New Race-as-Class: Crabfolk (OSE)

Crabfolk

Requirements: STR 9, CON 9
Prime Requisite: STR
Hit Dice: d8
Maximum Level: 8
Armor: none
Weapons: none
Languages: Alignment, Crabfolk, Common

Crabfolk are anthropomorphic, sentient crab, with a hard exoskeleton which protects them from harm, covering their entire body, but making them unable to wear human armor. Their front arms have no hands, but snapping claws, which they use to fight. While they can pick up stuff with their claws, these can't manipulate them well enough to use things as humans do, so they can't use human weapons. Aside from their front arms and their hind legs, which are well-developed, crabfolk has other six small, vestigial legs protruding from their abdomen.

Combat

Crabfolks' claws are their natural weapons; at character creation, the player chooses whether their crabfolk has one big claw (which deals d8 damage) and one small claw (which deals d4 damage), or two medium claws (which deal d6 damage each). Likewise, their hard exoskeleton provides protection, with an Armor Class of 5 [14].

Underwater Breathing and Movement

Crabfolk can breathe and move (both walk and swim) underwater as well as on dry land.

After Reaching 8th Level

A crabfolk attracts 2d4 first level crabfolk followers to establish their own tribe.

Gárgula (OSE)

" Há mil anos, a superstição e a espada governavam. Foi uma época de trevas. Foi um mundo de medo. Foi a era dos gárgulas. Estátuas durante o dia, guerreiros durante a noite. (...) Somos os defensores da noite. Somos os gárgulas. " Gárgulas são monstros humanoides que viram estátuas de pedra durante o dia, mas voltam a ser de carne e osso durante a noite. Com suas asas, planam pelos céus noturnos. Costumam viver em clãs.

New Race-as-Class: Cephalid (OSE)

Cephalid (OSE) Cephalid Requirements: Minimum INT 9 Prime requisite: INT Hit Dice: d4 Maximum level: 12 Armor: none Weapons: dagger, staff Languages: Alignment, Cephalid, Common, Merfolk Cephalids are aquatic, sapient antropomorphic cephalopods, often resembling humanoid octopi, with beaks as mouths and tentacles instead of arms and legs. They have a more developed skeletal structure compared to their distant resemblants, which enables them to move outside water for a brief period, but they can't breathe air as well as water, and may dry out if they stay emerged for too long, at least without magical aid. Cephalids have a monarchic system of government, ruled over by an emperor or empress, and with a strong aristocratic hierarchy. Generally speaking, they're greedy creatures that want nothing more than power and control. Cephalids tend to be extremely cunning and manipulative, often plotting behind people's backs in an effort to climb up the social ladder. As ...

New Class: the Plumber (OSE)

Plumber Requirements: Minimum STR 9 Prime requisite: STR Hit Dice: d8 Maximum level: 14 Armor: leather and shell (see below), no shields Weapons: any blunt Languages: Alignment, Common Plumbers are adventurers specialized in subterranean waterways, such as sewers and underground rivers; despite that, they may go anywhere in search for gold coins. Plumbers first appeared in a distant land of fungal creatures, but now they can be found all over the realms. Combat Due to their job's abilities, plumbers can't wear shields, and can only use leather armor and a rare variety, shell armor, made from pseudoquelon shells; even then, the heavier shell armor places limitations on their skills. Plumbers can only use blunt weapons, but they have more options for ranged attacks, such as throwing hammers and boomerangs. Boomerang: Damage 1d4, 10 gp, 10 cw, blunt , missile (5'–20'/21'–40'/41'–60'), returning (on a miss, this weapon returns to its user at...
