The Klazzor are a desert dwelling race. They are completely hairless, tall, dark skinned, and lanky. They often wander around the desert trading. They are experts at navigating through seemingly endless desert. Klazzors are tough, and not the most social people

Klazzor Racial Traits

+2 Constitution, -2 Charisma
Medium Humanoid
Base Landspeed 30 ft
All Klazzori can go twice as long without water without making a constitution check twice as long as humans.
Klazzori don't need to make saves against extreme heat until the temperature gets up to 120 degrees
Swim Through the Sand (Su): All Klazzori can swim through sand or any lightly packed and fine sediment. For example, a Klazzori can't swim through gravel, but they can swim through ash. Swimming through sand is treated as swimming through water for all skill checks and other rules (such as having armor while swimming)
All Klazzori gain proficiency with the scimitar
Automatic Languages: Common, Klazzori. Bonus Languages: Halfing, Elven, Ignan, Goblin, Orc

The smin through sand is a little wonky.
I mean there is no such thing as calm/rough/stormy sand, and if he fails does he sink to the bottom of the dessert :confused:
A burrow speed is more appropriate.

Looks good so far, IMO i say you add a skill bonus or two for flavor purposes, such as +2 Survival or +2 Swim checks. Otherwise, looks good.

Is this a better version of the sand swimming thing?

Swim Through the Sand (Su): All Klazzori can swim through sand or any lightly packed, dry, and fine sediment. For example, a Klazzori can't swim through gravel, but they can swim through ash. When unencumbered and wearing light or no armor a Klazzor swims through sand at his/her base land speed. The sandswimming speed of a Klazzor is affected the same way walking is affected by armor and encumbrance. Klazzori can breath without any problems while swimming through the sand.

well the problem is that when making swim checks, it's only when the water gets rough and stormy are swim checks a problem, but sand doesn't get rough and stormy so the DCs are always the same, and are something of a moot point, also if the check fails by five or more, how can he sink into a dessert?

Otherwise these guys are fine

It's not treated as a swim check anymore. it's sort of like walking. I didn't give a burrow speed simply because that would let Klazzori go through anything that isn't solid rock. I just wanted them to be able to swim through sandlike stuff.
