Hello me and my friend were browsing through a bunch of old npcs for a 3.5 game and we found a stormborn gatecrasher and for some reason a lot of information on 3e sources is really hard to find on the internet does anyone know what book stormborn originates in?

We managed to find the gatecrasher prc however.

Would anyone also happen to know other good race / class / acf options for planar travel as a lower level party?

I've not hear of Stormborn as a race or template in 3E.

Maybe it's PF, 3rd party, or homebrew? Or maybe obscure Dragon magazine?

There's a PF bloodline: https://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/sorcerer/bloodlines/bloodlines-from-paizo/stormborn-bloodline/

Or a 5E homebrew: https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Stormborn_(5e_Race)

A search of http://www.aeolia.net/dragondex/articles-subject.html doesn't show any Dragon content that matches.

...unless it's a different 3E race, using that name? Maybe someone with a Storm Giant Bloodline (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/races/bloodlines.htm)? or a Storm Rider (http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/fey/20040110a)?

Stormborne

I think they were a planar touched from pandemonium we're unsure if this is the correct name of the race they had an ability called a thousand voices that emulated ghost sound
we think they also had some minor resistances to sonic. See in darkness and we cannot remember any ability score changes if any.

Ah...seems to be a Homebrew race from these forums: New Planetouched (more coming later) (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?109785)


Stormborn (Pandemonium-touched)

The stormborn carry the blood of Pandemonium, the windswept caves of madness. They are as varied in their appearances as all the planetouched are, but they all share one common tendency: madness. Most stormborn are prone to fits of manic behaviour and exaggerated emotions, and often they barely contemplate their decisions. Still, they can be oddly compelling when trying to convince others of their ideas.

The stormborn tend to be thin and lightly built, with long and slender limbs, but apart from that, share few common features. Some have hair that seems to move as in an invisible wind, or a shadow that seems darker than it should be, sometimes flickering as if in the light of a torch. Large or glowing eyes are not uncommon among these planetouched, while others have a skin that is so dark it seems almost black. Many have strange voices, like two people speaking simultaneously, or high-pitched and wheezing.

Stats:


+2 Dex, +2 Cha, -2 Wis: Agile bodies and an open, outgoing personality are common in the stormborn, but so is a slight detachment from reality.
Creature Type: Native Outsider
Base Speed: 30 ft.
Superior Darkvision: stormborn can see in the darkness up to 60 feet, even in magical darkness.
Racial Skills: stormborn have an acute sense of hearing, giving them a +2 racial bonus to listen checks. They are also surprisingly good performers, giving them a +2 racial bonus on perform checks while singing or using wind instruments.
Spell-like abilities: A stormborn can use gust of wind once per day as a 1st-level caster or a caster of his class levels, whichever is higher.
Special Qualities: Sonic Resistance 5.
A thousand voices (Su): whenever this is active, the stormborn is surrounded by the effect of a Ghost Sound spell, to a distance up to 30 ft. with a caster level equal to his class level. He can create any sound the spell could normally create, but the sound of a distant, howling wind is always present along it. The effect can be activated or deactivated at will, as a free action.
Automatic Languages: Common, Abyssal. Bonus Languages: Auran, Dwarven, Giant, Gnome, Terran, and Undercommon
Favored Class: Bard
Level Adjustment: +1

Oh wow thanks a lot! My friend frequents the forums and must have thought it was an official source since this was from a game around 11-12 years ago.
