The Ouphes
Update log:
14/7/14: Augur Witch archetype, feats, random weight and height, oh my!
12/7/14: Retooled traits.
9/7/14: PICTURES! Also added the Prowler Ranger archetype for Ouphes.
8/7/14: Posted - nerfed some traits already. Nerfed some more.
It is widely known that Goblins tend to live short, brutish lives and the few who manage to reach teen years usually only grow more vicious and belligerent with time.
However, not all Goblins suffer this fate. Some Goblins give into their more curious nature and seclude themselves from society, seeking solace from their restive homes. Usually, this does not happen purposefully - perhaps the Goblin became lost on her way home after a raid and decided to linger in a particularly lush grove; perhaps another Goblin found an extraordinarily interesting object while scavenging and became transfixed with fascination for the bauble.
Whichever the reason, this time spent in solitude can trigger a developmental shift in the Goblin, especially in mental terms. A notable change is that the Goblin will become more engaged in quiet, introspective tasks. Maybe the Goblin begins carving ornate bone instruments instead of scavenging for her crockery; maybe the Goblin decides she would like to learn to appreciate all the different smells around her den.
After some time of such activities, the last stage of the transformation takes place. The Goblin finally becomes what is known as an Ouphe when she consciously believes to be different from what she once was. Her senses and focus become much sharper. Physical changes occur too - because Ouphes tend to be more sedentary, they lose some of the natural fleetness of Goblins, but they are much heartier.
Nevertheless, it must be noted that Ouphes do share many traits with Goblins. It is not uncommon for Ouphes to be obssessed with fire and to distrust the written word. Ouphes tend to be much more surly and agelast than Goblins too.
It may be possible that the metamorphosis into an Ouphe might be a magical process in-built into Goblins, posing many questions about the actual origins of the troublesome race.

Physical Description
Ouphes are not much larger than 4 feet tall. They keep several goblin-like traits - fanged mouths, oversized ears, musky skin colors -, but their heads appear to be more proportionate to their bodies, although their noses might still be too large. They have hairless heads and beady red or yellow eyes. Their fingers and toes are claw-like - optimal for carving or climbing.
Society
Ouphes are not prone to live communal lives as they usually foster discontent from their earlier experiences as Goblins. Because Ouphes can only give birth to Goblins, they also eschew familiar lives altogether. However, the children of Ouphes tend to be much wiser and smarter than regular Goblins, so some patient Ouphes chose to take up an active parenthood.
Unlike Goblins, Ouphes will not eat another sapient being even if the food supply dwindles. But much like Goblins, they have no qualms of feeding on carrion, regardless of its origin. If calamity befalls on another Ouphe, it is considered custom to eat the flesh of the slain brother or sister and craft a memento out of its bones.
As a matter of fact, Ouphes are quite interested in manufactured products, particularly if they are created from scratch by a single craftsperson - perhaps out of bone, wood or another simple material. For this reason, Ouphes tend to naturally gather to display their creations. They are much more enthusiastic about learning the techniques used to create said items than they are about actually purchasing that item.
When taking part in any sort of community, Ouphes will be very individualistic and they will strive to maintain as much personal liberty as possible. Any restrictions imposed on them will be met with scorn or mocking defiance. They will only abide by norms if it is evidenced that doing so is of utmost necessity. In this aspect, Ouphes tend to be very pragmatic - if the circumstances that lead to a norm to be adopted change, they will be quick to do away with the obsolete norm rather than carry on with tradition.
Hermits are most common with Ouphes. While some take ascetic lives, others choose to meld into their environments and become skillful poachers.
Relations
The Ouphes' intimacy with Goblinkind makes their relations with their cousins complicated - sometimes they grow to despise goblinoids, sometimes they grow to appreciate the positive aspects of their race, such as their independence, curiosity or honesty. They do loathe any race that holds an indiscriminate grudge on Goblins as they consider these races to have a superiority complex.
Curiously, Ouphes tend to get along with Gnomes that learn to distinguish them from regular Goblins. Gnomes enjoy watching the surly Ouphes react to their pranks, and Ouphes enjoy getting back at the offenders.
Regardless of race, Ouphes will be most interested in forging relations with any craftperson patient enough to teach them new tricks.
Aligment and Religion
Ouphes are introspective and fiercely independent. They are commonly anarchic and disinterested with morality. They may revere bones, fire, wood and stone in an animistic fashion. They gravitate towards Neutral, Chaotic and Evil alignments.
Adventurers
Ouphe adventurers are not common - they tend to take an abode and live sedentary lives. Most of them spend their lives without making contact with any single person.
Nevertheless, an Ouphe may take to the road in search for materials or techniques that may help it perfect its craftsmanship, undergoing yearlong quests to create an item that they have envisioned.
Some Ouphes make the decision to leave their dens thinking that embarking on a journey is the next natural step of their transformation from Goblins. These Ouphes are keen to see the world through new eyes.
Ouphe adventurers are inclined to use self-made weapons and armor, preferably out of materials that allow them to create these from scratch - like bone, leather and wood. Ouphes also favor the use of arson, traps and stealth to overcome stronger foes.

Ancient Mystery: Observant Ouphes find that their metamorphosis has affected the way their body reacts to its inner magic. Ouphe Sorcerers of the Impossible bloodline and Ouphe Oracles of the Time Mystery with this trait use their Wisdom, rather than their Charisma, to determine all class features and effects relating to their sorcerer class, such as bonus spells per day, maximum spell level they can cast, and the save DCs of their spells.

Racial Archetypes
The following racial archetypes are available to Ouphes:
Augur (Witch)
The augur is an archetype of the witch class, available to Ouphe witches.
An augur scavenges corpses to unlock the mysteries hidden in their bones. Using clever traps and brutal prowess to slay their enemies, the augur makes sure to add more bones to its collection.
Scapulimancy
At 1st level, an augur forms a bond with all kinds of bones. As she gains power, her patron speaks clearer and clearer through the skeletal remains of other creatures. Rather than communing with a familiar to prepare spells each day, an augur heats a large bone or a pile of small bones, and as she sees them consumed by the fire, she unlocks mystic visions.
An augur gains a mojo pool with points equal to 1/2 her witch level + her Intelligence modifier (minimum 1 mojo point). The augur may spend these points to imbue a bone charm with a hex as a standard action. The charm remains imbued for 8 hours and loses its power if the augur is farther than 1 mile of the charm.
An augur may spend a move action to laugh maniacally and activate the charm, delivering a hex to any target that shares a square with the charm. This counts as casting a hex yourself on that target. You gain a +2 circumstance bonus on that Hex's DC.
Bone charms may be placed on unsuspecting creatures (through Sleight of Hand), prepared as traps on the ground (through Craft ), given to gullible people or thrown at an enemy as though as they were improvised ranged weapons.
To imbue a bone charm with a Hex, you must spend 1 mojo point. To imbue a bone charm with a Major Hex, you must spend 3 mojo points. To imbue a bone charm with a Grand Hex, you must spend 5 mojo points. Mojo points are replenished after the augur takes an 8 hour rest.
This ability otherwise functions like and replaces the standard witch familiar.
Rattling Bones
An augur fashions herself with many charms that function as mystic wards. At level 2, 5, 8, 11 and 14, the augur gains a mystic juju.
Once per day, as a swift action, the augur may activate her mystic jujus to gain a bonus. This bonus lasts until switched to another.
The possible bonus are:
Hex Ward: +2 channel resistance per mystic juju.
Juju Ward: +1 insight bonus on saves against death effects, disease, poison, paralysis and sleep per mystic juju.
Rattling Ward: +1 initiative per mystic juju.
Skeletal Ward: DR +1/bludgeoning per mystic juju.
This replaces the 2nd level patron spell learned by the augur.
Prowler (Ranger)
The prowler is an archetype of the ranger class, available to Ouphe rangers.
Prowlers stalk for their prey under cover of darkness to strike with bestial ruthlessness. Their heightened nocturnal senses allows them to ravage unsuspecting foes.
Night Hunter
At 3rd level, a prowler gains a +2 bonus on initiative checks and Knowledge (nature), Perception, Stealth, and Survival skill checks during night-time while outdoors. A prowler traveling during that time normally leaves no trail and cannot be tracked (though he may leave a trail if he so chooses). These bonuses remain during twilight or eclipses and similar events that obscure sunlight. This bonus is halved during night-time in other planes.
At 6th level, these bonus apply in darkness while indoors but the bonus are halved. (While indoors during night-time in another plane, the prowler only receives 1/4 of the bonus with a minimum of +1.)
At 8th level and every five levels thereafter, these bonus increase by +2.
Night Hunter replaces Favored Terrain and night-time counts as the ranger's favored terrain.
Lurker
At 12th level, the prowler learns to hunt prey like a nocturnal predator. The prowler gains see in darkness and pounce abilities.
This replaces Camouflage.
Hide in Twilight
While outdoors and during night-time, a prowler of 17th level or higher can use the Stealth skill even while being observed.
This replaces Hide in Plain Sight.
Master Predator
At 20th level, the prowler becomes less than a blur while fighting in darkness. While in darkness, a prowler is never surprised or flat-footed and her location and thoughts cannot be detected by any means.
Additionally, whenever an opponent is considered flat-footed, the prowler gains a +4 circumstance bonus to Intimidate checks to demoralize the opponent. A flat-footed opponent successfully demoralized this way gets a -1d4 morale penalty to all saves for 1 minute. (This effect does not stack with itself.)
This replaces Master Hunter.
Racial Feats
The following feats are available to an Ouphe character who meets the prerequisites.
Backhanded Opportunist: [Prerequisites: Ouphe, base attack bonus +2, Improved Dirty Trick feat] You are always ready to surprise enemies with a low blow. You may perform a dirty trick combat maneuver in place of an attack of opportunity and you gain a +2 circumstance bonus to CMB when doing so.

Whenever someone fails a Bluff check against the Ouphe or fails to affect the Ouphe with an Illusion spell, ychoose to activate your rage class ability for 1 round. This round of rage does not count toward the total number of rounds which you can rage each day, but if you wish to continue your rage beyond that single round you must expend rounds from your daily rage allotment as normal. Once you use this feat you must wait at least 1 minute after you cease raging before you can use it again.
Femur Fighter: [Prerequisites: Ouphe, base attack bonus +1] As long as you have a bone-carved weapon, you'll keep on swinging. You may wield bone weapons or bone-shafted weapons with the broken condition as though as they were unbroken improvised weapons.

The augur is an archetype of the witch class, available to Ouphe witches.

To imbue a bone charm with a Hex, you must spend 1 mojo point. To imbue a bone charm with a Major Hex, you must spend 3 mojo points. To imbue a bone charm with a Grand Hex, you must spend 5 mojo points. Mojo points are replenished after the augur takes an 8 hour rest.
This ability otherwise functions like and replaces the standard witch familiar.
Rattling Bones
An augur fashions herself with many charms that function as mystic wards. At level 2, 5, 8, 11 and 14, the augur gains a mystic juju.
Once per day, as a swift action, the augur may activate her mystic jujus to gain a bonus. This bonus lasts until switched to another.
The possible bonus are:
Hex Ward: +2 channel resistance per mystic juju.
Juju Ward: +1 insight bonus on saves against death effects, disease, poison, paralysis and sleep per mystic juju.
Rattling Ward: +1 initiative per mystic juju.
Skeletal Ward: DR +1/bludgeoning per mystic juju.
This replaces the 2nd level patron spell learned by the augur.
Prowler (Ranger)
The prowler is an archetype of the ranger class, available to Ouphe rangers.
Prowlers stalk for their prey under cover of darkness to strike with bestial ruthlessness. Their heightened nocturnal senses allows them to ravage unsuspecting foes.
Night Hunter
At 3rd level, a prowler gains a +2 bonus on initiative checks and Knowledge (nature), Perception, Stealth, and Survival skill checks during night-time while outdoors. A prowler traveling during that time normally leaves no trail and cannot be tracked (though he may leave a trail if he so chooses). These bonuses remain during twilight or eclipses and similar events that obscure sunlight. This bonus is halved during night-time in other planes.
At 6th level, these bonus apply in darkness while indoors but the bonus are halved. (While indoors during night-time in another plane, the prowler only receives 1/4 of the bonus with a minimum of +1.)
At 8th level and every five levels thereafter, these bonus increase by +2.
Night Hunter replaces Favored Terrain and night-time counts as the ranger's favored terrain.
Lurker
At 12th level, the prowler learns to hunt prey like a nocturnal predator. The prowler gains see in darkness and pounce abilities.
This replaces Camouflage.
Hide in Twilight
While outdoors and during night-time, a prowler of 17th level or higher can use the Stealth skill even while being observed.
This replaces Hide in Plain Sight.
Master Predator
At 20th level, the prowler becomes less than a blur while fighting in darkness. While in darkness, a prowler is never surprised or flat-footed and her location and thoughts cannot be detected by any means.
Additionally, whenever an opponent is considered flat-footed, the prowler gains a +4 circumstance bonus to Intimidate checks to demoralize the opponent. A flat-footed opponent successfully demoralized this way gets a -1d4 morale penalty to all saves for 1 minute. (This effect does not stack with itself.)
This replaces Master Hunter.
