Physical Description: Taller than humans, elves, or orcs, Narmen stand at an average of 7 feet tall with a build similar to an elf who has spent too much time sitting at their desk. Narmen have coal black skin with a network of grey scars that vaguely resemble arcane runes, a remnant of their ancient powers. Due to their arcane modification, Narmen have lack all hair and possess a single long tusk jutting straight out of their mouth which they are quite familiar with not running into things, much to the perplexing of other races. Narmen nobles are visually distinguished by having longer, pointier ears, narrower eyes, more delicate fingers, and an even greater air of pomp. Nobles also claim that their scars are a lighter coloration than those of most.
Society: Most narmen are citizens of the First Amospian Empire which has divided into a number of sects and created colonies across the world. Narmen society is organized into a strict hierarchy and narmen generally follow their higher ups unquestioningly and expect those below them to do the same.
Relations: Narmen generally see themselves as superior to other races though they are not cruel only patronizing. Narmen wish to uplift the world though they generally believe that the other races will never reach them. The other races find this behavior something of a nuissance but are not afraid to take advantage of their aid as the Narmen do possess knowledge that has been collected over their millenia of research that can be of significant use.
Alignment and Religion: Narmen are gnerally lawful and good and follow Zovilla but a growing number reject her teachings though most are still lawful.
-2 Strength, +4 Dexterity, +2 Intelligence, +2 Wisdom, +2 Charisma: Narmen nobles have built up their mental acumen in order to better wield magic but, between their goddess's curse and their pursuit of purely mental tasks, their strength has withered.
Medium: Narmen nobles are Medium creatures and have no bonuses or penalties due to their size.
Monstrous Humanoid: Narmen nobles are monstrous humanoids.
Normal Speed: Narmen nobles have a base speed of 30 feet and a swim speed of 30 feet.
Extra Long Breath: Narmen are used to spending long periods of time underwater despite breathing air and are thus magically adapted to not only hold their breath for exceptionally long periods of time but also are able to speak while underwater. Narmen are able to hold their breath for 15 rounds for each point of constitution they possess before risking drowning or suffocation. They can also cast spells with verbal components, say command words, and speak while underwater without issue.
Racial Immunities: Narmen nobles are immune to magic sleep effects and gain +2 vs. enchantment spells and effects.
Spell Resistance: Narmen nobles have spell resistance equal to 11 plus their level.
Lightbringer: Narmen nobles are immune to light based blind and dazzle and cast spells with the light descriptor at +2 caster levels.
Natural Attack: Narmen nobles have a gore attack that deals 1d6 piercing damage.
Heavenborn: Narmen nobles have a +2 to knowledge planes and cast spells with the good descriptor at +1 caster level.
Spell-like Abilities: Narmen nobles can cast comprehend languages, detect magic, dispel magic, fly, light, mage armor, prestidigitation, and read magic at will.
Languages: Narmen nobles begin play speaking Narman and Common. Narmen nobles with high Intelligence scores can choose from the following languages: Abyssal, Aquan, Aztec, Celestial, Donovian, Elven, Idgyptian, Infernal, Mayan, Undercommon, and Vandalusian.
Alial races have (generally suppressed) magical energy that infuses a specific part of their body. Though this energy may be present in the object before the creature's death, alial objects are non-magical until after the creature's death and only acquire their abilities if they are still part of the creature when they die. This body part must be hard like bone or a gemstone. This object can otherwise take many different forms.
Alial objects contain a significantly strong impression of the owner's identity. Whether or not the creature is deceased, alial objects can be used as a focus for any spell that requires identifying a creature, such as scrying, to perfectly identify the owner. The owner also receives no saves against such spells.
Alial objects can also be incorporated into specific type of magic items, granting bonuses but potentially changing their effect. Alial objects do not impart their weapon properties or spell modifiers unless stated otherwise or incorporated into an item that uses them.
Description
A narman noble's alial object takes the form of the tusk which protrudes from their mouth called an alidens. When removed, this tusk can be used as a one-handed melee weapon that deals 1d6 points of piercing damage and requires exotic weapon proficiency. The tusk receives its weapon properties as well, though an alial object only has the creature's weapon properties if it was part of the creature upon their death.
