Aasimar

Clergy Member: You belong to a particular faith, and your religious leaders see you as a mortal aspect of their deity. You are treated with respect and graciousness whenever you visit a temple of your faith. You receive a +1 trait bonus on Influence checks when interacting with ordained members of your religion, and once per week you can request aid from a temple of your faith. The GM has final say in what sort of aid you can reasonably request, but in general you may ask for the casting of a 1st-level spell or for an inexpensive nonmagical item.

Innocent: No one can believe someone as pure as you could be deceptive in any way. You have an air of innocence about you, and people have a hard time believing you could ever do anyone harm. When you make an Influence check to tell a lie, your target always wants to believe you, granting you the standard +5 bonus on your check. This bonus only applies if the lie you tell is either believable or unlikely.

Martyr's Blood: You carry the blood of a self-sacrificing celestial, and strive to live up to your potential for heroism. As long as your current hit point total is less than half of your maximum hit points possible, you gain a +1 trait bonus on attack rolls against evil foes.

Catfolk

Canopy Prowler: You learned to hunt from above, where your prey seldom searches for danger. You gain a +1 trait bonus on climb checks, and Athletics is always a class skill for you. If you possess the climber racial feature, you also gain a +1 trait bonus on Stealth checks while climbing.

Cat Napper: You’re good at catching a little shut-eye in between all of your other daily activities to ensure that you get plenty of rest each day. Any nap of at least a 1-hour duration during the day may be subtracted from the usual eight hours of rest needed to recover hit points normally. If you take at least four such naps in addition to a normal 8-hour rest, you recover hit points and ability damage at double the normal rate (as if you had spent a full day of downtime resting in bed).

Dhampir

Desecrated Birth: You were birthed under the auspices of evil rites and signs. You gain a +2 trait bonus on saving throws against spells and effects with the good descriptor.

You gain any subtypes inherent to that race, and you may qualify for any feats that list that race as a prerequisite as though you were a member of that race. You must meet any additional prerequisites as usual.

Left for Dead: As an infant, you were left for dead by fearful parents. You were raised by the children of the night: bats, rats, and wolves. You can influence such animals as though with the druid’s wild empathy class feature, using your total Hit Die -2 in place of your druid level.

Unidentifiable Appeal: The unnatural symmetry of your face gives you an attractiveness that is at once captivating but hard to quantify. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Disguise checks and a +1 trait bonus on Influence checks made to influence those who would be attracted to you.

​

Duskwalker

Mask Affinity: You have fashioned a particularly splendid, artistic, or fearsome mask compared to other duskwalkers, and the hard work you put into the mask mirrors your own deeper affinity for it. You receive a +1 trait bonus to all saving throws against negative energy effects, death effects, and energy drain while wearing your mask.

Glory of Old: In your veins flows the blood of dwarven heroes. You receive a +1 trait bonus on saving throws against spells, spell-like abilities, and poison.

Spellcaster's Anathema: You see arcane magic as untrustworthy and its use as a calamity waiting to happen. You gain a +1 trait bonus on attack rolls against arcane spellcasters.

Elf

Forlorn: Having lived outside of traditional elven society for much or all of your life, you know the world can be cruel, dangerous, and unforgiving of the weak. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Fortitude saves.

Serene Mindscape: Elven culture is one of peace; a tradition that you exemplify. You gain a +1 trait bonus on saving throws against mind-affecting spells with the fear or emotion descriptors.

Gnome

Animal Friend:  You’ve long been a friend to animals, and feel safer when animals are nearby. Handle Animal is always a class skill for you, and you gain a +1 trait bonus on Will saving throws as long as an animal (Tiny or larger, must be at least indifferent toward you) is within 30 feet.

Naturally Gifted: For unknown reasons, you have deeper reserves of magical energy than those around you. Perhaps you are descended from a family of powerful arcane casters, or maybe you believe this trait marks you as destined for magical greatness. Wherever the truth lies, you gain an additional use of one of your gnome magic spell-like abilities each day. This does not always have to be the same spell-like ability — one day you might use dancing lights twice, only to use the additional casting for speak with animals the next day.

Prankster: You always have a great idea for a prank. You gain a +1 trait bonus on dirty trick combat maneuver checks. You also gain a +1 trait bonus to your CMD when an opponent attempts a dirty trick combat maneuver check against you. If you succeed at a dirty trick combat maneuver check against a flat-footed opponent, increase the duration of the condition caused by 1 round.

Zealot: You aren’t just faithful to the worship of your patron deity — you are obsessively loyal to all of the faith’s tenets and guidelines.

Helpful: You see nothing wrong with letting others achieve greatness so long as the job gets done. Whenever you successfully perform an aid another action, you grant your ally a +4 bonus instead of the normal +2.

Lettered: You can read a smattering of most languages and know enough to make pretty good guesses about the rest. Linguistics is a class skill for you, and you gain a +1 trait bonus on Linguistics checks made for the purpose of deciphering writing in an unfamiliar language. You never draw a false conclusion if you fail your Linguistics check; instead, you simply realize you cannot make sense of the writing.

Well-Informed: You make it a point to know everyone and to be connected to everything around you. You frequent the best taverns, attend all of the right events, and graciously help anyone who needs it. You gain a +1 trait bonus on gather information checks and on Knowledge (civilization) checks.

Ifrit

Fiery Glare: You are able to use your unearthly nature to frighten others. You can always take 10 on Influence checks made to intimidate.

Snap Ignition: You are a pyromaniac by nature and love nothing more than setting fires. As a full-round action, you can produce a small flame at the end of your finger that ignites combustible materials as a tindertwig. Alternatively, you can maintain a flame equivalent to a candle by spending a standard action each round to concentrate on it.

​

Samsaran

Flash of Memory: You gain brief flashes of insight from your past lives at a moment’s notice.

Seedling

Fast Striker: Your family or clan has been in a constant state of combat since before you were born.

Gift of Breath: Your heritage has blessed you with powerful lungs. You can hold your breath for a number of rounds equal to four times your Constitution score before you risk drowning. This ability does not stack with the hold breath special quality.

Wind-Carried Voices: You are a master of seeing through falsehoods and sharing secrets — the wind itself seems to carry your voice to those you trust. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Sense Motive checks to tell when someone is lying to you. Additionally, at will, as long as you are outdoors or in an area where there is noticeable air movement, you can whisper to any creature from up to 30 feet away. You can only designate one person in sight to hear your voice, and nearby creatures can hear these messages with a successful DC 20 Perception check. This is an extraordinary ability that otherwise functions as message.

​

Tengu

Find the Hidden: You have an innate magical talent for finding hidden treasure and other hidden things. You know the sift cantrip and may cast that spell twice per day as a spell-like ability.

Undine

Blood from Salt: You were born to piracy, and took to it like a duck to water. You gain a +1 trait bonus on melee attack rolls when either you or your target stands aboard a ship.
