gullas 11-07-07, 03:10 PM	some time ago I posted a race but it wasn't that much noticed. SO now I'm bringing you back the new and upgraded : Nerkis Nerkis are known to be quiet types and have the tendency to look at everything from another perspective. Nerkis have followed the human from the very beginning of time but some say that Nerkis were some kind of “super beings” from other plane/s who were fleeing from their home world and sought refuge among the humans. Besides that no one knows for sure were the Nerkis come from. Not even the Nerkis themselves. They say that we are not humans , but I will tell you this , WE are more human than you could ever imagine. Fergus Hamili, Nerki fighter. Personality : Nerkis comes in all sizes and shapes and are as unpredictable as humans with the exceptions of looking at everything from another perspective. Physical description : just as the humans but more skinnier. A Nerki has light blue skin(sort of mixture from white and light blue) and usually have black hair or blue hair. An Nerki becomes an adult around the age of 24 and can become 150 years old. NOTE : Nerkis can mate with other species but the offspring is always a Nerki. No half Nerkis can be made from naturual breeding though there is a possibility of maybe unnatural breeding “could make” an half Nerki…… Note: for random height and weight and age use the same tables as humans do. It sure took lots of time explaining it to my daughter why she wasn't an elve like her mother.. Mik Folims, Nerki blacksmith. Relations : Nerkis tend to act like humans in interacting with other species and persons. Alignment : no particular , if Nerkis should have any restricted alignment it would be Neutral cause Nerkis shows equal respect to all beings. Language: automatic: common Bonus : any Names : Any... Religion :Any ….. Lands: Nerkis can be found in any land were humans are. Nerkis are almost always 1% of all humans in every city were humans live. There are thorps were only Nerkis live but those are pretty rare but not imposible. why having a village full of us when we can just stay with the humans? Odette , Nerki Cleric of pelor. Nerkis racial traits. Medium Outsider 30ft land speed abilities: -2 con , +2 wis "in the memory you shall remain": if a Nerki dies or gets killed it becomes an tiny air elemental(even if the body is still unintact ) , he or she will be able to be resurrected if remembered by anoter person(memory check) otherwise he or she will completely die and can never be resurrected. Note , the air elemental is from the MM1 and it’s a replacement for souls and Nerkis can’t be resurrected without using this ability otherwise their long forgotten and dead. In addition to that a Nerki does not however take the ability decrease or level lost after successful memory check if resurrected. cast for memory check : Nerki can be resurrected without the body according to table 1 to determine if memory check will succeed , use table 4 for an Epic Nerki char. Use table 2 ,3 for + and - on the check , note a natural 20 means only +20 on the check , not as an automatic succeed. Same counts for natural 1. If the Nerki’s wis mod is at – it will count as 0 . NOTE Nerkis can not be resurrected even if their body still remains without at least one member in the adventuring party making an memory check. Also if a Nerki in his 60 dies from a natural disease he can be resurrected by this ability (if someone remembers him) and will be able to live to his 150's. After the Nerki dies from age this ability becomes useless. For the ones who aren't getting what I'm trying to say : To be able to resurrect a Nerki , body less or not , at least one from the Nerkis adventuring party member or anybody close to the Nerki has to make the memory check otherwise its just means failure on the resurrection. LA : 0 Memory check tables : Table 1 check , check result lvl 1 32+(Nerki’s wis mod) 1d20+ (friendship mod)+(love/hate mod)+(respect mod)+( Royallity/fame/ celeb mod)+(time after death) lvl 2 31 -ll- lvl 3 30 -ll- lvl 4 29 -ll- lvl 5 28 -ll- lvl 6 28 -ll- lvl 7 27 -ll- lvl 8 27 -ll- lvl 9 26 -ll- lvl 10 26 -ll- lvl 11 25 -ll- lvl 12 24 -ll- lvl 13 23 -ll- lvl 14 22 -ll- lvl 15 21 -ll- lvl 16 20 -ll- lvl 17 19 -ll- lvl 18 19 -ll- lvl 19 18 -ll- lvl 20 18 -ll- Table 2 Person who knows a little bit about you : +1 A friend of yours : +2 Childhood friend : +4 True friend : +8 Best friend : +6 Royality/fame/celeb : +2 / -2 or +4/-4 Lover : +6 / -2 Family member : +6 Distant family member : +2/ -2 Good leadership : +2/-2 Super natural powers : +1 / +0 Person who disliked you : -1 / +1 Person who wants to harm you (no personal connections): -2 / +2 Person who wants to harm you (personal connections : -4 / +4 Person who hates you : -6 / +4 Bad leadership : -2 / +2 Table 3 TIME AFTER DEATH : 1 day : +6 / -4 1 week: +4 / -4 1 month: +2 / -2 1 year: +4 / -1 5 year: -4 / +4 10 year: -6 / +4 TABLE 4 Epic Nerki character Every fifth lvl the modifier drops down by one starting from lvl 20 check , check result lvl 21 18+(nerki’s wis mod) 1d20+(friendship mod)+(love/hate mod)+(respect mod)+( Royalt/fame/celeb mod)+(time after death) lvl 22 18 -ll- lvl 23 18 -ll- lvl 24 18 -ll- lvl 25 17 -ll- lvl 26 17 -ll- lvl 27 17 -ll- lvl 28 17 -ll- lvl 29 17 -ll- lvl 30 16 -ll- Note these tables are only an option; you can change them if you like.

Silverclaw 11-10-07, 07:47 AM	I like the idea... but i don't understand the part abut being recurrected by being remembered... does this mean that when they die the rest of the party just have to remember it and then it will return to life??
gullas 11-12-07, 08:35 AM	no it means that one of the party member has to make an memory check in order for the Nerki to even being resurected at all and while the nerki is in it air elemental form he can comunicate with the remaining party members in hope of being resurected.
