Karnos (Advanced Race, 20 RP)

Karnos live for honor and war and very little else! These descendants of dragons are larger and fiercer than their kobold cousins, gifted with three eyes, a large fanged mouth, backwards curving horns and thick scaled bony plated hides that make them fearsome. Being declared a battle mate to a karnos is one of their greatest honors they can grant to a stranger and is usually only achievable  by saving their life first.

Type (0 RP): Karnos are humanoids with the reptilian subtype.

Size (7 RP) Karnos are Large creatures and gain a +2 size bonus to Strength and a –2 size penalty to Dexterity. Large races take a –1 size penalty to their AC, a –1 size penalty on attack rolls, a +1 bonus on combat maneuver checks and to their CMD, and a –4 size penalty on Stealth checks. A Large creature takes up a space that is 10 feet by 10 feet and has a reach of 5 feet. Large creatures require double the food and drink of Medium creatures and can only wear equipment that is custom made for their size.

Base Speed: Fast (1 RP) 40 ft.

Ability Score Modifiers: Greater Paragon (0 RP) +4 Str, -2 Wis, -2 Cha. Karnos give little value to stealth or prudence.

Languages: Standard (0 RP) Karnos begin play speaking Common and Draconic. Karnos with high Intelligence scores can choose from the following: Cyclops, Giant, Gnoll, and Sphinx.

Defense Racial Traits

Draconic Hide (7 RP): Karnos have a +6 natural armor bonus on their Armor Class.

Offense Racial Traits

Bite (2 RP): A karnos’ bite attack deals 2d6 damage.

Claws (2 RP): A karnos’ 2 claw attacks deal 1d6 damage each.

Weapon Totem (1 RP): Each karnos war clan has a distinctive weapon as its symbol. All karnos of a clan are proficient in their totemic weapon. If a karnos crafts such a weapon for himself, he gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls when using that weapon (and that weapon only).
