The 3.5 Race Conversion Project, now with a new and improved thread

[Thealtruistorc]

I have set out to create or compile conversions of every race in Dungeons and Dragons 3.5. My ultimate goal: to fill pathfinder with every single 3.5 race. This is the second thread I have devoted to that pursuit, and I hope it is as productive, if not more so. Enjoy!

These are the conversions I know exist (Using dreamscarred press, paizo, and ths: http://pf-eberron.wikidot.com/races). Feel free to show me others.

Let's make this list as big as possible. My goal is to obtain updated versions of all of the 3.5 races. Direct me towards any you know of or help me by homebrewing them yourself, as I have already begun. If you want to cover them through alternate racial traits as well, that is also great.

Races I have updated myself

Karsite

(These are alternate racial traits for humans)
Spell Absorption: You gain Spell Resistance equal to your 6 + your class level. In addition, any spell you prevent from hurting you with your spell resistance heals you by 2 hp per spell level. This ability replaces the normal human bonus feat.

Magic Drain: When you strike a creature in melee, they must make a saving throw with a DC equal to 10 + your Charisma modifier. If they fail, one magic weapon, armor, or shield in their possession no longer counts as magic until the end of your next turn. You may choose the item to drain, otherwise it is determined randomly. However, whenever you cast an arcane or divine spell, you have a 25% chance of failure. This ability replaces skilled.

Githyanki

Spoiler

Show

+2 Dexterity, +2 Constitution, –2 Wisdom: Agile and hardy,
githyanki tend to be impatient and overconfident.

Medium: As Medium creatures, githyanki have no special
bonuses or penalties due to their size.

Githyanki base land speed is 30 feet.

Darkvision out to 60 feet.

Naturally Psionic: Githyanki gain the Wild Talent feat as a bonus feat at 1st level. If a githyanki takes levels in a psionic class, he instead gains the Psionic Talent feat.

Githyanki Psionics: As a githyanki advances in level, he
gains psi-like abilities as indicated on the table below. The
benefi ts are cumulative. Manifester level is equal to 1/2 Hit
Dice (minimum 1st). The save DCs are Charisma-based.
Level Psi-Like Abilities
1st 3/day—far hand, telepathic lash, astral traveler
3rd 1/day—concealing amorpha
6th 1/day—astral caravan

Power Resistance (Ex): A githyanki has power resistance
equal to 6 + his class level

Psionic Aptitude: When a githyanki takes a level in a favored class, it can choose to gain an additional power point instead of a hit point or skill point.

Thri-Kreen

Spoiler

Show

+2 Strength, +2 Dexterity, –2 Intelligence, +2 Wisdom, –4
Charisma: Thri-kreen are strong and quick, but they think
differently from most humanoids and have a hard time
relating to folk of other races.

Monstrous Humanoid: Thri-kreen are not subject to spells
or effects that affect humanoids only, such as charm person
or dominate person.

Medium: As Medium creatures, thri-kreen have no special
bonuses or penalties due to their size.

Thri-kreen base land speed is 30 feet.

+1 Natural Armor: A thri-kreen’s exoskeleton is tough and
resistant to blows.

Multiple Limbs: Thhri-kreen have four arms, and thus can
take the Multiweapon Fighting feat (page 304 of the Monster
Manual) instead of the Two-Weapon Fighting feat. Thri-kreen
can also take the Multiattack feat. (These are not bonus feats.)

Natural Attacks: Thri-kreen can attack with four claws. The claws deal 1d4 points of damage. A thri-kreen can attack with a weapon (or multiple weapons)
at its normal attack bonus, and make a claw attack as a
secondary attack. For example, a thri-kreen
ranger with the Multiweapon Fighting feat who is armed
with three short swords could attack with all three swords
at a –2 penalty (the normal penalty for fighting with multiple
weapons while using light weapons in its off hands)
and also make a claw attack at a –5 penalty.

Naturally Psionic: Thri-Kreen gain the Wild Talent feat as a bonus feat at 1st level. If a thri-kreen takes levels in a psionic class, he instead gains the Psionic Talent feat.

Thri-Kreen Psionics: Thri-Kreen gain the following Psy-like ability: 1/day—metaphysical claw. The manifester level for this effect is equal to 1/2 the Thri-Kreen's level (minimum 1st). The DC for this power is equal to 10 + the power's level + the Thri-Kreen's Charisma modifier.

Psionic Aptitude: When a thri-kreen takes a level in a favored class, it can choose to gain an additional power point instead of a hit point or skill point.

Hengeyokai

Spoiler

Show

+2 Charisma, –2 Wisdom. Hengeyokai tend to be flighty and weak-willed, but have powerful personalities. In addition, Hengeyokai receive a bonus to one physical ability score based on their animal form while in hybrid form.

In human form, hengeyokai are Medium-size. As Medium- size creatures, hengeyokai have no special bonuses or penalties due to size.

Hengeyokai have darkvision out to 60 feet

Monstrous Humanoid: Hengeyokai are not subject to spells
or effects that affect humanoids only, such as charm person
or dominate person.

In human and hybrid form, hengeyokai base speed is 30 feet.

Alternate Form: Hengeyokai can change their shape into that of a specific animal, assuming one of three possible forms: Humanoid, Animal, and Hybrid form. The animal form functions as Beast Shape III, except that the Hengeyokai can only assume the form of their chosen animal. In hybrid form, the Hengeyokai appears to be a mixture of human and animal. It receives a +2 bonus to a physical stat depending on their animal form, and also receives bonuses depending on the animal form (see the table). Otherwise, it’s game statistics are the same as in human form. While in human or animal form, the Hengeyokai gains a +10 bonus to disguise checks to impersonate the creature it takes the shape of. This ability is usable by the Hengeyokai a number of times per day equal to the 3 + his Charisma modifier.

Wild Empathy: This functions like the druid or ranger class feature, except that the Hengeyokai adds its character level instead of its class level.

Spellscale

Spoiler

Show

+2 Intelligence, +2 Charisma, –2 Constitution. Spellscales are charming
creatures who often neglect their physical bodies while
pursuing intellectual or social interests.

Medium: As Medium creatures, spellscales have no
special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
Spellscale base land speed is 30 feet.

Low-Light Vision: A spellscale can see twice as far as a
human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar
conditions of poor illumination. He retains the ability to
distinguish color and detail under these conditions.

Humanoid (dragonblood): Spellscales are humanoids
with the dragonblood subtype. For all effects related to
race, a spellscale is considered a dragon.

Focused Study: Spellscales receive Skill Focus as a bonus feat at first level.

Draconic Meditation: At the beginning of a day, a Spellscale may meditate on the draconic mysteries for one hour, and in doing so may call upon latent magical energy that lies within himself. During the meditation, the Spellscale may choose a metamagic feat, spell focus (chosen at the time of meditation), eschew materials, or improved counterspell. He may spontaneously apply that feat to a spell he is casting without altering the casting time or level of the spell a number of times equal to 5 - the level alteration for the spell. At 10th level, this improves to 7-the level alteration for the spell. For example, a 7th-level Spellscale sorcerer who had meditated that morning and chosen Empower Spell as his meditation feat could spontaneously empower up to three spells that he casts that day (5-2=3).
Alternatively, a Spellscale may choose to use their Draconic Meditation to add a single spell to their spells known. The spell must be of a level that you can cast. This spell is useable once per day, and does not have to be on your class spell list (it does, however, consume a spell slot). You can only perform one Draconic Meditation in a day.
None of the abilities granted by Draconic Meditation count towards meeting prerequisites or requirements

Neraphim

Spoiler

Show

+2 to One Ability Score: Neraph characters gain a +2 bonus to one ability score of their choice at creation to represent the chaotic and variable nature of their species.

Outsider: Neraphim are native to the plane of Limbo, and thus have the outsider type. They gain the extraplanar subytpe when not on Limbo. They are not subject to spells or effects that affect only humanoids, such as charm person or dominate person.

Medium: As Medium creatures, neraphim have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.

A neraph's base land speed is 30 feet.

Neraphim have darkvision out to 60 feet.

Neraph Camouflage (Ex): When charging an opponent or when using a thrown weapon, neraphim can use a technique known as motion camouflage (also called neraph camouflage by other races), which predatory insects use to trick prey into thinking they are stationary even though they are moving closer. The target creature can be fooled into believing that the charging neraph or the neraph's thrown weapon is in fact not moving closer, or moving closer only very slowly.

A neraph may make only one camouflage attack per enemy per encounter (once a foe sees the attack in action, the foe can discern it for what it is for the duration of that combat). Creatures that are subject to a neraph charge or who are targeted by a weapon thrown by a neraph may not apply their Dexterity bonuses to their Armor Class. All conditions that pertain when a foe cannot apply his Dexterity bonus to Armor Class also pertain to the neraph's attack (for instance, a sneak attack could also be made with this attack, if the neraph can make such an attack).

Skilled Hunter: Neraphim have a +2 bonus to Acrobatics and Perception checks

Weapon Familiarity: Neraphim may treat the annulat (Planar Handbook) as a martial weapon rather than an exotic weapon.

+2 natural armor: Natural skin encrustations grant neraphim some protection against attacks.

Diopsid

Spoiler

Show

Monstrous Humanoid: As monstrous humanoids, diopsids are immune to spells that only affect humanoids, such as charm person and hold person.

+4 Constitution, -2 Dexterity, -2 Intelligence: Diopsids are tough, but they are clumsy and slow witted compared to other races. A diopsid's young age at adulthood makes it inexperienced and ignorant compared to other folk.

Medium: As size Medium creatures, diopsids gain no special benefits or penalties due to their size. Diopsid base land speed is 30 feet.

Darkvision: Diopsids can see in the dark to a range of up to 60 feet.

Bioluminescence: A diopsid has a number of glands on its body that allow it to shed light much like a firefly. At will, the diopsid can shed light in a 10- foot radius around its body. Shadowy illumination extends another 20 feet around this area. The diopsid can create or douse this light as a free action.

Natural Armor: A diopsid's tough carapace gives it a +2 natural armor bonus.

Support Arms: Diopsids have four arms: their two primary limbs and a secondary, weaker set of arms. The weaker arms cannot wield weapons, but enable the diopsid to wield weapons of one size larger using their weaker arms for stability.
Alternatively, a diopsid may use its support arms to carry a light or heavy shield that it is proficient with, but while it gains the armor bonus it may not make attacks with the shield.
Finally, these extra arms may be used to retrieve an item as a swift action. You cannot perform the other functions if the Support Arms are being used for another. Switching between functions is a move action.

Limb Symmetry: A diopsid's four arms allow it to carry and use multiple items with relative ease. A diopsid ignores the Dexterity prerequisite, if any, for the Two-Weapon Fighting feat or any feat that has it as a prerequisite. The diopsid must fulfill the rest of the feat's requirements as normal.

Immune to Sleep: Diopsids do not need to sleep and are immune to all sleep effects. However, a Diopsid still needs to rest for 8 hours before preparing spells

Goliath

Spoiler

Show

+4 Strength, -2 Dexterity, +2 Constitution: Goliaths are massively muscled, but their bulk sometimes gets in the way when they're trying to be nimble.

Medium: As Medium creatures, goliaths have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.

Monstrous Humanoid: As monstrous humanoids, diopsids are immune to spells that only affect humanoids, such as charm person and hold person.

Powerful Build: The physical stature of goliaths lets them function in many ways as if they were one size category larger. Whenever a goliath is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for a CMB or CMD (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), the goliath is treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to him. A goliath is also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature's special attacks based on size (such as grab or swallow whole) can affect him. A goliath can use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty. However, his space and reach remain those of a creature of his actual size. The benefits of this racial trait stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that change the subject's size category.

Natural Mountaineers: Goliaths are automatically acclimated to life at high altitude. They do not receive penalties normally associated with acting at high altitudes. In addition, goliaths gain a +2 bonus to climb and acrobatics checks, and are always considered to have a running start while making an acrobatics check to jump.

Analytical: Goliaths gain a +2 bonus to Sense Motive checks

In addition, twice per day you may choose to add your character level to any skill check, caster level check, attack roll, or saving throw. This ability replaces bonus feat and skilled.
