Britanian Race
D&D Hombrew E3.5

Type: Humanoid – Outlander / Off-worlder - Britanian

Size type: Medium

God: Zyrcon

Average Lifespan: 160 Ageing effects same as Human (if they go that route) Despite most choosing to stay forever young, when it's your time, it's your time.

Skin Colour: tan to fair...with fair being most common.

Hair colour: Same as Human

Eye Colour: Blue, Green, Brown, Purple, Gold...any with the exception of red. Grey eyes are especially rare in a Britanian and carry the same stigma that a Red eyed Human would have.

Alignment: Any Good, typically LG. Evil Britanians are unheard of. (removed from their history)

Average Height: 5'0 - 6'5

Average Weight: 125 - 250

Languages: Britanian and Common.

Distinction: wearing their national colours of Blue and White with patriotic pride, they are easily mistaken for Humans.

Background:
It used to be that Soul Burn would outright KILL the Britanian who used it after battle with no chance of resurrection.
The Legend agonized that his people were forced to use Soul Burn to win the day (one at a time, in a time Britania was constantly attacked). In his musings, Zyrcon overheard and began to tweak Britanian DNA over the course of centuries. The result is what you know them as now.
Long ago, before Zyrcon's tampering to make them survive Soul Burn, Britanians -were- Human! They don't know this...
Hence the common mistake from anyone, really. The quickest way to tell the difference between the average Britanian and the average Human is, let's face it, the Britanian will be superior in every way. That and cut them. Britanians have pewter-grey blood as opposed to Human's red.

At 17, because of their ancestors abuse of the Elizir of Youth, the Britanian can choose to stop ageing effects.


Racial Feats, Bonus, Abilities & Flaws

Racial Feats
Britanian Race gets 2 starting feats as a racial bonus. 1 fixed, 1 bonus.

Fixed Race feat
Imported initiative: +4 bonus on all Initiative checks

Bonus race feat
(To choose ONE of the following)
Lightning reflexes: +2 on reflex saves
Shield Proficiency: No armour check penalty on attack rolls
Self sufficient: +2 bonus on heal and survival
Negotiator: +2 Bonus on Diplomacy and sense motive.

Racial Abilities:

Psionics:
First Bond: Limited telepathy (surface thoughts). Only works with other Britanians. Pictures cannot be sent or perceived, only words.

Second Bond: With Those They Save. In game terms it works as a Know Location effect that pops up when either of them are in trouble.
Third Bond: With Those They Love. In game terms it works as a Status spell with Telepathy. Unlike First Bond, where telepathy is really weak and sounds like faint whispers, easily ignorable unless the Britanian closes their eyes and concentrates, Third Bond telepathy is loud and clear.

Third Bond: telepathy is separate from First Bond...in other words, Telepathic conversations held in Third Bond cannot be accidentally intercepted by First Bond. Also, not both parties have to be Britanian to enjoy Third Bond...just one of them has to be.

Soul Burn Ability:
based on level of character and Constitution modifier

Level 1: +1 to Str and Con.

Level 5: +2 to Str and Con.

Level 10: +3 to Str and Con.

Level 15: +4 to Str and Con.

Takes one full action to activate, thus when entering has to attack enemies on sight until the rage ends (based on level of character and Con modifier), after use the PC/NPC is exhausted and fatigued to the point they have to rest for a full 24 hours or his body will start to break down.


Racial Flaws:
Vanity: Due to abuse of the Elizir of Youth.
Pride.: They often think they are superior to other races.
Lust: They tend to give into their base passion to easily, thus distracted by their earthly desires.
Bonds: 2nd and 3rd bonds can drive britanians insane with either too many connections (2nd Bond) Or heartbreak. (3rd Bond).
