New Races: Aasimar and Tiefling

Planetouched

Planetouched is a general word to describe someone who can trace his or her bloodline back to an outsider, usually a fiend or celestial.

The effects of having a supernatural being in one’s heritage last for many generations. Although not as dramatically altered as a half-celestial or a half-fiend, planetouched still retain some special qualities.

Aasimar and tiefling are the most common planetouched varieties. Aasimars are humans with some trace of celestial blood in their veins, and tieflings have some fiendishness in their family tree.

0.91.43 update (8 July 2021)

Added 2 powerful races with level adjustment: Catfolk and Hobgoblin

Powerful Races and Level Adjustments

Some races are more powerful than normal races. These races have a racial trait called level adjustment.

When create a powerful race character, add the level adjustment to the character level to get the effective character level, i.e. character level + level adjustment = effective character level.

When level up the character, use the effective character level to determine the experience points needed. Therefore, the character requires more experience points to level up than a normal character. In other words, powerful race characters level up more slowly than normal characters.

Powerful race characters still use the actual character level to determine other stats, such as hit points, skill points, gaining feats, etc.

Generally speaking, a powerful race character cannot be added to an adventure party as an initial character. Only a high enough level adventure party can recruit powerful race characters.

Added detailed background descriptions (Physical Description, Society, Relations, Alignment and Religion, Adventurers, Names, etc.) for following races:

Human
Elf
Half-elf
Dwarf
Gnome
Halfling
Half-orc
Orc
Goblin
Hobgoblin
Kobold
Catfolk

Others:

Fixed: Adventure mode Flee UI mess up
Fixed: Some too long tips of Create Character UI

0.91.42 update (24 June 2021)

10 New Spells:

Iron Body

This spell transforms your body into living iron, which grants you several powerful resistances and abilities.

You gain:

But meanwhile you suffer:

Mind Fog

Mind fog produces a bank of thin mist that weakens the mental resistance of those caught in it.

Creatures in the mind fog take a -10 competence penalty on Wis checks and Will saves. A creature that successfully saves against the fog is not affected and need not make further saves.

Affected creatures take the penalty as long as they remain in the fog and for 2d6 rounds thereafter.

The fog is thin and does not significantly hamper vision.

Mind Blank

The subject is protected from all mind-affecting spells and effects.

Bestow Curse

You place a curse on the subject.

Choose one of the following effects:

Remove Curse

Remove curse instantaneously removes all curses on a creature.

Ghoul Touch

Imbuing you with negative energy, this spell allows you to paralyze a single living humanoid for the duration of the spell with a successful melee touch attack.

Additionally, the paralyzed subject exudes a carrion stench that causes all living creatures (except you) in a 10-foot-radius spread to become sickened (Fortitude negates). A neutralize poison spell removes the effect from a sickened creature, and creatures immune to poison are unaffected by the stench.

Remove Paralysis

You can free one or more creatures from the effects of any temporary paralysis or related magic, including a ghoul's touch or a slow spell.

If the spell is cast on one creature, the paralysis is negated.

If cast on two creatures, each receives another save with a +4 resistance bonus against the effect that afflicts it.

If cast on three or four creatures, each receives another save with a +2 resistance bonus.

Flesh to Stone

The subject, along with all its carried gear, turns into a mindless, inert statue.

If the statue resulting from this spell is broken or damaged, the subject (if ever returned to its original state) has similar damage or deformities.

Only creatures made of flesh are affected by this spell.

Stone to Flesh

This spell restores a petrified creature to its normal state. The creature must make a DC 15 Fortitude save to survive the process.

Neutralize Poison

Detoxify any sort of venom in the creature touched. The target suffers no additional effects from the poison, and any temporary effects are ended.

The target is immune to any poison during the duration of the spell. It need not make any saves against poison effects applied to it.

The spell does not reverse instantaneous effects, such as hit point damage, temporary ability damage, or effects that don't go away on their own.

v0.91.28 Patch Notes (5 July 2020)

New Class - Monk

Unarmed Strike

Monks are highly trained in fighting unarmed, giving them considerable advantages when doing so.

A monk's attacks may be with either fist interchangeably or even from elbows, knees, and feet. This means that a monk may even make unarmed strikes with her hands full. There is no such thing as an off-hand attack for a monk striking unarmed. A monk may thus apply her full Str bonus on damage rolls for all her unarmed strikes.

As the monk level increases, her unarmed strikes have more attacks (1 extra attack at 8th and 15th) and damage.

Small, Medium and Large Monk Unarmed Damage:
Level Small Medium Large
1 1d4 1d6 1d8
4 1d6 1d8 2d6
8 1d8 1d10 2d8
12 1d10 2d6 3d6
16 2d6 2d8 3d8
20 2d8 2d10 4d8

When this ability is actived as a switch ability, you always make unarmed strikes in melee, even holding a melee weapon.

Flurry of Blows

When unarmored, a monk may strike with a flurry of blows at the expense of accuracy.

Lv 1: +1 extra attack. All attacks made that round takes a –2 penalty.
Lv 5: the penalty lessens to –1.
Lv 9: the penalty disappears.
Lv 11: +1 extra attack.

When using flurry of blows, a monk may attack only with unarmed strikes or with special monk weapons. When with unarmed strikes, the extra attacks from Unarmed Strike count.

A monk always applies her full Str bonus to damage rolls of a flurry of blows.

When wearing armor, using a shield, or carrying a medium or heavy load, the monk cannot use this ability.

AC Bonus

A monk is highly trained at dodging blows, and she has a sixth sense that lets her avoid even unanticipated attacks.

When unarmored and unencumbered, the monk adds her Wisdom bonus to her AC. In addition, a monk gains a +1 bonus to AC every 5 monk levels (+1 at 5th, +2 at 10th, ...).

These bonuses to AC apply even against touch attacks or when the monk is flat-footed.

She loses these bonuses when she is immobilized or helpless, when she wears any armor, when she carries a shield, or when she carries a medium or heavy load.

Fast Movement

A monk gains a +2 enhancement bonus to her speed every 3 levels (+2 at 3rd, +4 at 10th, ..., +20 at 30th).

A monk in armor, using a shield, or carrying a medium or heavy load loses this extra speed.

Still Mind

A monk gains a +2 bonus on saving throws against mind-affecting spells and effects, since her meditation and training improve her resistance to mind-affecting attacks.

Ki Strike

A monk's unarmed attacks are empowered with ki which improves with her monk level.

Her unarmed attacks are treated as specific types of weapons for the purpose of dealing damage to creatures with damage reduction:
Lv 4: magic weapons
Lv 7: cold iron and alchemical silver weapons
Lv 10: lawful weapons
Lv 16: adamantine weapons

In addition, +1 enhancement bonus to her unarmed strikes every 5 levels (+1 at 5th, +2 at 10th, ...).

(Cold iron and lawful weapons related monsters are in development)

Slow Fall

A monk within arm's reach of a wall can use it to slow her descent. When calculate the distance of the fall, reduce by 5 feet per monk level. At 20th level, she can fall any distance without harm.

Purity of Body

A monk gains control over her body's immune system. She gains immunity to all diseases except for supernatural and magical diseases.

(Diseases are in development)

Wholeness of Body

A monk can heal her own wounds. She can heal a number of hit points of damage equal to her monk level x (2 + her Wis bonus / 2) each day, and she can spread this healing out among several uses.

Diamond Body

A monk is in such firm control of her own metabolism that she gains immunity to poisons of all kinds.

Abundant Step

A monk can slip magically between spaces once per day.

Diamond Soul

A monk gains spell resistance equal to her current monk level + 10."},-- In order to affect the monk with a spell, a spellcaster must get a result on a caster level check (1d20 + caster level) that equals or exceeds the monk's spell resistance.

Quivering Palm

A monk can set up vibrations within the body of another creature that can thereafter be fatal if the monk so desires.

When this ability is actived, if the monk strikes successfully and the target takes damage from the blow, the quivering palm attack succeeds.

Thereafter the monk can try to slay the victim at any later time, as long as the attempt is made within a number of days equal to her monk level. To make such an attempt, the monk merely wills the target to die: the monk level/2 + Wis modifier vs. the target's Fortitude. If succeed, it dies. If failed, the quivering palm effect disappears.

Creatures immune to critical hits cannot be affected.

Timeless Body

A monk no longer takes penalties to her ability scores for aging and cannot be magically aged. Any such penalties that she has already taken, however, remain in place. The monk still dies of old age when her time is up.

(Aging is in development)

Tongue of the Sun and Moon

A monk can speak with any living creature.

(Languages are in development)

Empty Body

A monk can enter the Ethereal Plane and become ethereal.

For the duration of the ability, the monk is in a place called the Ethereal Plane, which overlaps the normal, physical, Material Plane. When the ability expires, she returns to material existence.

She may go ethereal on a number of different occasions during any single day, as long as the total number of rounds spent in an ethereal state does not exceed her monk level.

For the Material Plane, she is invisible and insubstantial. However, she can see and hear on the Material Plane, but everything looks gray and ephemeral. Sight and hearing onto the Material Plane are limited to 60 feet.

Normally, ethereal creatures and material creatures can't attack each other. Ethereal creatures treat other ethereal creatures and ethereal objects as if they were material.

As an insubstantial creature, the monk can move through solid objects, including living creatures. When the ability expires and she become material while inside a material object (such as a solid wall), she is shunted off to the nearest open space and take 1d6 points of damage per 5 feet that she so travel.

Perfect Self

A monk has tuned her body with skill and quasi-magical abilities to the point that she becomes a magical creature.

The monk gains damage reduction 10/magic. She is forevermore treated as an outsider rather than as a humanoid for the purpose of spells and magical effects. For instance, charm person does not affect her. But the monk can still be brought back from the dead.

Stunning Fist

Stunning Fist forces a foe damaged by your unarmed attack to make a Fortitude saving throw (1/2 your character level + your Wis modifier vs. foe's Fortitude), in addition to dealing damage normally. A defender who fails this saving throw is stunned for 1 round.

You can turn this feat on/off in combat.

Uses per day: Character level/4.
