• Medium: Fringers have no bonuses or penalties due to their size. (0 RP)

• Pure Heritage: Because of their isolation on Dinoterra, Fringers were never touched by the Atlanteans experimentation or the wild magic of the Chaos Wars. (2 RP)
• Defensive Training (lesser): Fringers live on the outskirts of society, so learn to always be wary of the predation of carnivores. They gain a +4 racial dodge bonus to AC vs carnivores. (2 RP)

• Beguiling Liar: Fringers gain a +4 racial bonus to Bluff skill checks when bargaining or making deals. (2 RP).

• Choose 3 RP worth of traits to balance out this race. (3 RP)

Alternate Racial Traits

• Weather Savvy: Fringers are so in tune with the air and sky they can sense the slightest change in atmospheric conditions. They can spend a full-round action to predict the weather in an area for the next 24 hours. This prediction is always accurate, but cannot account for spells or supernatural effects that might alter the forecast. Replaces lucky and gain 1 RP.
• Lowlight Vision: Fringers can see twice as far as a race with normal vision in conditions of dim light. Replaces defensive training and gain 1 RP.

Human fringers are the last ruminant of pure human stock. They are outcasts from their heritage and true assimilation by the Dinoterran society.  They often live on the outskirts of civilization, but most prefer the Wild Outlands, where they can build their own society and live however they want. They are true anarchists and are only beholden to themselves. Although, they often band together for protection from the large carnivores.

The scales along their body makes them go into a chameleon like state.

Like the spell, any action that would normally break the spell also breaks this invisibility. This is an extraordinary ability. Replaces bite and racial immunities.
• Thick Scales: The lamia was born with thicker than average scales, and many patches of scales appear on their back, arms, and chest where no scales are supposed to be. Due to this quirk of birth, this lamia is more resilient than the rest of its kin gains a +2 natural armor bonus to AC. Replaces swim.

Naga inspired race: Deva-Nagaru

I decided to create a race with characteristics of a naga and humanoid. This will be a Pathfinder advanced player race with average to advanced RP.
I will be taking my information from recorded legends of this race. One of my major points will be that the serpent races are all related so will be considered one race, that is separated by clan/caste. (ex: naga, yuan-ti, serpentfolk, maralith, lamia, etc). Nobles will be able to shift to full human or any stage in between.

​Deva-Nagaru (People of the Snake)
Before the Chaos Wars, Naga were a serpent worshiping mountain tribe that lived on Nagloka (Nagpur). When the war was at its worst, during a snake dance, a wild magic storm hit. All the participants were affected. Some immediately, until the next full moon and a rare few didn’t have the trait appear but their children did. The mutation varied depending on the tribe, inclination and nearness to snakes. Because most nobles are dragon-blooded they eventually gained control and became shifters. Others show their serpent traits in appearance and temperament.
Their cousins on the other side of island in Slithoria (change), had a similar occurrence but with lizards during a lizard dance. They had a worst effect, because the predatory nature of the lizards was stronger and all but subsumed their humanity. Many of the lizardfolk became violent and warlike as a result.
So came the war. Lizard vs snake. Their draconic cousins on the nearby island of Dracoria eventually enforced a peace before their mutual destruction. They created a neutral zone around the holy lake of Takshila. The Goddess Devangara created the winged naga in her image to be protectors of the peace around the holy lake.
The seven tribes are as follows (add subtype as needed):

• Marindara: Any N, eel or see snake lower body, humanoid upper. small-medium.
• Nagan: N-NG, fully scaled, snake-headed humanoids. small-large
• Quezl-Nagan: N-NG, fully scaled, rainbow colored winged (feathers) snake. small-large
• Maralith: Any-partial to fully scaled humanoid upper body with snake head, un-scaled lower humanoid body. small-medium
• Yuan-ti: Any-N, fully scaled humanoid upper body with snake head, scaled lower snake body. small-medium
• Lamia: NG-N, humanoid upper body, snake lower. small-medium
• Noble: Any N, can look or shift to any of the above or a combination off traits. Many show dragonblood traits as well. small-medium

See later posts for more on the seven tribes.
