need to have such modifications made to them.

I don't like half-races (like half-elves and half-orcs) or sub-races. As such, I'm not going to include them. This means that at least the halflings below needs to be modified or redone (as I didn't express this wish to the original author, and he created halfling sub-races). Also, for a similar reason, Aasimars, Azurins, and Teiflings are banned.

Banned Races:
Aasimar (MM)
Azurin (MoI)
Chaos Gnome (RoS)
Dream Dwarf (RoS)

Duregar (MM & XPH)

Something that isn’t stone but that is disguised as stone also counts as unusual stonework. A dwarf who merely comes within 20 feet of unusual stonework can make a Search check as if he were actively searching. A dwarf can also intuit depth, sensing his approximate depth underground as naturally as a human can sense which way is up, and which way is north underground (as if he had 5 ranks in Survival).
Weapon Familiarity: Dwarves may treat dwarven waraxes and dwarven urgoshes as martial weapons, rather than exotic weapons.

Human

+2 to any ability score. This ability score must be chosen at character creation and cannot be changed later.
Medium: as Medium creatures, humans have no special bonuses or penalties due to size.
Human base land speed is 30 feet.
A human begins play with three levels of humanoid. This grants them 3 HD, 3d8 hp (and rp), +2 BAB, +1 Fort save, +1 Ref save, and +3 Will save.
A human’s racial levels grant them two feats. They also get two bonus feats because humans are adaptive and quick to learn. They may select these two bonus feats from any they qualify for.
4 extra skill points at 1st level and 1 extra skill point at each additional level, since humans are versatile and capable.
A human’s racial levels grant them (4 + Int Modifier) x 3 skill points (does not include the extra skill point humans get at every level). A human can choose any 10 skills as racial skills on which to spend these skill points.
Adaptive Learning (Ex): A human can designate any one of his selected human class skills as an adaptive skill. This skill is treated as a class skill in all respects for all classes that character takes. For example, a human who chooses Spot as an adaptive skill can treat Spot as a class skill for all future class levels, even if it is not normally a class skill for those classes.
Apprentice Spellcaster (Ex): Humans who take a spellcasting class as their first class treat their caster level as two higher than normal. This ability does not affect their spells per day or spells known. It increases their caster level only, which would help them penetrate spell resistance and increase the duration and other effects of their spells that are dependant on caster level. This ability stacks with the Practiced Spellcaster feat (CAr), but the two bonuses together cannot raise the human’s caster level beyond their hit dice (i.e. a Human Wiz 1, 4 HD, who takes Practiced Spellcaster has a caster level of 4, not 6). If the character does not take a spellcasting class as their first class this ability has no effect. I could just make this ability apply to manifester level, soulshaper level, and initiator level instead of spellcaster level.
Automatic Language: Human. Bonus Languages: Any (barring secret languages), Humans mingle with all the other races, and thus can learn their languages.
Favored Class: Any

Ogre

+4 Str, +2 Con, -2 Int, -2 Wis. Ogres are big and strong, but their sense of entitlement tends to blind their thinking.
Medium: As Medium creatures, Ogres have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
Powerful Build: The physical stature of ogres lets them function in many ways as if they were one size category larger.
Whenever an ogre 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 ogre is treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to him.
An ogre 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 ogre 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.
