Bower Born: Gathlains gain a +2 racial bonus on Handle Animal checks and on Influence checks involving fey or plant creatures.
Gliding Wings: The gathlain’s wings provide the ability to glide; the gathlain takes no damage from falling, as if subject to a constant nonmagical feather fall spell. While in midair, a gathlain can move up to 5 feet horizontally for every 1 foot it falls, at a speed of 60 feet per round.
Low-Light Vision: Gathlains can see twice as far as humans in dim light.
Spell-Like Abilities: 1/day — entangle, feather step.
Sticky Tendrils: Gathlains can cling to walls and even ceilings as long as the surface has handholds, and are treated as being constantly under the effects of a nonmagical spider climb spell (except that the gathlain may not cling to smooth surfaces).
Languages: Gathlains speak Common and Sylvan. A gathlain with a high Intelligence score can choose from the following languages: Elven, Goblin, and Halfling.
ALTERNATE RACIAL FEATURES
Fey Heart: The power of the fey runs stronger in some gathlains, whether by practice of their innate skill, stronger traces of the blood of the upper echelons of the courts, or some other cause. They gain the Basic Magic Training feat for the Fallen Fey sphere as a bonus feat. This racial trait replaces the gathlain's spell-like abilities.
Flighty: Some gathlains are too easily distracted to miss anything going on around them. They gain a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against patterns and effects that cause the fascinated condition.
Nimbus of Vitality: Gathlains sometimes retain a powerful connection to the First World, which allows them to channel life-giving energy. As a standard action once per day, they can surround themselves in an aura that affects them as faerie fire and grants fast healing 2. The nimbus lasts for 3 rounds plus 1 additional round per 2 character levels the gathlain possesses. This racial trait replaces the gathlain's spell-like abilities.
Whimsical Outlook: Some gathlains have swiftly-moving minds that are almost impossible to pin down. Once per day, when they fail a Will save against a mind-affecting effect, they can reroll with a +2 bonus and use the new result. This replaces the gathlain's spell-like abilities.
