Well, I finally got the new Terry pratchett, and my mind started wandering...
The Igor
Priced throughout the world as assistants for all manners of wizards, artificers, alchemists and craftsmen, the igors are a curious people. Even though they themselves claim to be not at all special, few would deny that they are, in fact, quite strange: their bodies are often partially stitched together from parts "salvaged" from other humanoids, making them look rather "homely". They have a strange gift of always appearing out of doorways or from behind furniture when called, which they claim is merely preparedness. And, finally, they are very gifted healer, able to safe mortally wounded men with their needle and thread.
Igors posess the following racial traits:
+2 Dex, +2 Int, -2 Cha. Igors have quick minds and fingers, but others are rarely at ease around them.
Size and Type: Medium Living Construct
An Igor's base land speed is 30 ft.
Racial Skills: Igors have a +4 racial bonus on all heal, craft and move silently checks.
Special Attacks:
Yeth, Mathter? (sp): Once a day, an Igor can move up to 50 feet, as by the spell dimension door, but only to a location which is not directly observed by any creature at the time.
Stitching: (ex) Once per day, an Igor can repair itself an amount of damage equal to twice it's hit dice. This ability requires one minute of undisturbed work. Optionally, the igor can use the corpse of any humanoid, monstrous humanoid, fey, giant or native outsider of small to large size in the process, which doubles the amount of damage healed and enables the igor to restore any lost limbs as long as the corpse had these limbs.
Assistant: Whenever an Igor uses the aid another action to help someone with a craft or heal check, the bonus provided by a successful action is increased to +4.
Special Qualities: Light Forticifaction, electricity resistance 5.
Favored Class: Artificer
Automatic Languages: Common. Bonus Languages: Giant, Goblin, Dwarven, Sylvan
LA: +1
So, I'm not entirely sure on the balance, but do you people think that LA+1 is okay, or should it be +2, perhaps with some more boni added?
