Musojen are very friendly and charming creatures. They are good at settling arguments and patiently listening to those who need someones shoulder to cry on. Despite their diplomatic natures they care little for politics. They prefer a life of artistic expression and creative practice. Their patient friendly natures also allow them to be at one with the sometimes inexplicable innocent nature of children. One of their most intresting features however is their inherent feminity regardless of gender. They can be sensitive and over emotional, but they are forgiving and respectful of others lifestyle choice. They seem to have an unusually potent fear of death, either of their own or of those they know. This is probably linked to their unusual phobia of undead beings. Musojen stand around 4 1/2 feet tall, standing a head taller than dwarves but a head shorter than elves. They weigh around 75 to 95 pounds. They have slim feminine bodies and hairless exotic yellow skin and black bands going around their arms, neck and legs. They have no nose and their head is like that of a female deer. Their feet are somewhat hoof-like, but they have 3 toes on the front of its circumfrence like a rhino or an elephant would have. The only hair they have is on their head so either gender like to keep it long, luxurious and well-kept. They have two small blunt horns on each of their temples that are black in color with bands of yellow going around them. Regardless of gender they all look feminine. Infact male and female Musojen have identical larynxs and voice-boxes, so men speak at the same picth and tone as women in their society. Those who are not familiar with Musojen may have to take a few minutes to figure out who in a group of Musojen is male. Musojen have feathery tails that get bigger and longer due to their age. Babies dont have any but as the child grows so do their feathers, which are small and fluffy to begin with. As the grow older they become longer and stiffer. The oldest Musojen have massive peacock-like plumage, and al though the color has faded by then they far from unimpressive. Their feathers are at their best during the age of 20 to 30 years. The feathers are always black with blue, magenta, violet, cyan or purple patterning. The movements of these feathers also work as a sort of sign language that only other Musojen understand. They reach adulthood at 18 and live around 90 years. Musojen speak common and muso, a gregarious tounge that sounds like a cross between elven and gnome with a slight oriental hint. In truth however their language is actually a sub-text of Sylvan, perhaps something to do with their rumored Fey ancestry. COMBAT Musojen hate violence and tend to stay out of it. They'll first try diplomatic tactics, and if that fails they usually draw their weapons and take on their opponents with magical tactics in a group. Submissive appearance (Ex): Because of their charm and grace a Musojen if it so desires can attempt to make itself seem as non-threatening and submissive as possible. If they choose to do this, their opponents must must make a Will save (DC 10 + Cha modifier). If they fail they become one level friendlier towards the Musojen, for example a hostile NPC will become unfriendly. If they suceed their Will save they suffer no penalty and gain an attack of opportunity against the Musojen. If there is more than one Musojen, the DC gains a +2 circumstance bonus, up to a maximum of +6. Constructs, oozes, plants, undead, vermin and other Musojen are unaffected by this. Undead Phobia (Ex): Musojen suffer a -2 morale penalty to attack rolls against undead, due to their fear of them. However they may make a Will save (DC 10 + undead opponents Cha modifier) to overcome the phobia for 2d4 rounds. Healing touch (Sp): Once per day, a Musojen can cast cure light wounds as a 5th level Druid. If a child of adolescent age or under is touched by a Musojen, the Musojen at will can cure each child of 1 wound per day as though casting cure minor wounds. A Musojen cannot use its healing ability on itself, but it can heal and be healed by other Musojen. Affinity to children: Musojen adore children and have an innate understanding of their somewhat incoherent natures, hence they gain a +1 innate bonus on Diplomacy (stacking with their racial bonus) checks when dealing with humanoid children who are of adolescent age or under. Skills: Musojen gain a +2 racial bonus on Diplomacy, Gather Information and Heal checks. They also gain a +2 racial bonus on Appraise checks that are related to healing potions or medicinal items, since they Musojen grow up among a hospitable and medically well-stocked culture. MUSOJEN SOCIETY Musojen often live in lush forests, often those that are enchanted in some way. They like to have plentiful supplies of water, medicine and herbs. Infact their isn't much that a Musojen forest does'nt supply. Musojen in human lands are generally child-minders or medicinal alchemists, sometimes working as traders to-and-fro human and Musojen lands. Musojen will worship any god who is benevolant and cares for his or her worshippers. They have an adoring respect for gods like Ehlonna, Pelor and the like. The godess who created the Musojen race is named Tensh'iri. She looks like a tall four armed Musojen with large butter-fly like wings that shift with eldricth colors. She teachs to comfort the innocent and traumatized. Hence her clerics tend to aid the injured in times of strife. She grants the Charm, Good, Healing and Protection domains. MUSOJEN CHARACTERS A Musojen's favored class is Sorceror. Their leaders tend to be Sorceror/Rogues or Sorceror/Clerics.
