Chapter 1: Races

Culinar A human changed by exposure to blue magic in the womb.

Spoiler

Culinar
Culinar are humans who were exposed to food magic in the womb. It’s certainly not a guarantee that any child exposed to blue magic will be born a culinar, but the likelihood increases the more they are exposed. Often, culinar are unaware that anything about them is different from their human parents, but they always have a strong affinity for food and blue magic.
Personality: Culinar are much like the humans they are descended from, with no truly typical outlook, though they universally have a strong appreciation for food.
Physical Description: Culinar look like normal humans, though they tend to be slightly heavier, due to their increased appreciation for flavors and tastes.
Relations: Other races react to culinar the same way they would react to humans. Some humans who know the true nature of a culinar distrust them as different, but a good meal tends to help make friends.
Alignment: Culinar are much like humans, in that they have no truly ‘typical’ alignment. However, you’re slightly more likely to find neutral or good culinar.
{table=head]|L|N|C

N|10|15|10
E|10|10|10[/table]
Lands: Culinar live in human lands, most often in cities where any pregnant woman could get a magic meal from a gourmand’s restaurant, though it’s certainly possible for a culinar to be born in any area, provided the right conditions can be met.
Religion: Culinar usually believe in the same gods they were raised to believe, though some convert to gods with domain over food if they discover their true nature.
Language: Culinar speak common, though they are known to use a variety of terms and phrases from other languages.
Names: Culinar names are usually identical to human names.
Adventurers:

• Medium Size: A culinar gains no special bonuses or penalties due to their size
• Culinar have a base land speed of 30 feet.
• Culinar gain one bonus feat at 1st level
• Hunger: A culinar’s prodigious appetite means that their hunger can be distracting. A culinar that does not eat at least one day’s rations each day takes a -1 morale penalty to attack rolls, skill checks, and ability checks. This requirement is not satisfied by spells, abilities, or items that remove your requirement to eat.
• Blue Magic Affinity: A culinar gains a +1 morale bonus to attack rolls, skill checks, and ability checks for every two dishes currently active.
• Base Languages: Common. Bonus Languages: Any non-secret languages
• Favored Class: Gourmand

Qu A race of swamp-dwelling humanoids with froglike features and oversized tongues.

Qu


I do what I want. You have problem?

Qu are a race of swamp-dwelling folk with a strong appreciation for taste and food. Some call them frog folk due to their long tongues and squat bodies. It might also have something to do with the fact that frog meat is a staple of most Qu recipes.
Personality: Qu are strongly individualistic. They tend to believe that everyone has the right to do anything they want, as long as it doesn’t harm anyone.
Physical Description: Qu are relatively short and squat. They have short legs and large, round bellies. Their faces are wide, with small eyes featuring hourglass-shaped pupils, wide mouths, and no nose. Their most interesting feature is their tongue, which hangs out of their mouth most of the time, to about level with their chest. Since they have no nose, they use their tongue in much the same way, tasting the air. The tongue can be pulled back in, but they prefer not to, unless there’s an unpleasant taste in the air. They can even ‘fire’ their tongue out to grab things. Males and females are virtually indistinguishable.
Relations: Qu tend to remain isolated in their swamps. They are usually friendly to outsiders, but outsiders often have trouble truly blending into qu society. Qu that visit other lands, particularly cities, tend to create friction due to their unusual views on proper behavior, but they often make close friends among similarly free-spirited individuals.
Alignment: Qu are strongly chaotic and generally good.
{table=head]|L|N|C
G|10|15|20
N|5|10|20
E|5|5|10[/table]
Lands: Qu swamps are insular communities in marshes. Qu homes are usually small, elevated above the surface of the water on stilts, with a ramp leading down to a dry area that rises out of the swamp. This small area of dry land is usually where the kitchen area is. Often, several qu homes will share the same dry patch, sometimes with separate kitchens, other times with larger, communal ones.
Religion: Qu worship their marshes as a living entities, but they also worship a variety of other deities, including deities with strong elemental ties to earth and water, gods of food and cooking, and gods of nature.
Language: Qu speak common, though their lack of a nose and large tongue means they speak it with some difficulty, sounding like they are speaking with a full mouth. There was a qu language long ago, but it was eventually supplanted by common. They do still use words from the old language to describe tastes, textures, flavors and occasionally the names of dishes. Qu words are very heavy on vowel sounds. They use the word ‘taste’ the way most use the word ‘smell’, since the senses are the same to them.
Names: Traditonally, qu names start with the letters ‘Qu’. The names are usually gender-neutral.
Adventurers: Qu adventurers are usually Gourmands. Most often ,their motivation is pure wanderlust. They want to see and taste everything the world has to offer.

• -2 dexterity, +2 constitution. Qu are hardy, but heavy-set and slow to move.
• Monstrous Humanoid type
• Medium Size
• Qu have a base land speed of 20 feet
• Scent
• Tongue: A qu has a long, flexible tongue that they can use to grab things. A qu’s tounge has a reach of ten feet. A qu can use their tongue for a number of purposes. They can grab small objects weighing no more than (10 lbs x qu’s str mod) and pull it toward them. A qu can use their tongue to deliver touch spells and other touch-based effects, or to trip/disarm opponents at a range.
• Big-Boned: Qu possess the Overweight trait. They do not take a penalty to speed.
• Martial Proficiency: Qu are considered proficient with tridents.
• Base Languages: Common. Bonus Languages: Aquan, Giant, Goblin, Halfling, Orc, Sylvan
• Favored Class: Gourmand

Risen A race of undead creatures, raised from death with a hunger for flesh.

Spoiler

Risen


I‘ve already died once, you think you have what it takes to put me down again?

Risen are not truly a race of their own, being the reanimated remains of humans, most often. It’s possible they can be made from other humanoid races, but it’s rare.
Personality: Risen personalities are a pale reflection of the personality they once had in life. They only remember disjointed, broken memories of their former lives, usually only the strongest or most recent memories, but they retain some unconscious reactions. For example, a risen might forget the man who stole his wife, but would still get angry when they see them. But the longer a risen has been around, the more muted and gray their emotions become, often leaving them bitter and spiteful of the living, like an old man angry at the young.
Physical Description: Risen are extremely eerie to look upon. They look very human but their flesh is dead gray and cold to the touch. Their facial muscles don’t work quite right anymore, giving their faces an unsettling off-ness. and as time goes on they begin to look emaciated, stretched over their skeletons as their organs atrophy. The ritual that creates them requires the bodies to be mostly intact and mostly covered in flesh, but sometimes it will raise bodies missing fingers or toes, or with exposed bones.
Relations: Risen are obviously undead in nature, and are very often viewed as corruptions of the natural order. If not actively hunted down and destroyed, they are usually avoided, ostracized, and generally shunned whenever possible. Some hide among their former brethren with illusions or disguises, but most of them create their own towns. Very few living beings are completely at ease with their tendancy to eat flesh and their taste for humanoid meat.
Alignment: As they grow older, most risen eventually become evil or at least neutral. There’s much debate if it’s in their nature, or if it’s in response to a world that hates them for existing. They’re more often neutral than lawful or chaotic.
{table=head]|L|N|C
G|5|10|5
N|10|15|10
E|15|15|15[/table]
Lands: Risen settlements usually arise around mass graves, graveyards, crypts, or battlefields, wherever a large number of somewhat-intact bodies can be found. They tend to be quite isolated, and are often under attack by forces of paladins and clerics.
Religion: Risen can be of any religion. Some of them try to remain faithful to the gods they kept faith with before they died, if they remember. Some worship gods of death and rebirth. Others embrace their undead nature and worship dark gods of undeath and necromancy.
Language: Risen retain all the languages they spoke in life.
Names: Risen use the name they used in life, if they can learn it or discover it somehow. Those that can’t choose new names when they first rise.
Adventurers: Risen adventurers are somewhat common. The only way for risen to increase their numbers is through a magical ritual, and as such, many risen eagerly seek to increase their magical power through adventuring in the hopes they will eventually be able to raise their own settlement.

Living Dead subtype (Ex): Risen are undead with the living dead subtype. A living dead being is an undead creature a number of lingering qualities of life, as detailed below.
Features: As a living dead creature, a risen has the following features:

• A risen derives it‘s hit dice, base attack bonus progression, saving throws, and skill points from the class it selects.

Traits: As a living dead creature, a risen has the following traits:

• Unlike other undead, a risen has a constitution score.
• Unlike other undead, a risen does not have darkvision.
• Unlike other undead, a risen is not immune to mind-affecting spells and abilities.
• Immune to Poison, Sleep effects, Paralysis, Disease, Nausea, Fatigue, Exhaustion, Effects that cause the Sickened condition, and energy drain.
• A risen cannot heal lethal damage naturally.
• Unlike other undead, risen are subject to critical hits, nonlethal damage, stunning, ability damage, ability drain, death effects, and necromancy effects.
• As living dead, risen can be targeted by spells that affect living creatures as well as undead. For example, a risen is vulnerable to both Circle of Death and Undeath to Death. A risen is healed by negative energy and damaged by positive energy as a normal undead creature.
• A risen responds differently from an undead creature when reduced to 0 hit points. A risen at 0 hit points is disabled, as with a living creature. They can only take a move or standard action each round, but strenuous activity does not risk further injury. When a risen’s HP is below 0, but above -10, the risen is inert. They are unconscious and helpless, and cannot perform any actions. An inert risen does not lose additional hit points unless more damage is dealt to them, as with a living creature that is stable.
• As a living dead creature, a risen can be raised or resurrected. The risen creation process fundamentally changes a soul, meaning even if slain and resurrected, the risen continues to be a risen, and does not revert to their former, living state.
• A living dead creature does not need to eat, sleep, or breathe, but can still benefit from the effects of consumable spells, magic items, and dishes, such a hero’s feast and potions. Despite not needing to eat, a risen still feels hunger, the only thing satisfying their hunger is meat.
• Although a living dead creature does not need to sleep, a risen wizard must rest for 8 hours before preparing spells.

Risen Traits:

• +2 intelligence, -2 dexterity, -2 charisma: Risen are intelligent, their minds sharpened by a lifetime of experience, but their decaying bodies are slow to react and they’re universally creepy.
• Consume: A risen craves flesh, often raw when they can get it. In truth, their undead body craves the living essence. The risen can consume the flesh from an adjacent corpse. Eating in this way takes one minute. A corpse targeted by this ability cannot be butchered for ingredients. This heals the risen a number of HP equal to ½ the creature’s HD, rounded down. If the risen targets a humanoid corpse, they instead heal HP equal to the creature’s full HD.
• Fortification: When a critical hit or sneak attack is scored on a risen, there is a 50% chance that the critical hit or sneak attack is negated and damage is instead rolled normally.
• Languages: Any the risen knew in life.
• Favored Class: Blue Mage

Mechanics of Rebirth
A risen is brought back from the grave changed from their former life. They lose most of the racial traits of their former race, becoming risen. The following information details exactly what changes mechanically.
Type, subtype, race: You lose your original type, becoming undead, and gaining the living dead subtype in addition to any existing subtypes. You still count as a member of your original race and a risen for the purpose of any effects or prerequisite based on race.
Racial hit dice: You retain your original racial Hit Dice, as well as all benefits gained therefrom (base attack and save bonuses, skill points, hit points, and so on).
Ability Modifiers: You retain your original racial ability modifiers and gain the ability modifiers of the risen race.
Size: You retain your original size. If the original race had powerful build as a racial trait, it is also retained.
Speed: You retain your original base land speed, as well as any other modes of movement possessed by your original race. Other racial traits related to speed or movement, such as the dwarf’s ability to move at full speed in medium or heavy armor, are lost.
Languages: You retain any languages you already know.
Favored Class: You retain your original favored classes and gain Blue Mage as a favored class.
Level Adjustment: You retain your original level adjustment.
Other Racial Traits: You lose all other racial traits of your original race, including bonus feats, skill bonuses, attack bonuses, save bonuses, spell-like abilities, and so forth. Two specific instances warrant clarification.

• If your original race granted you a nonspecific bonus feat (such as the one gained by a human at 1st level), any feat can be lost, so long as it is not a prerequisite for another feat you have.
• If your original race granted bonus skill points, you should deduct an appropriate amount of skill points from your current skill ranks. The specific skills affected are up to you, but the DM’s input might be required to adjudicate tricky situations (such as multiclass characters who might have purchased ranks of various skills as both class skills and cross-class skills).

The loss of racial traits might mean you no longer meet the prerequisites for a prestige class, feat, or some other feature. In general, you lose any special ability for which you no longer qualify, and nothing is gained in its place. A couple of exceptions exist.

• If you no longer qualify for a feat due to the transformation, you lose the feat and immediately select a new feat for which you qualify in its place. You must also replace any feat for which the lost feat was a prerequisite.
• If you no longer qualify for a prestige class, you lose the benefit of any class features or other special abilities granted by the class. You retain Hit Dice gained from advancing in the class, as well as any improvements to base attack bonus and base save bonuses that the class provided. If you later meet all the prerequisites for the class, you regain the benefits.

Kroot A race of bipedal avians who slowly take on the traits of those they eat.

Spoiler

Kroot


I am more than one warrior, I contain the essence of all the greatest warriors I have slain. Show me you are worthy of being one of them.

Kroot are a race of warriors and hunters, descended from great raptorlike avians, who slowly take on the traits of the creatures they consume.
Personality: Kroot are somewhat harsh in personality. They live violent lives, where everything and everyone fits into one or two categories. Useful or useless, friend or enemy, good or bad. They have little room for gray area in their outlook. They have a number of strong traditions, taboos, and rules regarding food.
Physical Description: Kroot are tall and wiry avian humanoids, standing between six and seven feet tall. Their skin usually ranges between pale green, dark forest green, and brown. They have a large, strong beak with a upward-hooking bite, and their skin is studded here and there with sturdy quills, the remnants of feathers, that allow the kroot to sense vibrations in their environment with remarkable accuracy. Kroot slowly take on the traits of animals and intelligent beings they consume, which means that all adult kroot look slightly different on a fundamental level.
Relations: Kroot have been isolated on their island home until very recently, meaning most kroot are complete outsiders to other cultures. However, from what limited contact there is, they seem to get along well with orcs, who have similar respect for strength, even among their foes. Many races are uncomfortable around Kroot, however, for their tendency to eat the flesh of their defeated foes. Most often, kroot away from their island homes are mercenaries, fighters for money.
Alignment: Kroot are a strange dichotomy. They have strong traditions and taboos, and are strongly obedient to the Shapers. However, they are relatively chaotic in their personal lives. They are usually more likely to be neutral than any extreme alignment.
{table=head]|L|N|C
G|5|15|5
N|15|20|15
E|5|15|5[/table]
Lands: A kroot’s home island is a remote island where almost all the residents are related to kroot. The leading theory among scholars is that the kroot’s ancestor, an avian predator, arrived and, eventually, took on the traits of the various native creatures of the island, including the humanoids.
Religion: Kroot have strong spiritual beliefs about who and what they eat. They believe that any worthy warrior’s spirit must be preserved, and the only way to do so is to consume the warrior’s flesh, taking a portion of their spirit in.
Language: Kroot speak their own language, which features a number of squawks, whistles, and chirps, and features a pitch element. Since they are just joining the rest of the world, most can’t speak common. They can quickly learn languages, however, and they often pick up the local language wherever they arrive on the mainland.
Names: Kroot names are pretty much unpronounceable to those who don’t speak kroot, meaning many kroot in foreign lands translate their names to the local tongue. Their names are descriptive, usually, often detailing physical traits or great accomplishments. For example One-Who-Ate-The-Knarloc, or One-Who-Laid-Many.
Adventurers: Kroot adventurers are usually those seeking glory or strength from new blood found outside their home island.

• +2 dexterity, +2 strength, -4 intelligence, -2 charisma
• Monstrous Humanoid
• Medium Size: Kroot have no special bonuses or penalties based on size.
• Kroot have a base land speed of 30 feet.
• Kroot have a bite attack that deals 1d6 points of damage
• Scent: Kroot possess the scent ability.
• Path: A kroot absorb traits from their food. This means a kroot must be aware and cautious about what they consume, to avoid gaining traits they don’t want. The kroot character selects a path from the options listed below. This path includes a taboo, which defines creatures that a kroot on that specific path is forbidden to eat. If a kroot breaks this taboo, they lose the benefits of their path for 24 hours. A kroot can identify if a creature or dish would violate their taboo by smell.
• Nymune Rush: Kroot have a special organ, a sort of supercharged adrenaline gland. A kroot can tap this reservoir, allowing them to enhance their speed and reflexes. This state grants the kroot a +1 dodge bonus to AC and reflex saves. While in this state, a kroot may make an additional attack at their highest base attack bonus when making a full attack. This attack and all other attack rolls made during their turn take a -2 penalty. A kroot can enter this state for a number of rounds each day equal to the kroot’s constitution modifier. These rounds can be divided up as the kroot chooses.
• Base Languages: Kroot. Bonus Languages: Any non-secret.
• Favored Class: Predator

Taboo: Creatures with +4 or higher natural armor
{table=head]Level|Benefit
Lv 1| +2 Dexterity, Wings
Lv 6| Partial Flight
Lv 12| Flight
Lv 18| Fast flight[/table]

A kroot on the path of the kroot hawk bears a pair of wings on their back. In the initial stages, these are batlike, covered with short quills like the rest fo their body, but as they grow in level, the wings become larger, stronger, and the quills become more and more featherlike.

Wings: A kroot on this path bears a pair of small, weak wings. Kroot can use these wings to aid their jumps (granting a +10 racial bonus on Jump checks) and to glide, negating damage from a fall from any height and allowing 20 feet of forward travel for every 5 feet of descent. Kroot glide at a speed of 40 feet with average maneuverability. Even if a kroot's maneuverability improves, they can’t hover while gliding. A kroot can’t glide while carrying a medium or heavy load. If a kroot becomes unconscious or helpless while in midair, their wings naturally unfurl, and powerful ligaments stiffen them. The kroot descends slowly in a tight corkscrew and takes only 1d6 points of falling damage, no matter the actual distance of the fall.

Partial Flight: A kroot gains a fly speed of 40 feet with average maneuverability. A kroot can’t fly while carrying a medium or heavy load or while fatigued or exhausted. A kroot can safely fly for a number of consecutive rounds equal to their Constitution modifier (minimum 1 round). They can double this length of flight but is fatigued by such exertion. The kroot is likewise fatigued after spending a total of more than 10 minutes per day flying. Because a kroot can glide before, after, and between rounds of actual flight, she can remain aloft for extended periods, even if she can only use flight for 1 round at a time without becoming fatigued.

Flight: A kroot has enough stamina and prowess to fly without tiring. They can fly at a speed of 40 feet (average maneuverability) with no more exertion than walking or running. A kroot with flight can make a dive attack. A dive attack works like a charge, but the kroot must move a minimum of 30 feet and descend at least 10 feet. A kroot can make a dive attack only when wielding a piercing weapon or posessing a claw attack. If the dive attack hits, it deals double damage. A kroot with flight can use the run action while
flying, provided they fly in a straight line.

Fast Flight: A kroot increases their fly speed to 80 feet, with good maneuverability.

Water Breathing: A kroot on this path gains the ability to breathe water as well as air.

Swim Speed: A kroot gains the ability to swim through the water as easily as a fish. They gain a +8 racial bonus to swim checks, and can take 10 on swim checks made to perform a special action or avoid a hazard. At 6th level, they can swim at a speed of 30 feet. At 12th level, a kroot can swim at a speed of 60 feet.

Chapter 4: Cooking

NEW SKILL: Cooking (Wis)
A cooking check allows a character to create extraordanary and even supernatural dishes.

For mundane purposes, a character with ranks in cooking can craft dishes of great quality. You can use a cooking check in place of a craft (cooking) or profession (chef) check.

But the true power of this skill comes to light to prepare blue magic dishes. To prepare a dish, you must have a minimum number of ranks in Cooking, as indicated in the dish entry. Cooking a blue magic dish is a process that takes one hour. A chef can prepare a number of different dishes at a time equal to their wisdom modifier. To create a dish, a character must be able to move, access the necessary ingredients, and manipulate objects. he must be able to concentrate during this time.

All dishes have a basic DC, indicated in their dish entry. The cook must beat this DC for the dish to work. Most dishes grow more powerful if you beat the DC by some number, usually 5 or 10. If you fail to beat the basic DC by 5 or fewer points, the dish simply has no effect, beyond it's nutritional value and taste. If you fail the check my 5 or more, the eater must make a fortitude save (DC 12) or be sickened for one hour. If you fail by 10 or more, the eater must make a fortitude save (DC 15) or be nauseated for one minute, and sickened for one hour thereafter.

Preparing a monster's meat for cooking requires speed. The creature's essence rapidly leaves the meat once they're dead, and as it leaves, it becomes harder to get magical effects from the meat. For every hour the ingredient creature is dead, a cook takes a -5 penalty to the check to prepare a dish from their meat. This timer can be paused with spells or effects that prevent decay, spoiling, or rot.

A dish's duration is variable, based on the result of your cooking check. With a result of 10, the dish lasts one hour. For every ten points your cooking check exceeds 10, the duration increases by one hour.

Cuts:
All creatures have eight possible cuts. When you take a cut from a creature, you cannot take another one of that cut. for example, you could not take a head cut to make Powdered Fang and a head cut to make Brilliant Brain, even if the two dishes do not require the same head-related organs. these cuts also work as 'slots' for dishes. You cannot have more than one dish active of any given cut, and you cannot have a total number of active dishes greater than your constitution modifier. These cuts are as follows.

Head
Shoulders
Arms
Hands
Chest
Waist
Legs
Skin

Servings:
Some dishes make multiple servings. This number indicates the number of that dish that are produced with a single cooking check from a single cut of the ingredient creature. Eating a serving of a dish requires at least ten minutes.

Ingredients:
Dishes require specific ingredients, sometimes a specific creature, sometimes an ability or score the creature must possess in order to be used in a dish. A cook can determine any and all dishes a creature qualifies as ingredients for with one minute of studying the body.

Some creatures are not suitable to be made into dishes, no matter what traits or qualities they possess that would indicate otherwise. Outsiders cannot be cooked because their essence instantly disperses back into their home plane once they die. Constructs cannot be cooked not only because they are usually made of inedible materials, but because they are only animated by bound elemental spirits, not their own essence. Undead cannot be cooked because their living essence has been replaced with a negative energy facsimile. Humanoids, monstrous humanoids, and giants cannot be cooked because it requires special rituals and an evil heart to capture the essence of a humanlike creature in it's meat.

This dish consists of the stomach of an Ankeg, emptied out and then stuffed with a number of its other organs, finely minced and mixed with root vegetables and a number of spices. Despite how unappetizing it sounds, it has a delicious, savory flavor, though some complain of heartburn afterwards.

The ankeg stomach gives the eater the ability to spit acid as a ranged touch attack and deal acid damage with a bite attack. If the eater possesses a bite attack, it deals an additional 1d4 points of acid damage.

This dish consists of the severed spinneret of a giant spider, drizzled with sticky, sugary syrup and baked thoroughly. The dish is surprisingly sweet and sticky, beneath a warm, crunchy shell. Some don‘t enjoy it, however, due to the tendency for the now-liquefied core of the spinnerets to stick to the eater‘s lips.

Baked Spinnerets give the eater the ability to spin webs. The eater can spin up to 50 feet of silken webbing per day. This webbing functions as silk rope, but the eater gains a +5 bonus to all use rope checks made using his webbing, and the DC of all checks made to escape from or break this webbing are increased by 4. You can choose to make this webbing sticky. Any creature touching sticky webbing must make a DC 15 reflex save or be stuck to the thread.

Delver Steak
Minimum Ranks: 12
Cut: Chest
Servings: 4
Cook DC: 30
Augment: Yes
Ingredient Creatures: Delver

This dish is a truly massive steak cut from a delver. The meat is tough and chewy, and it has an unpleasantly sour flavor to it. The delver‘s acidic slime must be washed off and the steak must be soaked in vinegar before it can finally be grilled. It is generally considered to be more work that It’s worth, but some connoisseurs have a taste for the unique flavor.

The eater of this dish produces an acidic slime from their skin, specifically from their hands. If the eater hits an opponent with a slam, claw, or melee touch attack, he deposits a patch of the mucous-like sticky slime. This slime deals damage when initially applied, then additional damage each round after that for two rounds. To organic creatures or wooden objects, this acidic slime deals 1d6 damage. To metallic creatures or objects, this slime deals 2d8 damage. To stony creatures, objects, or structures, this slime deals 4d10 damage. The slime can be washed off with a pint of water or a weak acid, like vinegar. The victim’s armor and clothing dissolve immediately unless he succeeds on a reflex save (DC 10+½ cook’s level + eater‘s con).

Ingredient Creatures: Destrachan

This dish is composed of the purplish lung of a Destrachan stuffed with breading and spices, then roasted slowly. The lung-meat is stringy and tough, but the spices and the long roasting help to make it soft enough to be palatable. It‘s got a surprisingly deep flavor, which the spices really help to bring out. The odd part is once the lungs are fully cooked, the web of veins crisscrossing the center of the lung tighten and stiffen, forming a web within the lung.

The eater of this dish gains a sonic scream attack that can be used as a standard action. This attack forms a cone 60 feet long, and all creatures within it are entitled to a reflex save (DC 10+Eater‘s Con +½ eater‘s HD) for half damage. The eater chooses flesh, nerves or material when using this attack. Choosing flesh, the attack deals 2d6 sonic damage to all creatures within the cone. If the eater chooses nerves, this attack deals 4d6 nonlethal damage to all living creatures within the cone. If the eater chooses material, he may choose glass, metal, stone, or wood, and this attack deals 2d6 sonic damage to all objects made of that material within the cone, ignoring hardness.

This dish is relatively simple to prepare, though it requires a steady hand to do so. Basically, the cook cuts three foot-long strips from the back of a pixie, one on either side of the wings and one between them, taking a half-inch of meat with them. The strips are then fried and rolled, with the skin out, into a trio of small, spiral rolls, then held together with short wooden skewers and served. The dish is generally only favored by the evil, though it‘s power can sometimes lure others.

The eater of the fade wrap can spend a swift action to turn himself and his possessions invisible, as with the invisibility spell.

Feeler Sizzle
Minimum Ranks: 6
Cut: Hand
Servings: 2

Ingredient Creatures: Rust Monster

This dish is made from the feeler of a rust monster. The preparation method is quite interesting. The feeler is first laid out and sprinkled with powdered sugar and cinnamon. Then, the feeler is held over heat. The feeler curls inward as it is exposed to heat, forming a tight, spiraled ball. Overall, eating the dish is the most usual part of the meal, as the coiled feeler makes it difficult to properly bite into. It is not particularly filling, and it has a slightly coppery aftertaste, but it‘s rather sweet.

The eater of this dish can rust any metallic object he touches. The eater can make a melee touch attack, against any metallic object to deal 2d6 points of damage to the object, ignoring hardness. This effect can also be carried by an unarmed strike, slam, or claw attack.

Floating Roast
Minimum Ranks: 9
Cut: Chest
Servings: 4
Cook DC: 25
Augment: No
Ingredient Creatures: Beholder

This dish is rather difficult to acquire, and awkward to prepare. To acquire the necessary cut, one must crack the iron-hard skull-skeleton of a beholder, then delve into the creature‘s underside, removing a loaf of meat from the area around the beholder‘s stomach and intestines. Perhaps the most unusual part of this dish is that it floats, weightless, much like a balloon. This makes it somewhat awkward to both cook and eat. The roast is slow-cooked and drizzled with a savory sauce, and served in slices. The eaters begin to feel lighter as they eat, until they eventually become almost completely weightless.

The eater of this dish gains a fly speed equal to their base land speed with perfect maneuverability. Even when not explicitly flying, the eater floats over the ground effortlessly, ignoring any difficult or hazardous terrain, as well as taking no damage from falls. If knocked unconscious or killed in midair, the eater floats gently down at 5 ft/round, eventually stopping to hover a foot off the ground.

The fingers have very little meat on them, but what meat there is has an extremely unusual flavor. It has a faint hint of peppermint.

The eater of this dish gains a +6 bonus to sleight of hand checks to lift an item from a person, as they can temporarily phase their hands through the ethereal plane to reach through pockets and such. The eater also gains the filcher’s ability to perceive and seek out magical items.

The materials are then removed, the water is reduced, and eventually, the liquid is cooled and served. In it‘s simplest form, its simply given out in bowls, but more showy chefs will cut or shape the resultant semisolid, and some even dye it.

Ingredient Creatures: Ethereal Filcher, Ethereal Marauder, Phase Spider

This dish is cut from a creature with a close connection to the ethereal plane. Oven-roasted and thoroughly seasoned, this dish is hard to get and certainly worth the effort. When properly prepared, the roast constantly hovers between the planes, only half-present in the material, but evenly there and not-there. A chef getting this dish slightly wrong may end up a meal that flickers between the planes, or one with one end in the real and the other ethereal. Done correctly, the dish is rich and flavorful, like pork, but much, much lighter and softer, and with a soft, peppermint aftertaste.

The eater of this dish gains the ability to travel quickly back and forth between the real world and the ethereal plane. As a full-round action, the eater may move to the ethereal plane, and may return to the material plane as a standard action. The eater may only stay on the ethereal plane for one round before they must return.

Augment:
For every 5 points you beat the DC by, the number of rounds the eater may remain ethereal increases by one.
If you beat the DC by 10 points, the connection grows deeper, allowing you to move over to the ethereal plane as a standard action and return as a move action.

Stuffed Gorgon Lung

Stuffed Gorgon Lung
Minimum Ranks: 11
Cut: Chest
Servings: 2
Cook DC: 28
Augment: Yes
Ingredients: Gorgon

This dish is made from the gray lungs of a gorgon, stuffed with breading and painted with sauce before being baked. The stuffing actually takes two stages, as the first stuffing gets partially petrified by residue inside the lung. If the residue isn‘t properly cleaned out by the first round of stuffing, the stuffing ends up tasting like chalk.

The eater begins to breath small puffs of gray gas. As a standard action, the eater can breathe out a 30-foot cone of gray smoke, a petrifying gas. Any creature in the area must make a fortitude save, DC 10+½ cook’s level+ eater’s con, or be partially petrified. A partially petrified creature is treated as though affected by a Slow spell, but increase the penalty to AC, attack rolls, and reflex saves to -2. The eater can breathe this cloud once per minute.

Augment:
For every 5 points you beat the DC by, the penalty inflicted increases by 1.
For every 10 points you beat the DC by, the cone’s length increases by 15 feet.

Treant Apple Crisp
Minimum Ranks: 11
Cut: Shoulder
Servings: 4
Cook DC: 28
Augment: Yes
Ingredients:

This dish is made from the apples of a treant, sliced and coated with a mix of sugars, flour, and oats. The dish is then baked until tender. In theory, one could get the ingredients for this dish without killing the treant, but very few treants are willing to give up their apples to a mortal.

The eater’s shoulders grow short, leafy branches, dotted with apples. As a full-round action, the eater can pluck one of these apples and hurl it to the ground, channeling druidic power to will the seeds within to grow. The seeds grow into a medium-sized treant sapling under your control that remains active for one minute, before rooting itself where it stands and turning into a normal sapling.

Augment:
For every 5 points you beat the DC by, the sapling improves one next step.

Unicorn Heart

Unicorn Heart
Minimum Ranks: 6
Cut: Chest
Servings: 1
Cook DC: 20
Augment: No
Ingredients: Unicorn

This dish is made from the heart of a unicorn. The heart‘s flesh is pure white, and is seems to glow with an inner light. The heart is sliced apart carefully and braised in wine. Despite the strong colors of the wine, the meat remains pure white through the entire cooking process. Evil creatures find that the meat burns in their stomach as long as the effect remains.

The eater of this dish shines with an inner, holy light. The eater is treated as though under the effects of a protection from evil spell for the duration of the dish. The eater can detect evil, as the spell, as a swift action. Finally, the eater gains the lay on hands ability as a paladin of their level.

Yrthak Horn
Minimum Ranks: 12
Cut: Head
Servings: 1
Cook DC: 30
Augment: Yes
Ingredients: Yrthak

Technically, this structure‘s not a technically a horn, but a highly specialized growth of the skull. The outer skin is peeled off, the bone is sawed from the rest of the skull and used as a dish to cook the meaty innards of the sound organ. The meat is then dug out of the cone-shaped bone by the eater with fork and knife.

The eater grows a pale green horn from their forehead. The horn allows them to create and focus rays of sonic energy called sonic lances. Firing a sonic lance is a standard action that provokes attacks of opportunity. A sonic lance is a ranged touch attack with a maximum range of 120 feet. The lance deals 6d6 points of sonic damage and ignores hardness. After firing a sonic lance, you must wait at least one round before you can use it again.

Augment:
For every 5 points you beat the DC by, the damage increases by 2d6.

Maybe one or two more...

[Admiral Squish]

Okay, NOW I should be done.

So, I've been working on and off on this project for more than a year. work has slowed to a crawl, and at this point, I doubt I'll be able to get much more done until I start getting some review and group brainstorming going on. I would love to see this finished, so I'm counting on you guys to help me out.

[Zelkon]

This is truly the greatest day. I can finally eat and play D&D at the same time.

[Domriso]

I am so intrigued. First question that occurs to me: are the dishes permanent additions to any character who eats it, or do they have durations? Further, is there a limit on how many of said dishes can be consumed by a single character?

Very much looking forward to more stuff being posted!

Dishes have a duration, but they all have the same duration, So I didn't include it in each dish entry. It's in the entry for the cooking skill, at the bottom. One hour, plus one hour per 10 ranks you have in cooking. Cooking classes will be getting a class feature to make them last longer.

Wait, every 10 ranks or check result divided by 10? The latter is probably better.

[Morph Bark]

So, you're finally getting back to this project, eh? 'Bout dern time.

Hmm... Hadn't thought of that option. Not ENTIRELY sold on it, tho.

Eager to see the actual classes in affect

Yeah, that's a big part of it. It's possible play a cook by using the game hunter ranger ACF right now, but I'm really having trouble making the original classes work.

So, you're finally getting back to this project, eh? 'Bout dern time.

Yeah, took me long enough.

[Admiral Squish]

So, right now, what I REALLY need is somebody who isn't me to go over all the dishes and see if they hold up to some basic scrutiny. Preferably one person, but if ya'll wanna break it up, that would be fine too.

I've posted the Risen in a separate thread since I did a lot of weird stuff with them and I'm hoping making it it's own thread will mean they get more specialized attention.

The qu are finished but I still don't have rules people agree on for overweight/heavyweight.

I'm working on the fluff for Kroot. Their crunch is mostly done, but I'm struggling a bit modeling the long-term changes they gain from eating fallen foes.

Once I have a decent assessment of the power level for the dishes, I can move on and get serious about working on the base classes and setting their power level. So far, I don't have much, but I always find making races and cultures more fun than making classes.

[Amechra]

You probably should limit the spellcasting ones so that you can't find a 1st level Wizard and butcher them for 9th level spells.

[Admiral Squish]

You probably should limit the spellcasting ones so that you can't find a 1st level Wizard and butcher them for 9th level spells.

Hmm... Well, there are a few things with that specific example, but the basic issue holds true. You can get high-level spellcasting from creatures with relatively low-level spellcasting powers. I see two possible fixes. One, I could put an extra limiting clause in them, stating you cannot gain spell slots in spell levels the creature does not, itself, possess. Or, it could be ignored, saying that you are, through your cooking, empowering the inherent connection of the brain/heart to the source of it's magic, allowing you to utilize spells the creature itself could not.

[ScrambledBrains]

I can't offer any help as far as balance goes, being kinda inherently uncertain in fields of that nature. However...

Grammar Log

Basic Dishes:

Arcane Mind: First DC line(Says spell ‘splot’, should be spell slot)

Crushing Coils: Flavor(HA!) text(Both it’s should be its)

Destructive Lung: Effect paragraph(After, ‘to all creatures in the area’, there should be a comma and not a period.)

Quick Digits: Title inside the spoiler says Digiits, should be Digits

Specific Dishes:

Aboleth Brain: Effect paragraph(Persistant is a misspelling, it should be Persistent). Also, it should read, ‘Image, and Veil’.

Here is a list of any grammatical or formatting errors I encountered while reading over the dishes.

[Admiral Squish]

ScrambledBrains, thanks! I fixed all the issues you pointed out. It can be a real pain to proofread that many dishes.

[Zelkon]

Hmm... Hadn't thought of that option. Not ENTIRELY sold on it, tho.

Just thought, you know, that each dish requires a cook check to make, so it might as well have an active effect on the time.

Don't mention it. I have a very immense interest in this project, being that I absolutely adored Quina Quen from FF IX, and I want to see it really prosper so that one day I can play a character similar to him/her in a game.

Edit: Not to mention that I'm just a very pedantic fellow to begin with.

[Admiral Squish]

I did the math, and it's actually about the same range of times, just dependent or the check result, instead of your ranks. It has been implemented!

Well, I can only hope I properly catch his/her essence for you.



On the subject of quina, I need some help on this trait/feat/flaw/thing before I can post the qu.

The idea is to express being overweight in mechanical terms, but it doesn't quite work as a flaw, a trait, a feat, or anything else I can think of. I want something that can be taken by any character with minimum/no investment without really throwing their overall balance off.

Here's what I've figured would be affected by a character's weight:
Penalty to balance, climb, escape artist, hide, jump, move silently, and tumble checks.
Penalty to speed. Definitely land speed, possibly fly or swim speed too.
Size bonus to grapple, bull rush, trip, and overrun checks, which stacks with existing size modifiers.
Either a small bonus to natural armor, or a small amount of damage reduction/piercing.


Also, if any of you would be so kind as to pop over to the Risen thread and leave some comments, that would be a great help.

[Blue Ghost]

Quite an interesting concept. I'll be following this to see where it leads.

One quick correction: The cut for Quick Digits is listed as Fingers. I believe that should be Hand?
