Jackal-headed desert scavenger race (3.5, PEACH)

[Djinn_in_Tonic]

Because the god Anubis carries a flail. That's what he's holding in this picture:

I'd pick a different weapon (Khopesh would indeed be a decent choice), because the flail wasn't really an Egyptian weapon: Anubis carries a farming flail, and I don't believe it was supposed to be used. In Egypt the flail was a symbol of sorts: it was part of the crook + flail combo that was a pharaoh's symbol of power. I suspect Anubis carries one for a similar reason.

That said, I like the race. Quite a bit, actually. Well done. Although I might shift the save bonus to saves against death effects and negative energy effects, just for the Anubis theme.
