INHERITOR
Descendants of the judged
-All mortal life is subject to judgement upon death, each subject to their own fate. Some, however, find their way back to contact with the living before they achieve the pinnacle of their sentence. When such occurs, sometimes an Inheritor is created. Born of the union between the living, and the deceased, Inheritors are living beings sentenced for the activities of their forbearers. To some, it is in their favor and they are blessed by the higher planes. Others, are contended to the lower planes from birth.
-Physical Description: While all inheritors follow the same basic frame, that of their typically human mortal forbearers, each verity comes with their own assortment of traits. From the inscribed inheritors, which are pale and born with markings upon their very flesh, to the maggot inheritors, which possess sharp teeth and a completion akin to that of a maggot.
-Society and Relations: Inheritors, being born of unions between mortals and those judged in the next life, lack any true society of their own. Those born and raised on the planes of their petitioner forbearers are subject to the environments and societies there. On the material plane, those born of the higher planes tend to be received similarly to aasimar, where as those born of the lower planes tend to be received more similarly to tieflings.
-Alignment and Religion: Inheritors are born with an inclination towards the alignment of their petitioner ancestor. To those who hail from petitioner consigned to a particular patron's domain, they also possess an inclination towards the faith of their petitioner ancestor. That having been said, inheritors are perfectly capable of drifting from these inclinations, and may in time even become entirely contrary to their ancestor's form. Such individuals face peril, for their souls may not find their way to their intended fate and instead be lost forever.

INHERITOR RACIAL TRAITS
+2 Constitution: While Inheritors come in a menagerie of forms, all are exceptionally durable.
Medium: Inheritors are medium creatures and receive no bonuses or penalties due to their size.
Native Outsider: Inheritors are outsiders of the native subtype.
Normal Speed: Inheritors have a base land speed of 30ft.
Darkvision: Inheritors can see perfectly in the dark for up to 60ft.
Sentenced: While inheritors posses a mortal parent, and as such are themselves native outsiders, there is a consequence of their existence. For the purpose of effects that specifically effect petitioners also effect inheritors, treating them as petitioners native to the plane their petitioner forbearer is from. Additionally, inheritors are considered to already have been judged. Inheritors who die have a 100% chance, -25% per step they are away from the alignment of their petitioner forbearer, of being sent directly to the plane of their petitioner forbearer. The souls of those not sent to the domain of their forbearer, or consigned to another plane by another effect, are treated as that of non-native outsiders.
Subrace: Inheritors aren't one race, but rather a collection of races resulting from varying ancestries. As such, an inheritor upon creation selects one of the following options based on their petitioner ancestry and acquires its associated racial traits;
-Chosen-Born (Liberated): Liberated Inheritors possess +2 Charisma, Cold Resistance 5, and Fire Resistance 5. Liberated Inheritors add Celestial and Infernal to their list of bonus languages.
-Cleansed-Born (Enlightened): Enlightened Inheritors possess +2 Wisdom, Cold Resistance 5, and Sonic Resistance 5. Enlightened Inheritors add Celestial and Infernal to their list of bonus languages.
-Damned-Born (Tormented): Tormented Inheritors possess an additional +2 Constitution, and Pseudo-Fire Resistance 10. This functions identically to standard fire resistance except 10 points of fire damage taken is instead taken as non-lethal damage instead of simply being subtracted from the total. Tormented Inheritors add Celestial and Infernal to their list of bonus languages.
-Dead-Born (Gaunt): Gaunt Inheritors possess DR 1/bludgeoning and Cold Resistance 10.
-Elect-Born (Ascendant): Ascendant Inheritors possess a fly speed equal to 20ft. (poor mobility). Ascendant Inheritors add Celestial and Infernal to their list of bonus languages.
-Hunted-Born (Prey): Prey Inheritors possess DR 1/- and heal an additional point per character level from natural healing derived from rest. Prey Inheritors add Abyssal and Infernal to their list of bonus languages.
-Larvae-Born (Maggot): Maggot Inheritors possess Cold Resistance 5, Electricity Resistance 5, and Fire Resistance 5. Maggot Inheritors can take Abyssal as a bonus language. Maggot Inheritors add Abyssal and Celestial to their list of bonus languages.
-Remade-Born (Inscribed): Inscribed Inheritors possess +2 Intelligence and +5 to saves vs hostile transmutation effects.
-Shapeless-Born (Mercurial): Mercurial Inheritors interact with incorporeal creatures and objects as if they themselves were incorporeal. Mercurial Inheritors, in spite of this, are themselves corporeal. Mercurial Inheritors can take Protean as a bonus language.
Languages: Inheritors begin play speaking Common. Inheritors with high intelligence scores can choose from the following; Draconic, Dwarves, Elven, Gnome, Goblin, Halfling, and Orc. Inheritors also may have additional possible bonus languages based on their sub race.
Now we have stats. Consider them a work in progress. Im sure the race needs tweaks, both as a whole and between individual sub races.
