I`ve decided to make a race called Frehdi (you are welcome to come with better ideas) wich is a sort of shadow race. they are like humans, without mouth, nose etc. they are made out of a sort of black dripping substance. and then comes the best part. the psionic graft weapon. they will have weapons grafted permanently to their hands, but they suffer no penalty on hand based skills. i`ve decided on the human names on the different ranks.(all you creative people can come for uniqe names for evry rank) could some of you try and come (if you bother) with some ideas on rules for them? i have made my own, but i need ideas. and if yours are better... And the names in their order of CR. starting with the lowest class, and what weapon they have grafted: Fetcher ( two shortswords) Archer (shortbow) Runner (two shortswords) Hunter ( Can swith between longbow and two lonswords) Fighter ( two longswords) Archer captin (compsite longbow) Captin (two battleaxes) Beastmaster (whip) sargeant ( Halbeard*) General ( Greatsword*) *needs two hands. wields in one hand untill battle. then the other hand grafts in to the weapon.

I think you might get more help stating these guys on the monster boards because they don't appear to be meant for PCs. They need a little more fluff, the most important thing is motivation, what does a typical Frehdi want?
happyalldaylong 07-01-07, 04:36 PM	Well, at first. thats only what thoose guys USUALLY have. Good point there. Goal: Make my campagn world evil. They want to open gates to the hells and the abyss, Destroy lots and lots of towns, and taint the land. so the world becomes evil, even if they are not the ones that rule it true, you guessed right. they ARE monsters. i`m working on the statistics, but i`m having a TINY little wee of troubles
Rerecros 07-01-07, 04:52 PM	why would they whant to open portal to both the hells and the abyss? What master do they serve? How are they made/born?
Holy_Beholder 07-01-07, 05:14 PM	http://www.flashportal.com/movies/dendyn_dynasties.html So the evil guys are kind of like the shadowy guys in that movie? I would give them the ability to kind of turn into an ooze, and grow any weapon they want, at least for higher ups. The categories would be a bit different, and they would develop into the other categories by consuming people. Dark Figure-Completely Solid, natural weapons. +2 str. Dark Stretcher-Mostly Solid, can stretch limbs. +2 str, +2 dex. 10 ft reach. Dark Gel-Mostly Liquid, Regeneration 2/Bludgeoning or Magic. +4 dex Dark Ooze-Fully liquid, Regeneration 4/Magic. Can change size 1 category. Can generate ooze weapons. +4 str, +4 dex Dark Vapor-Fully liquid, can turn to gas. Regeneration 4/Magic, DR5/-. Can change to any size, can grow any weapon. +4 str, +6 dex, +2 con. Dark Phantom-As dark vapor, but can become ethereal and invisible, and has an eldritch blast like ability for 5d6 negative energy, as a free action.

Theese guys were created when a flock of advanturers travvled to the shadowplane. they were being payed to get some dangerous creatures to a gnome wizard. one of these guys managed to step in a pit, of something that looked like tar. This was actually the material that these guys were made out of. this crawled up his leg and jumped to the others. they were draped in this substanse, mindless. their weapons got grafted into their skin. hilts diseparing. the weapons also became black. no control over theyr old feelings, but they were more cunning, and evil. they snared other advantures, and even other creatures from other planes, like the gith. they hereby evolved to a great people. snaring more people theese are still evolving. Graham is their leader. he is the god of chaos. he found out of this happenig, and swooped down on the first guy that was snared. he used a mighty spell, and took permanent control over this people, and giving them even more power.

It doesn't need to be psionic and you could change the fluff so it appears they pull the weapon from their own bodies. 3. Try this Shadow Aura (SU): A --- is perpetually surrounded by a cloak of shadow. As a result they gain a +4 bonus on hide check in shadowy illumination.
