Xesa

Xesa Racial Characteristics
Xesa are defined by their class levels—they do not possess racial Hit Dice. As a xesa, you possess the following racial characteristics.

• +4 Intelligence, -2 Wisdom, -2 Strength: You are intensely curious beings with a need to know everything; they lack the sophistication to apply that knowledge, however, and their plant-like nature precludes great strength.
• Algiod: You are a race of humanoids who share their lineage with a species of carnivorous plants. You are a humanoid with the algiod subtype.
• Medium: You are a Medium creature with no penalties or benefits due to size.
• Slow Speed: You rarely hurry, content to amble around and enjoy the scenery. You have a based speed of 20, but this is never modified by armor or encumbrance.
• Low-light Vision: You can see in areas of low-light without penalty.
• Xesa Immunities: You are immune to paralysis, polymorph, and poison. Additionally, you gain a +2 racial bonus to resist the mind descriptor.
• Cold Vulnerability: You are vulnerable to the cold descriptor.
• Pheromone Effects (Sp): You have developed extraordinary powers based on your ancestor-plant’s ability to generate pheromones to defend itself and attract prey. You may use sanctuary and eagle’s splendor once per day.
• Scentless: When not generating pheromones, you give off a smell that matches your local natural environment. They cannot be tracked or detected using the scent special ability. This ability does not work underground or in cities.
• Treespeech: You possess the truespeech (plants only) special quality.
• Languages: Xesa begin play speaking Common and Sylvan. Xesa characters with high intelligence scores can choose from the following: Boggard, Elven, Polyglot, Terran, Treant, and Vegepygmy.
