==R'aga==

[[Summary::A race of frog-like plants, with an affinity for water and sticky, poisonous tongues.]]

===Personality===

R'agas are very diverse from individual to individual, but common traits may be recognized in them. They are kind of reclusive, but not cold, nor xenophobic. R'agas are usually pacific, preferring a quet lifestyle and gathering the products of lakes and small creeks, such as plants, small fish and bugs.

===Physical Description===

The r'agas varies in appearence, but they share some traits. They appear as humanoid frogs, tall and slender, wearing light clothes. They tend to prefer colourful fabric, which mirrors their habitat. R'agas sport a varied complexion: they can be light blue, white, pale yellow, green water or light pink, sometimes monochrome, but more often in a patchwork. Their most notable traits are the water lily which sprouts from their head, both the flower and the large leaf, and their long, usually green, sticky tongues.

===Relations===

Their are quite unknown and keep to themselves, but those that come in contact with r'agas find out that r'agas are usually quite welcoming.

===Alignment===

Neutrality is the prevalent alignment among r'agas, with a prevalent leaning towards good rather than evil, a result of their cultural pacifism.

===Lands===

They live in aquatic environments, usually in damp forests. They build small settlements, usually a combination of floating and submerged houses in ponds and lakes.

===Religion===

Ragas cultivate a personal spirituality, focusing on pacifism and self-control, occasionally giving praise to spirits and gods of nature.

===Language===

They speak Sylvan as their first language, and in second place they learn Common, Elven, Gnome, Goblin or Aquan.

===Names===

Their voices are croaking like the call of frogs and toads, and their name names reflect that by using a lot of cr- sounds accompanied by vowels.

|specialtext2=Their tongue is kind of poisonous. R'agas may produce a stronger toxin and coat their tongue with it. They may do so once per day, plus an extra use every 5 HD they possess. Activating the toxin is a free action and the poison activates on their next successful attack. The victim must make a Fortitude save (DC is 15 + 1/2 HD) or be mildly paralysed for the next minute, resulting in a -2 to all checks that involve movement (attacks, physical skill and ability checks, reflex saves and initiative), as well as suffering a -10 ft to all their speed (or -5 ft if already under 20 feet).

The tongue used a grappling hook has a length equal to 15 feet-4,5 meters. The tongue sticks to surfaces and they may retract themselves along it as a free action which does not provoke attacks of opportunity. They have a racial bonus to [[Use Rope]] checks made with their tongue equal to their HD. The tongue counts as a [[SRD:Grappling Hook|grappling hook]], rope and [[Hookshot (3.5e Equipment)|hookshot]] for the purpose of requirements.

===Racial Options===

====Feats====

*[[Sticky Tongue Style (3.5e Feat)|Sticky Tongue Style]]

===Pathfinder===

In Pathfinder games they have also a +2 to Wisdom.

====Alternate Racial Features====

* ''Arboreal:'' R'agas that have abandoned the pond live on top of trees. Because of this, they lose their [[Swim]] speed and instead gain a 20 feet [[Climb]] speed, which also gives them a +8 racial bonus to such checks.

* ''Cunning Predator:'' R'agas that have abandoned the way of peace have sharpened their minds, resulting in a loss of sapience. Their +2 to Wisdom is replaced with a +2 to Intelligence.

* ''Thorned Tongue:''  Some r'agas, perhaps due to an evolutionary push for violence, develop tongues that work like weapons. They gain a [[Feral Strike (3.5e Variant Rule)|feral weapon]] with the statistics presentend below, treated as a whip for any purpose (and they count as having proficienty with whips for requirements). They may also use their tongue as a [[SRD:Grappling Hook|grappling hook]] and perform grappling maneuvers with it. The tongue used a grappling hook has a length equal to its reach as a whip (usually 15 feet-4,5 meters). The tongue can grab things and they may retract themselves along it as a free action which does not provoke attacks of opportunity. They may pull grappled enemies with opposed Strength checks or a Strength check opposed to their [[Use Rope]] check. They have a racial bonus to [[Use Rope]] checks made with their tongue equal to their HD. The tongue counts as a [[SRD:Grappling Hook|grappling hook]], rope and [[Hookshot (3.5e Equipment)|hookshot]] for the purpose of requirements. This trait replaces the Paralyzing Tongue and Sticky Tongue traits.

* ''Tracker:'' Instead of a toxic skin, wood-dwelling r'agas have learned how to track down their preys. They gain the [[Track]] feat and treat the [[Survival]] skill always as a class skill. They gain a +2 racial bonus to rolls made to track with [[Survival]]. This trait replaces Toxic Skin.

* ''Wood Camouflage:'' Due to their skin of duller color, they are more apt at hiding in woods. They gain a +2 racial bonus on [[Hide]] checks which becomes a +4 in woodlands. This trait replaces Pond Camouflage, but counts as such for requirements.

====Subraces====

=====Leaf R'aga=====

Almost the opposite of pond r'agas, leaf r'agas are a subspecies which has moved from a watery environment to the woods, learning how to hunt, stalk and kill any prey or invader, forgoing forever the peaceful ways of their cousins. They are less clorful, and their skin is usually a shade of green or brown, sometimes a combination of shades in spots. They are otherwise similar to pond r'agas, but dont grow a leaf and flower on their head. Instead a short mantle of leaves grows on their shoulders. They underwent a physical transformation, which gave them enhanced intellect, a thorny tongue, the ability to climb, track and hide among bushes and trees. This changes altered these r'agas forever, yet they still remain reclusive and distrustful of strangers, which they happily attack when trespassing, with almost no warning. 

To play as a leaf r'aga, you may take the Arboreal, Cunning Predator, Thorned Tongue, Tracker, and Wood Camouflage alternate racial traits.
