Mycelian Race

Still under construction.

Mycelians appear much like waxy gnomes, each with a mushroom-like cap covering the top of their head like a fungal helmet. Any textures, pigments or patterns they possess, vary between individuals of their kind.

Mycelian Racial Traits (10 RP)

–2 Strength, +2 Constitution, +2 Wisdom: Mycelians are hardy and wise, but lack physical power.

Humanoid (Vegitatious): Mycelians are humanoids with the vegitatious subtype. They breathe as plants do.

Small: Mycelians are Small creatures and gain a +1 size bonus to their AC, a +1 size bonus on attack rolls, a –1 penalty to their Combat Maneuver Bonus and Combat Maneuver Defense, and a +4 size bonus on Stealth checks.

Slow Speed: Mycelians have a base speed of 20 feet. (–1 RP)

Low-Light Vision: Mycelians can see twice as far as a race with normal vision in conditions of dim light. (1 RP)

Darkvision: Mycelians can see perfectly in the dark up to 60 feet. (2 RP)

Light Sensitivity: Mycelians are dazzled while they remain in an area of bright light. (–1 RP)

Mycelial Scent: Mycelians have a natural ability to sniff out sources of death and decay. This functions like the scent ability, but only for decaying vegetable matter, excrement, rotting flesh, corpses and badly wounded creatures (creatures with 25% or fewer hit points). (1 RP)

Flammable: Mycelians in true form have vulnerability to fire. (–1 RP)

Vegitatious Resilience: Mycelians gain a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against mind-affecting effects, paralysis, poison, polymorph, sleep effects, and stunning. In addition, they need only half the standard amount of sleep to function normally. (2 RP)

Mycelial Metabolism: Mycelians gain a +2 racial bonus on Fortitude saving throws against sickness, nausea and disease. They also reduce any nonlethal damage they take from any form of cold exposure by 2 (minimum 0). (1 RP)

Mycelial Toxicity (Ex): A living mycelian in true form can apply 1 dose of its toxic saliva (or blood when injured) to a weapon it wields as a swift action. Such a dose loses its potency after 1 hour. Each round at the end of its turn, a living creature with a mycelian swallowed whole in true form, automatically ingests 1 dose of that mycelian's toxic saliva and blood. A typical mycelian has a toxin dose capacity of 6 + its Constitution modifier. The first hour one rests following its last moment of strenuous activity, cannot apply to the cumulative sum of 7 hours it must rest to refill that capacity. Note: Creatures with the vegitatious subtype are immune to mycelian toxin. (2 RP)
