That's a BIRDY!
Nice stuff, fair numbers. I don't see that non-humanoid shape clause, but nor is there anything about weapon or tools use. How do the birdies do on the manual dexterity front?

They have hands, they're good. I have made adjustments based on feedback.

WALLARA

· Chameleon (Ex/Sp): The Wallara may Hide in Plain Sight as per the Ranger ability of the same name. Additionally the Wallara may cast Disguise Self at will as a Spell-Like ability.

I'd make this two separate abilities. The Ex/Sp designation, in particular, is very clunky.

· Dimension Door (Su): 1/Day as a Full Round Action the Wallara may teleport anywhere within 120'. This otherwise is similar to the Dimension Door spell, except that you never risk teleporting into solid matter. You may use it 2/day at ECL 5, 3.day at ECL 8, and at will once you reach ECL 10.

A bit unusual, but hey, SCALING!

· Level Adjustment: +2

No way. Dragonblood subtype, at-will SLAs, HiPS, no stat penalty… This is not on par with Troglodytes.

Spell Resistance
Your bloodline gives you resistance to magic.
Prerequisites: Wallara, Draconic Heritage
Benefits: You gain a +1 Racial Bonus on Saving Throws versus Spells or Spell-Like Abilities.

That's a tad confusing a name for a feat that doesn't grant SR.

Spirit Shaman
Level 20: Replace Spirit Who Walks with Dragon Spirit.
Dragon Spirit (Ex): Your Type changes to Dragon, and you gain DR 10/Magic.

DR/magic is very lackluster at level 20.

Dragon Shaman
Level 1: You gain an additional option you can learn to use your Draconic Aura. Stealth gives a Bonus to Hide and Move Silently Checks equal to your Aura Bonus.

Nice!

I'll look at the spirit statblocks later.

Aaaand spirits:

Challenge Rating: 9 (20 in the Dreamworld)

Why do they have CR 9 in the not-Dreamworld again? The stats are good, but their offense (and by "they" I mean all three spirits) goes away entirely and their defenses become thoroughly mediocre.

Combat: Wallaran Spirits hate fighting, especially in their Dreamworld home. Usually they just Polymorph them into a harmless creature and leave.

Fragment; consider revising.

Wallaran Spirit (Koala)
Tiny Outsider (Extraplanar, Lawful, Spirit)

6 squares.

+3 then?

I could make it DR/-.

Let me review that, they were originally CR 9 due to the spirit guide feat, and I probably forgot to adjust them due to exhaustion.

At the very least, yes.

That's good stuff. Please do!

Revisions are up. This next one is an oddity that will be...tricky to adjust.

ARGAS



"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

The Argas are lizard headed humanoids covered in blue, green or purple scales with a metallic sheen.

ARGAS RACIAL TRAITS

· Type: Humanoid with the Reptilian Subtype
· Base land speed 30 ft.

If the item is within 50 feet you can attempt to Drain it as a Standard Action, but only if you make a DC 25 Use Magic Device Check. Intelligent items of Good Alignment are immune to this ability. This gains you spell points, which you ban use to cast spell-like abilities.

These spell points are lost once used, and to gain more the Argas must Drain more items. If the item doesn't produce a spell effect, then use the highest level spell necessary to create it instead. The spell point cost, and what spell-like abilities the Argas can use are listed below:
1st Level (Costs 1 spell point): Detect Evil, Detect Good
3rd Level (Costs 3 spell points) Continual Flame, Invisibility
5th Level (Costs 5 spell points): Fireball, Protection from Energy, Tongues

Base Weight: 130 lbs.
Weight Modifier: x2d6 lbs.

ARGAS CHARACTERS
Look for classes that won't need much in the way of magic items or that provide healing (or the ability to let your strikes overcome DR/Magic), because Drain is a neat ability but it kind of messes you over in some ways.
Adventuring Race: Argas adventure purely to destroy Evil.
Character Development: Make sure you're always fully clothed and be careful about what you touch with your bare skin since you can't turn your Drain ability off (without Feats that is). This will prevent you from Draining your companions items accidentally, but still won't let you use them.
Character Names: Argas use Lizardman names.

ROLEPLAYING AN ARGAS
Evil is always present, and you will always be there to destroy it. You end up exhausting yourself due to seeing it everywhere.
Personality: You can be a little cold and condescending given your obsessions, but hopefully people can see you mean well.
Behaviors: You tend to be obsessed with Evil, to the point you're kind of annoying about it. It's like nothing else exists for you.
Language: Argas speak Draconic.

ARGAS SOCIETY
The Argas are fairly advanced, but have little in the way of magic to aid them given their draining abilities. Not much is known about their culture due to their distant nature.
Alignment : Virtually all Argas are Lawful Good.
Lands : Argas are semi aquatic, so they prefer underground lakes and rivers.
Settlements : Argas will settle any where in the Underdark they can live in and fight evil..
Beliefs : Argas worship virtually any Good deities.
Relations: The Argas are fairly reclusive, but their never ending quest to destroy Evil often brings them into contact with other races eventually.

ARGAS ADVENTURES
· You found a colony of Mindflayers and went all superhero on their butts. It didn't work out like you hoped, but now you're inspiring a prison break...
· Knowing that your hatchlings must eat copious amounts of metal to survive, some one has been putting Rust Monsters in your home city. They're like big, persistent roaches, and you're determined to be rid of them.
· A self proclaimed champion of Evil has challenged you to a duel out of the blue. You have two days to figure out whats going on.

VERY nice. Probably wasn't meant to be Sp, though.

It works, I think?

last of the reptiles, next week is amphibians

I like those too!

PTERAFOLK

Hm. So, let's do a little comparison with the version from MComp:MoF, updated to 3.5 in PGtF!

This Here	Official Version
DEX 2 higher	STR 6; CON 4; INT 2 higher
30' base land; up to 90' (good) flight	30' base land, 20' climb; up to 50' (good) flight
Dive (Ex); Flyby Attack in flight	Flyby Attack in pterodactyl form only
Primary bite (1d6), secondary claws (1d4); always on	Primary claws (1d6), secondary bite (1d8); must land after using claws in flight
+6 natural armour	+7 natural armour
Craft, K. (nature); Survival	Climb; Jump
Advances by class (default)	Advances by HD (default)
LA +3	LA +4

The similarity is a bit confusing, but I think the balance is roughly in order. If it weren't for poor Ogres, I'd maybe even advocate going down to LA +2.

Spear Hook
You have a fighting style with the Barbed Spear.
Prerequisites: Pterafolk, Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Barbed Spear)
Benefits: You can make opposed combat checks with your Barbed Spear (see below).

(…)

Barbed Spear
This is identical to a Spear, except as follows: You gain a +2 Bonus on opposed Checks made to Disarm, Grapple or Trip someone with the weapon if you have the Spear Hook Feat. If you fail your attempt at an opposed check, you can drop the weapon to prevent your opponent from making his own attempt back.

I'd opine that's strictly not worth two feats.

[Bhu]

I was trying to update it from 2e, I hadn't realized they'd already done it. I'll edit in a new critter.

Nah, it's a nice variant! Slap some epithet on the name and you'll be good.

[Bhu]

I can't believe these were never done in 3.5.

Scout
Levels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19: Replace Skirmish with Ambush
Ambush (Ex): In any round in which the Scout makes an attack against an opponent who is Flat-Footed or unaware of his presence he does +1d6 damage. He also gets this bonus to ranged attacks performed on any round in which he does not move. This extra damage increases by 1d6 for every four levels gained above 1st (2d6 at 5th, 3d6 at 9th, 4d6 at 13th, and 5d6 at 17th level).

The extra damage only applies against living creatures that have a discernible anatomy. Undead, constructs, oozes, plants, incorporeal creatures, and creatures immune to extra damage from critical hits are not vulnerable to this additional damage. The scout must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. Scouts can apply this extra damage to ranged attacks made while skirmishing, but only if the target is within 30 feet.

[Metastachydium]

I can't believe these were never done in 3.5.

Right? I suppose having included the Bullywugs, the Siv, the Gripplis (Dragon only, but still) and the Neraphim, they figured they have enough froggies. Not that I agree.

Loving this to bits! But no RHD/LA +0 material this is not. Small with +4 CON, CON/CON poison, autoproficiency with all martial weapons plus all the little quality of life stuff such as Amphibious, the natural armour/weapons and stuff, the only downside being something you can negate at level 1 at the low-low cost of becoming able to dispense one of the nastiest debuffs in the game (i.e. nausea)? This is some strong mix. I could easily see a +2 or higher.

Ambush Fighter
You are proficient at fighting from hiding.
Prerequisites: Grung, Hide 4 ranks
Benefits: If your opponent is flat-footed or unaware of you, your attacks that turn automatically threaten a critical.

I appreciate the love for these guys, don't get me wrong, but damn, that's just brutal for a "grab it at level 1, go to town" feat.

The extra damage only applies against living creatures that have a discernible anatomy. Undead, constructs, oozes, plants, incorporeal creatures, and creatures immune to extra damage from critical hits are not vulnerable to this additional damage. The scout must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. Scouts can apply this extra damage to ranged attacks made while skirmishing, but only if the target is within 30 feet.

At 3rd level, the applicable range for your Ambush attack increases by +20'. This bonus improves by and additional 20' for every four levels gained above 3rd (+40' at 7th, +60' at 11th, +80' at 15th, and +120' at 19th level).

A scout loses this ability when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load. If she gains the skirmish ability from another class, the bonuses stack.

Still not seeing the appeal.

Ice Toads are white toads with pale blue lumps and sharp teeth. Over 8 feet long, they make an imposing sight.

· Type: Magical Beast with the Cold Subtype, giving it Low-light Vision and Darkvision 60 ft.

· Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, an ice toad must hit a Medium or smaller creature with its tongue attack. If it gets a hold, it begins to drag its target to its mouth. In subsequent rounds, the toad and the target make opposed Strength checks. The toad and the target gain a +4 bonus on this check for each size category larger than Medium, or a -4 penalty for each size category smaller than Medium (an ice toad's usual modifier is +8 for size and Strength). If the ice toad wins the opposed Strength check, the toad drags the victim closer by 1 foot for every point of difference between the check results.

If the victim wins the opposed check, it breaks free. If the distance between the toad and the victim is reduced to 0 (when the victim is drawn into the toad's mouth), the toad immediately makes a bite attack as a free action. The target is considered grappled, and loses any Dexterity bonus to AC.

Toads also have improved grab with their bite attacks. To use this ability, the ice road must hit with its bite attack, either after dragging an opponent to its mouth or simply as a normal melee attack. If it gets a hold, it can swallow whole.

FIRE TOAD (Forgotten Realms)



"PTOOEY!"

FIRE TOAD RACIAL TRAITS
· +6 Dex, -4 Str, -4 Int (minimum 3), -4 Cha
· Size Class: Small. +1 Size Bonus to Armor Class and Attack Rolls. +4 Size Bonus to Hide Checks. -4 Size Penalty to Bull Rush, Grapple, Overrun, and Trip Checks. Lifting and Carrying Limits are 3/4 those of a Medium character.
· Type: Magical Beast with the Fire Subtype, giving it Low-light Vision and Darkvision 60 ft.
· Base land speed 20 ft.
· Fireball (Su): Fire toads can make a ranged attack roll by breathing fireball at their foes. These fireballs have a range of 30 ft., and explode on impact in a 5 ft. radius. They inflict 2d8 Fire damage. A Reflex save (Save DC is Dexterity based) halves the damage on a success.
· Fire Toads have 4 Racial Hit Dice, giving it the following: 4d10 Hit Points, +4 Base Attack Bonus, +4 Fort Save, +4 Ref Save, +1 Will Save, and (2 + Int modifier) skill points per level (with times 4 skill points for the first level). Class skills are Jump, Listen and Spot. It also gets 2 Feats.
· All toads receive a +6 racial bonus on Jump checks.
. Non Humanoid Form: The Fire Toads aren't humanoid and have no hands. They may not make Craft, Disable Device, Disguise, Forgery, Heal, Open Lock, Sleight of Hand, or Use Rope checks. They are also limited in the type of Perform skills they can get. They cannot wield weapons. If someone is willing to help them in and out of it they can wear armor. Armor is double the cost and half the weight for them.
· Automatic Languages: Fire Toad. Bonus Languages: Usually a nearby race, if any.
· Level Adjustment: +0

So… They don't have hands, have hefty stat penalties, low speed and only a bonus to Jump and the very confusingly named Fireball thing to show for it? With 4 RHD? Try 2 HD, perhaps. Small size, full BAB, d10s and the only good ability being sweet, sweet DEX could make that work.

· Fireball (Su): Fire toads can make a ranged attack roll by breathing fireball at their foes. These fireballs have a range of 30 ft., and explode on impact in a 5 ft. radius. They inflict 2d8 Fire damage. A Reflex save (Save DC is Dexterity based) halves the damage on a success.

Alternatively, you could make this an actual Fireball (it's standard action once per round, incidentally, right?) and let it scale.

FIRE TOAD ADVENTURES
· After a prolonged fight with a pack of geese, you have accidentally burned the forest down. People are not happy.

Ah, one of the classic blunders! Never start a land war with geese!

Potent Fireball
Your fireball is more powerful.
Prerequisites: Improved Fireball
Benefits: Your fireball does an additional d8 damage.

Can this at least be taken multiple times?

Blazing Retreat
You have several maneuvers you can use with your tongue.
Prerequisites: Fire Toad, Dodge, Mobility, Point Blank Shot
Benefits: When withdrawing from combat as a Full Action, you may spit two fireballs.

Hell, yes! Now we're talking.

Lets Get Bitey
You have a new biting attack.
Prerequisites: Fire Toad, Con 13+
Benefits: You gain a Primary Natural Bite attack doing 1d6 plus one and a half times Str modifier, plus 1d6 fire damage.

And this isn't half bad either.

Edit: The Kna looks basically alright, if not very powerful, although the claw/bite has measly damage dice for its size.

[Bhu]

Can this at least be taken multiple times?

.

Sounds good to me.

[Metastachydium]

Well, it's something!

· You have been asked to lead a raid on a local coastal city, only to find it abandoned.

Ashiera Racial Feats

ASHIERA

ASHIERA RACIAL TRAITS

Not very strong, but interesting and the numbers look about right. I like that spread of ability adjustments and the lovely array of movement speeds, in particular.

· Spell-like Abilities (Sp): 1/day: Ice Knife, Ice Storm 2/day: Fog Cloud

· Vulnerability (Ex): Ashiera are vulnerable to Fire damage.

[That cold resistence feat.]

Any reason why it doesn't just have the Cold subtype? It would be a fine thematic fit, and cold vulnerability wouldn't mess up anything too bad.

ASHIERA CHARACTERS
A few level dip in a spellcasting class to help boost your movement speed may be necessary.

I don't think that's a very good advice, honestly. Air Heritage (totally worth the feat slot), Water Heritage (whatever, but if one wants to swim fast…) and a level in Barbarian (better synergy with 8 points of ECL with no actual casting) would leave 'em with 30' land, 40' swim and 40' fly (good) all day, every day.

Character Names: Ashiera use Elven names for some reason.

I find that funnier than I probably should. Nice detail.

Cold Healing (Reserve)
You can use the cold to heal yourself.
Prerequisites: Ashiera, must be able to cast 3rd Level spells
Benefits: As long as you have an abjuration spell of 3rd level or higher available to cast, you can attempt to heal yourself via your opponents magic. As an immediate action, you can force any character within 30 feet currently casting a spell on you that has the cold descriptor to make a Concentration check (DC 15 + the level of the highest-level abjuration spell you have available to cast); if the check fails, you take no damage from the spell, and heal 1 point of damage per level of the highest level abjuration spell you have to cast.

It's clunky and very situational. I'd probably drop it.

Scout
Levels 3+: When you gain Fast Movement, you can choose which movement speed to enhance.

I could see Barbarian getting a similar treatment.

Personality: Most people would say you have no personality, as you only rarely show anything resembling emotion. Many would also call you psychopathic, as you tend to attack anything perceived as weaker than yourselves..

Better!

ANGUILIAN

So, the bad news is, there's already an official version in Stormwrack (they spell the name with two ls, though). The good news is, it's perfectly identical to yours, so, um, good job there!

Anguilian Racial Feats

At any rate, I like the feats. Quite a useful lot all around (the tail one, in particular, sets the stage for getting Prehensile Tail, essentially slapping (he-he) on another hand!) and I really like GO FASTER options in general, so extra points for adding one.

I remember it from Stormwrack, I just wanted to flesh it out a bit.
