Dangerous and clever rodents from the Feywild, trained for combat in even the most grim of situations.
RACIAL TRAITS

Scamper Kercpa Racial Power
You dart amongst your enemies' feet. Where have you gone? They won't know until it's far too late.
At-Will
Standard Action - Personal
Effect: You shift up to 2 squares and may make a stealth check to hide if you have concealment.
Kercpa Characteristics: Kercpa are average-looking squirrels, except for their ability to communicate and reason. Their fur can range from grey to brown to black, with a generally lighter-colored underbelly. They are surprisingly deadly with their weapons, which appear as no more than sharp toothpicks and dolls' accessories to the untrained eye. They are a determined race which will fight ferociously for honor, food, or simply to fight.
Kercpa Nomenclature: Kercpa names and surnames are each a pair of clicks of the tongue, much like a chattering wild squirrel. These clicks vary in tone and length accordingly. Kercpa adventurers tend to take on a Common nickname for the benefit of their comrades.
Kercpa Adventurers: Kercpa are ambitious and aggressive creatures, and it is almost standard fare for them to find adventuring parties in search of a stealthy member.
Playing a Tiny Creature: As a tiny creature, you may occupy the same square as another creature. You cannot attack outside of your own space using melee. Up to three other Tiny creatures may occupy your space at the same time. You are only capable of carrying half of your body weight of equipment. Carrying anything larger than yourself will immediately make you over-encumbered. Normal weapons are almost impossible for a Tiny creature to operate, without a Hard Athletics or Acrobatics check.
Tiny Weapons/Equipment: As Tiny creatures cannot handle normal weapons, they are instead proficient at wielding Tiny weapons. Very few markets sell Tiny weapons, and they are often mistaken for toys. When wielded by someone in a size category other than Tiny, they are considered improvised weapons. Tiny armor and weapons can be made by a skilled artisan or created by use of a ritual to resize existing armor. Mundane tiny armor in the marketplace generally tends to cost less as it uses less material, but masterwork armor tends to cost more as it requires a detail-oriented jeweler as opposed to the blunt work of a smith. Tiny weapons do the same amount of damage as regular weapons when wielded by a Tiny creature.
