HumansThe most recent and dominant species on the planet since the Age of

Man. The humans are known for their numbers and technological

achievements rather than any inborn ability to influence the world like

Beastkin or Dracovin with their super strength or their fire breath. Humans

are said to be the closest relative to the Precursors.

RACE SKILLSHuman Will: The ability to push through when all looks grim. Offers resistance against status

ailments (1d6 to resist).

Adrenaline: Gives a +2 to STR, DEX and CON when in a desperate situation (I.E. HP is

critical).

Teamwork: Humans always accomplish more when working together rather than alone. When

comrade is in trouble, you can offer assistance. (Ex. Comrade rolls for a DEX check to dodge.

Their DEX Modifier is +2. The Human can add their own modifier, which is DEX +2, to their

comrade making the total 4.)

Nightwalkers

Born from the desires of the mad queen Meredith, this offshoot of mainstream humanity

has been warped by the power of the Bloodstone to the point where they could almost be

considered a race of their own.

Desiring an army able to conquer the fertile lands south of their abode in the mountains,

she used the knowledge contained within the Azure Records to change her subjects into a

form suited to take on the much better equipped and trained soldiers of the other

kingdoms.

The ritual had, however, unforeseen consequences, confining all affected by it to walking

only under the protection of night, forcing them to prey on other living beings in order to

extend their extremely long life spans.

While often mistaken for undead by others due to rumour, Nightwalkers are nevertheless

"alive" to the point of even being able to interbreed with humans, in which case a female

Nightwalker will always produce Nightwalker offspring while a male breeding with a human

female will produce human offspring.

As a people they tend to be bitter and warlike, often raiding villages on their borders in

7/30/2019 Errant Tower Races

order to use the local population as either food or nearly mindless thralls.

Race Skills

Overwhelming MaliceWhen angered, the Nightwalker becomes able to project his irritation in the form of an empathic

wave into the surroundings, overwhelming weaker foes with the force of his displeasure. (Deals

1d6 to surrounding creatures)

Featherfall

Nightwalkers descend to the ground at half the speed of a regular person.

This ability requires them to be awake and neither stunned nor otherwise impaired.

Inability to see makes this ability become inaccurate or wholly inactive.

Dwelling in the Dark

When out of sunlight and in their natural element, the darkness, Nightwalkers gain 1+ in CON,

DEX and STR.

DracovinThe Dracovin are the oldest dominant race known to the world. They have lived in the

mountain tops above the sky since the beginning of the Age of Dragons, shortly just before

the Age of Beast. The Dracovin and the new Beastkin fought over control of Earth and Sky.

Eventually, after so many years, the conflict died down. As time passed and blood thinned,

the Dracovin have since lost their everemposing power over the land. Since then they have

isolated themselves from the 'lower lands' and stay to themselves in their sky-high mountain

villages in order to avoid future conflict.

BeastkinThe second dominant species to be birthed by the precursors. The Beastkin were the start of the

Age of Beast. In the beginning they had problems with the previous race, the Dracovin, as they

tried to spread upward and into the mountains. After some fighting, the Beastkin settled on takingthe Earth while the Dracovin took the mountains and sky.

and so forth.
