====== Pheresata ====== ===[species]=== ~~TOC~~ **Pronunciation**: (FAIR-eh-sah-tah)\\ **Homeworld**: [[galaxy:Pharis]]\\ **Empire**: [[galaxy:Pharis Ascendency]]\\ The pheresata are similar to [[Humans]] and have large wings which give them the capability to fly short distances, or to glide on currents of air. The Pheresata are logical, lawful, and practical, having a well developed sense of etiquette. From a young age, Pheresata children are taught to cultivate gracefulness in their physical movementments, flight, as well as in their personality and behavior \\ ==== Physical description ==== Pheresata Hydromancer As with their [[humans|human]] counterparts, their skin color, body type, and facial features vary greatly. Protruding from the upper shoulders are bones which arch out and then up and out, on which their wings are built. Their wingspan is 10-15 feet, though the wings can fold down to be fairly compact, folding together but still relatively off the body. Their wings are made of feathers of varying size and texture. The bone density throughout their bodies is significantly lower than their human counterparts \\ ==== Relations ==== The Pheresata have amicable relations with most of the galaxy, though their interactions are limited as the Pheresata tend to avoid interaction with other species when possible. Other species tend to perceive the Pheresata as being formal, sometimes to a fault \\ ==== Adventurers ==== A minority of Pheresata do seek out the company of other species and seek adventure among the stars. Those that do often have personalities similar to human adventurers \\ ==== Species traits ==== **Hit Point Formula:** //Res + 2d6 + 2//\\ **Avian Agility:** +2 Dexterity, +1 Intelligence\\ **Medium:** +1 bonus to grapple maneuvers against smaller targets\\ **Movement Speed:** Pheresta have a base movement speed of 30 feet\\ **Flight:** Pheresta have a flight speed of 80 feet, minimum 40 feet\\ **Darkvision**: Pheresta can see in [[glossary#d|low light conditions]] as in broad daylight, up to 30 feet\\ **Grace:** Gain [[Acrobatics]] as a Skill Focus at level 1\\ \\ ==== Physical characteristics ==== ^Characteristic^Description^ |Life Exp.|130-140 years| |Adulthood|25 years| |Diet|Plants, Meat, Dairy, Water| |Sexes|F, M, N| |Eye colors|Brown, Black, Green, Blue, Grey| |Hair Color|Black, Brown, Blond, Red, White| |Skin Color|Flesh tones from very dark to very pale| |Wing Color|Brown/White/Grey, Brown/White/Orange, Blue/White/Black, Black, White| |Wing Span|15' 2" - 21' 3"| |Height Range (adult)|5' - 6' 3"| |Weight Range (adult)|80-180 lbs| |[[wiki:sizes|Size]] Category|Medium| |Base Movement Speed|30 feet| |Swim Speed|15 feet| |Burrow Speed (if applicable)|15 feet| |Flight Speed|80 feet maximum, 40 feet minimum| \\ ==== Neodra ==== While the majority of the Pheresata are female or male, roughly twenty percent are born without reproductive organs. These Pheresata are called Neodra (NAY-oh-drah), and they are incapable of reproducing. Physically speaking, the Neodra are physically superior to their counterparts in some way, either in physical strength or dexterity, or in their intelligence or will. Player characters that choose to play Neodra gain a +1 bonus to the attribute of their choosing.
