X0_Lt_0X 12-04-07, 02:20 AM	I been thinking about creating this race for a while, however Im kind of at a lost in how to do so. My idea is this: A being which can live forever but must transfer his Soul into a Soulless Body. These beings can be born from any sentient living race. similar in the way sorcerers hit there "puberty", unmortals show signs at a young age. Pepole around unmortals feel emotionally drained (-1 to Will in a 10 foot radius). These effects are prologues to there soul sucking abilities. Most of these beings live there lives out unaware of there abilities, however some learn of them and learn to control them. I believe Unmortals should have some ability which allows them to suck souls out of people and be able to transfer there souls to the soulless body. I guess they may have charming abilities too. They cant transfer there soul to a dead body. If there present body dies, then they die too. Alignment: Unmortals are a race which can live forever but uselly go insane thru the years, Hense forth they cannot be of a Lawful alignment. Age: They do not gain wisdom bonuses for there age Stats: When they transfer to a body they lose there former STR, DEX, And CON Scores and gain the new bodys Stat Scores. They retain there INT, WIS, and CHA scores. As for the rest I at a lose please help me construct this Idea into a functioning, playable race =3 Also if theres a similar race already made, let me know

My idea is this: A being which can live forever but must transfer his Soul into a Soulless Body. These beings can be born from any sentient living race. similar in the way sorcerers hit there "puberty", unmortals show signs at a young age. Pepole around unmortals feel emotionally drained (-1 to Will in a 10 foot radius). These effects are prologues to there soul sucking abilities. Most of these beings live there lives out unaware of there abilities, however some learn of them and learn to control them. I like the race. I think you should allow a Saving throw on the -1 Wis. I believe Unmortals should have some ability which allows them to suck souls out of people and be able to transfer there souls to the soulless body. I guess they may have charming abilities too. They cant transfer there soul to a dead body. If there present body dies, then they die too. Alignment: Unmortals are a race which can live forever but uselly go insane thru the years, Hense forth they cannot be of a Lawful alignment. Soul Sucking makes them seem like they would be evil, Instead of Soul Sucking, what if they automatically "Jumped" into the nearest body, living or otherwise, but not dead (limit range to maybe 50ft.), if there is no body in that range then the Unmortal dies. When they do change bodies in this way the "New" body's original soul is destroyed. This would have very interesting Roleplaying aspects, like for example, Say an Unmortal is mortally wounded, and the only person around was their lover or other person they cared deeply for. The Unmortal would jump into their body, destroying their soul, the effect would be traumatic and could easily drive them to madness. This would also keep them from coming off as evil, and make them almost tragic. I think you should also limit their control of it, and into what bodies they can Jump (HD Equal or Less, then current body.). Age: They do not gain wisdom bonuses for there age Stats: When they transfer to a body they lose there former STR, DEX, And CON Scores and gain the new body’s Stat Scores. They retain there INT, WIS, and CHA scores. Why would they still get the bonuses to Int and Cha, and not Wis? I completely agree with them keeping their Int, Wis, and Cha, from jump to jump. Those a just few thoughts I had.

Yes i guess SOUL SUCKING sounds evil, however I don't want the victim to be effectively destroyed. Maybe a Unmortal pushes the current soul of a body out, effectively ending the persons life, in which case being sent to the underworld (land of the dead, Hades, etc.). Or better yet, when a Unmortal invades a body he destroys most of it and a tiny bit becomes apart of his soul, causing over a long period of time a change in personality or even a split-personality. Maybe the souls haunt the Unmortal until he dies (which may never happen). And of course, the victim would get a save. 3.Scrap what i said about age :D
