As part of the "Knowledge and secrets" project (Which is partialy on my D20 projects wiki (http://d20toolbox.pbwiki.com/FrontPage).) I've been working on, I thought it'd be neat to have a race to go with it. Any feedback on it is welcome (that's why I'm posting it here after all.)
Janaguhya (Ja-na-goo-high-yah)
• +2 Int, -2 Str
• Small size. +1 bonus to Armor Class, +1 bonus on attack rolls, +4 bonus on Hide checks, -4 penalty on grapple checks, lifting and carrying limits 3/4 those of Medium characters.
• Janaguhya base movement speed is 20 feet.
• Big head. The critical strike range of any creature attacking a Jnaguhya is increased by 1.
• +4 racial bonus on saving throws against illusions.
• +4 bonus on speak language checks.
• +4 racial bonus to sense motive checks
• +2 morale bonus on saving throws against fear.
• +2 racial bonus to memory checks to see how long you maintain a bonus from books. (See Book rules in this book.)
• Dark vision 60 ft.
• Favored class: Wizard
Needs replacement for +2 bonus to 3 skills.
This is intended to be a +0 LA base class for players or as a NPC, though right now feels under balanced and is probably a -1 LA (Especially with the increase in crit range that the enemy gets). In terms of appearance it looks basically like the classic "little green/grey men" aliens, about 3'-4' tall with a large head. The name is based on two words from Sanskrit relating to knowledge: Jha (Knowledge) and Guyha (the most confidential). (I don't know Sanskrit, but I liked the sound).
Thanks!
