Xhesh: Formatted Zealot

You have always been a serious person. As a child, you took playing with a somber gravity and it greatly upset you when another child broke the rules. In your adolescence, you were often dismayed by the lackadaisical nature of your contemporaries. At some point along the way, you found a cause to which you dedicated your very soul. This transformation has led you to seek out a sacred order or deity to whom you have pledged your allegiance. You now strive to undertake acts of selflessness and zeal for the betterment of the world in accordance with the tenets of your faith.
You are undoubtedly dedicated to your beliefs with keen resolve. How do you approach those who do not share your convictions? Do you seek to persuade folk to adopt your tenets as their own, or do you try to learn the beliefs of other creatures and the reasons behind those beliefs? Maybe you engage in a mix of both approaches.

(ray-DEEN)

The ancient avadri have vestigial traces of power throughout the known universe. The world of Ancerra is rich with these slivers of power. Sometimes, under rare circumstances, this legacy manifests as a living humanoid entity, something between a magical artifact and a breathing biological person. These are the raedeen - sapient traces of powers long forgotten. Raedeen are often quiet and contemplative, in constant communion with slivers of avadri tech all around them. All raedeen, regardless of relationship with avadri tech, are driven by the need to protect. Whether that be their friends, a location, or a warped ideal, they remain steadfast due to remnants of a long-forgotten directive. Rarely will a raedeen place their own safety above that of others, and even more their friends.

A marriage between psionic technology and biological flesh, raedeen forms carry immense latent magical powers. They are born to any flesh-and-blood race, but are implanted with the vestiges of avadri technology. Some cultures, such as the Elves of the Plains, take these features as blessings, as they attune the raedeen to the dormant avadri technology across the planet. Others, however, view them in a more critical light, ostracizing raedeen due to the magical incidents that often happen around their uncontrolled powers. Their sensitivity to magic and excellent perception abilities lend them easily towards tracking or looting roles, but this also makes them incredibly susceptible to strong psionic attacks and psychic manipulation.

'''Raedeen Traits'''

'''Height:''' 6’ - 7’6”

'''Weight:''' 120 - 200 lbs.

'''Size:''' Medium

'''Base Speed:''' 20 ft

'''Appearance:''' Raedeen skin varies in a rainbow of colors, but is always marked with geometric areas of metallic iridescence and faint panel-line markings. This might look as subtle as a normal human visage with slight lines on the face and arms. Conversely, the physical tell might be wildly obvious, such as a kettek-like humanoid with horns, blue fur, and metallic plating.

'''Lifespan:''' Raedeen have slightly above the average lifespan of a human (roughly 80-110 years), regardless of their parent race. This often leads to tragedy if they are born to a longer-lived race such as elves, as they will age and die far sooner and faster than their parents.

=== Raedeen Features ===
'''Raedeen Starting Features'''

You gain all of the following at level 1.
{| class="wikitable"
|+
!Feature
!Description
|-
|'''Psionic Attunement'''
|Choose one manifestation of any Aptitude from the Psionic Source. You know that manifestation and it costs 0 SP for you. CHA is your magic attribute when using this feature.
|-
|'''Sublineage'''
|As raedeen mature, their forms adapt to best serve the raedeen’s personal quest of protection. Choose one sublineage below and gain bonus 1st level features based on your selection.
|}
'''Corrupted'''

Corrupted raedeen strive to protect ideologies, individuals, or organizations that are twisted reflections of what avadri once cherished. Creativity, power, and the ability to exert one’s will over the chaos around them always appealed to avadri, so a corrupted raedeen might be drawn to an iron-fisted dictator or a shortsighted pioneer trying to deforest a tract of land. corrupted raedeen have formed an outlook that, while reminiscent of their avadri ancestry, is actually near the opposite of what their ancestors might have wanted.
{| class="wikitable"
|+
!Feature
!Description
|-
|'''Razor Plating'''
|Your raedeen plating is razor sharp. Your dominant hand grows a retractable blade that can be used as a weapon with the stats of a Scimitar or a Shortsword (your choice).
|-
|'''Blood is Fuel'''
|You may spend 1 AP to consume any source of fresh blood other than your own, provided that such a source is within 5 ft of you. (No attack roll is required, but you are limited to targeting corpses, Bloodied creatures, or creatures with the Bleeding condition). Doing so grants you TA on all attacks until the end of your next turn as you are fueled by blood. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your CHA, regaining all expended uses when you Recoup.
|}
'''Dreamer'''

Long before the first sapient life developed on Ancerra, hyper-advanced avadri fell into eons-long dream cycles where they imagined new realities and contemplated the great philosophies of the universe. Dreaming raedeen follow in the footsteps of these avadri. They excel at problem-solving and manifest psionic abilities that they can use to protect their allies and harry their foes.
{| class="wikitable"

!Feature

|-
|'''Advanced Analytics'''
|Your mechanical mind processes data at an advanced pace. Whenever you make a check to see through magical illusions, gain +4 to the check.
|-
|'''Pierce Soul'''
|Your gaze is enough to shatter even the most steadfast mental defense. Whenever you make an attack roll against a creature targeting one of their Mental Defenses, you may give yourself +4 to the attack. You may use this feature twice, regaining all expended uses when you Take a Rest.
|}
'''Paragon'''

Paragon raedeen hold more nuanced views of power, creativity, and control than their corrupted kin. They seek to exemplify the delicate balance of all three, as the paragon avadri did in the days of old. For some, this means seeking out authoritarian rulers and punishing them for irresponsible use of power. Other raedeen seek quieter lives, spending their days perfecting beautiful artisanal crafts, songs, or dances.

|-
|'''Magical Resonance'''
|Your raedeen plating resonates with magical energies. Choose one type of elemental damage. When damage of that type hits you, you may spend 1 reactive AP to gain Affinity with that damage. You retain this Affinity for 1 minute. You may use this feature once, regaining all expended uses when you Take a Rest.
|-
|'''Efficient Biotech'''
|Your internal organs operate more efficiently than normal beings, drawing directly from magic to sustain you. You no longer require food or drink to sustain yourself and are immune to food-based diseases. You still need to breathe.

|Your biotechnical makeup allows you not only to passively consume ambient magic for nutrients, but steal it from magical attacks directed at you. When an enemy within 10 ft of you casts a spell or activates a magical effect that would damage you and no other targets, you may spend 2 reactive AP to make a CHA roll against their WILL. On a success, you negate the damage and instead regain 1d6 HP. The creature still loses its AP, but not any associated SP or rechargeable resources.

|-
|'''Paragon Attunement II'''
|Paragon Attunement
|(1/Rest) Gain the Paragon Detection ability.
Paragon Detection: You may spend 30 seconds to meditate and immediately identify the location and direction of movement of a specific magical caster you are familiar with, provided that the creature is within 10 miles of you.

|-
|'''Tireless Soul'''
|
|You no longer physiologically require sleep. You must still rest your mind, however, to avoid the psychological effects of exhaustion. 4 hours of quiet meditation is sufficient for you to Take a Rest, but you cannot Take a Rest more than once per 24 hours as usual.

Remnant

2023-11-15T03:17:30Z

Xhesh: Finished the final Column

Long before sapient creatures began building their civilizations, ancient and long-forgotten deities sculpted Ancerra. Their tools were powerful machinations of magic and technology, shaping and maintaining Ancerra’s storied terrain. Eons later, shards of these tools lay forgotten, abandoned by their original purpose. Now with the advent of widespread magic, sometimes these shards, these remnants, find themselves awake and with memories that blur and blend together. These wandering souls seek out an esoteric something, whether that be a master or true freedom. Most cannot describe it in words of any mortal tongue. Remnants are highly empathic, and often sensitive to the emotional energies of the people they surround themselves with.

=== BUILT WITH PURPOSE ===
Not every tool must be a weapon. Remnants can be the remains of anything: an ecological manipulation device, an arcane observatory, a dimensional gateway, etc. Their forms, though humanoid, are varied; however, they always share the sharp geometric patterns and bismuth-like formations of stone that make up their body. Remnants have personalities as varied as any other lineage, but they all possess an existential desire to be useful. Whether that translates to overthrowing tyrants or creating toys for children, remnants believe that all living beings are designed to compliment one another in a grand, cosmic symbiosis. Remnants find it abhorrent when sapient creatures act in a selfish manner.

=== '''Remnant Traits''' ===
'''Height:''' 4’0” - 7’0”

'''Weight:'''150 - 500 lbs

'''Size:''' Medium

'''Base Speed:''' 20 ft

'''Appearance:''' Remnants generally have a bright metallic sheen and while some are monochrome, many sparkle with iridescent colors. It is possible to see light shining from within many of their joints.

'''Lifespan:''' Remnants can live almost indefinitely, provided that they can get whatever sustenance their bodies need.

=== Remnant Features ===
'''Remnant Starting Features'''

You gain all of the following at level 1.

|-
|'''Armored Form'''
|You cannot wear Armor, but your base AR begins at 12. You can integrate armor into your form by spending at least one hour disassembling it and customizing it to your form. Armor integrated in this way grants all its magical bonuses, but none of the AR. You can only integrate one suit of armor at a time; if you want to integrate a new set of armor, you must first eject your current form of armor. Ejected armor regains all of its original properties and provides no benefit to you unless you integrate it again.
|-
|'''Constructed Form'''
|You do not need to eat or drink, but must still breathe and sleep.
|-
|'''Unique Ability'''
|To further define your Remnant, choose one option from the list below at level 1.

|-
|'''Darkvision'''
|
|You can see in darkness to a limit, even without any light source. You cannot discern color while using your darkvision. While using darkvision, you can see up to 30 ft, and then are blind beyond that point.
|-
|'''Divinity Code'''
|
|Learn two prayers of your choice from the Divine Source. These prayers count as psionic magic for you, and CHA is your magic attribute for these prayers.
|-
|'''Enhanced Armor'''
|
|''Repeatable.'' Your Armor Rating increases by +2.
|-
|'''Illuminate'''
|
|By spending 1 AP, you can shed bright light for up to a 20 ft radius from yourself, and dim light for double that distance. Alternatively, you can choose to shine only dim light up to a 20 ft radius. This light remains until you decide to spend an additional 1 AP to end it.
|-
|'''Manufacturer'''
|
|You may cast the Minor Conjuration cantrip from the Arcane Source, but it counts as psionic for you when cast in this way.
|-
|'''Programmed Appraisal'''
|
|''Repeatable.'' Gain +6 Skill Points that you can spend on any skills with the Observation tag. You cannot put more than +4 into a single skill using this feature.

|'''Programmed Athleticism'''
|
|''Repeatable.'' Gain +6 Skill Points that you can spend on any skills with the Athleticism or Stamina tags. You cannot put more than +4 into a single skill using this feature.
|-
|'''Tireless Sentinel'''
|
|You no longer physiologically require sleep. You must still rest your mind, however, to avoid the psychological effects of fatigue. 4 hours of quiet meditation is sufficient for you to Take a Rest, but you cannot Rest more than once per 24 hours as usual.
|-
|'''Tool Manifestation'''
|
|''Repeatable.'' Choose a tool or kit. You can produce that tool or kit from within yourself at will, but when you do, that tool or kit is considered a part of your body and can only be used by you. Gain +4 to all checks made with tools and kits that are a part of you.
|-
|'''Warm'''
|Illuminate
|By augmenting the heat produced by your advanced technological body, you may emit warmth akin to that of a campfire in a 10 ft radius around you. You may only do this when you Catch your Breath, Recoup, or Take a Rest. Creatures within the radius who are not wet do not need to make END checks against the effects of extreme cold.
|-
|'''Weapon Manifestation'''
|
|Choose a weapon with the one-handed tag. You manifest that weapon out of the material within your own body. You cannot throw the weapon, even if it has the thrown tag, and you cannot be disarmed of this weapon unless your dominant arm is severed.
|-
|'''Weapon Manifestation II'''
|Weapon Manifestation
|The weapon that you manifest can have the hand-and-a-half tag. You may use it with one hand, or temporarily fuse your hands together to gain its hand-and-a-half benefit.

Satyr

2023-11-15T03:15:46Z

Xhesh: Created the page for Satyr Lineage

Satyrs are somewhat rare humanoids originally hailing from the Everwilds but now long established on Ancerra. Although they generally resemble olive-skinned humans, they bear a number of distinctly goat-like features including hooves, fur-covered legs and waists, tails, ears, and horns. Fur and hair colors have a range that matches human hair and goat fur. Some satyrs also have more unique hair and fur color akin to spring flowers: pastel pinks, greens, or blues. Satyr eyes tend to have brighter complexions than those naturally seen in humans. With a well-earned reputation for lightheartedness, whimsy, and merriment, satyrs are known for their large personalities and ability to command the rowdiest of crowds. They rarely fear being the center of attention and make for excellent entertainers, performers, and charlatans with their natural abilities to put people at ease.

=== Satyr Culture ===
With a culture that draws much from their roots in the Everwilds, particularly the side that borders on the realm of Chaos, satyrs seemingly find every day a holiday in one form or another. Food and drink are shared freely and it is rare for a satyr to accumulate wealth as they genuinely believe any day living is a day worth celebrating. They rarely concern themselves with a lasting legacy beyond the memories shared with friends and family and even satyr funerals can be a joyous occasion.

=== '''Satyr Traits''' ===
'''Height:''' 4’2” - 5’8”

'''Weight:''' 80 - 180 lbs

'''Size:''' Medium

'''Base Speed:''' 20 ft

'''Appearance:''' Aside from their goatlike features, satyrs visually resemble humans.

'''Lifespan:''' Satyrs reach maturity around age 16 and naturally live about 100-120 years.

Long before sapient creatures began building their civilizations, ancient and long-forgotten deities sculpted Ancerra. Their tools were powerful machinations of magic and technology, shaping and maintaining Ancerra’s storied terrain. Eons later, shards of these tools lay forgotten, abandoned by their original purpose. Now with the advent of widespread magic, sometimes these shards, these remnants, find themselves awake and with memories that blur and blend together. These wandering souls seek out an esoteric something, whether that be a master or true freedom. Most cannot describe it in words of any mortal tongue. Remnants are highly empathic, and often sensitive to the emotional energies of the people they surround themselves with.

=== BUILT WITH PURPOSE ===
Not every tool must be a weapon. Remnants can be the remains of anything: an ecological manipulation device, an arcane observatory, a dimensional gateway, etc. Their forms, though humanoid, are varied; however, they always share the sharp geometric patterns and bismuth-like formations of stone that make up their body. Remnants have personalities as varied as any other lineage, but they all possess an existential desire to be useful. Whether that translates to overthrowing tyrants or creating toys for children, remnants believe that all living beings are designed to compliment one another in a grand, cosmic symbiosis. Remnants find it abhorrent when sapient creatures act in a selfish manner.

=== '''Remnant Traits''' ===
'''Height:''' 4’0” - 7’0”

'''Weight:'''150 - 500 lbs

'''Size:''' Medium

'''Base Speed:''' 20 ft

'''Appearance:''' Remnants generally have a bright metallic sheen and while some are monochrome, many sparkle with iridescent colors. It is possible to see light shining from within many of their joints.

'''Lifespan:''' Remnants can live almost indefinitely, provided that they can get whatever sustenance their bodies need.

=== Remnant Features ===
'''Remnant Starting Features'''

You gain all of the following at level 1.

|-
|'''Armored Form'''
|You cannot wear Armor, but your base AR begins at 12. You can integrate armor into your form by spending at least one hour disassembling it and customizing it to your form. Armor integrated in this way grants all its magical bonuses, but none of the AR. You can only integrate one suit of armor at a time; if you want to integrate a new set of armor, you must first eject your current form of armor. Ejected armor regains all of its original properties and provides no benefit to you unless you integrate it again.
|-
|'''Constructed Form'''
|You do not need to eat or drink, but must still breathe and sleep.
