=S'uuisku=

[[Summary::S'uuisku, or earthly creatures, are the spawn of the young, curious gods. These creatures draw their appearance and ability from the very soul of the earth.]]

==Description==

S'uuisku are spawn of young, curious deities discovering their power. The s'uuisku are usually curious about their surroundings, a curiosity often leading them to foolhardiness and foolishness. The s'uuisku are many in kind, their personality are just as varied. Some may be greedy and aloof while others are prideful and self-righteous.  

The s'uuisku's appearance is also extremely varied, having various breeds and clans. Each s'uuisku clan was created to exemplify a thought, with all its flaws and qualities. While a breed represents an entire emotion felt by the young gods. There are a few well known breeds: The ghandalui, the yandale, yelkoven and the manauchla.

The ghandalui, most commonly known as beastmen, are tall, bulky, monstrous humanoid figures with animal heads. They are brutal, ugly, spiteful but honorable and prideful. They were born out of anger; the anger of the gods when they saw a universe bigger than they, but also the eagerness to discover it. The ghandalui are eager to conquer territory, with little regard of who lives there.  

The yandale, or fair folks' children are small fey, often quite pretty with a few feral traits. They exemplify passion and excess, but also stagnancy and pettiness. The yandales are well known to trick travellers for good or bad (the nature of these tricks depends upon the yandale itself). The standard yandale is about 3 feet tall (some clan can be from 2 feet to 5 feet tall), with very little hair and a slender build. Yandales usually have funky skin tones of blue or green. Yandale are tricksters, using powerful magic to bring their unfortunate prey down. A notable traits of the yandale is their skin, instead of being soft and fleshy it shares a similar texture to bark-skin.        

The yelkoven are small furry creatures, a mix between a sprite and a beastman. These creatures grew from the curiosity of the gods when they saw the infinite universe. They are curious about the world surrounding them but have a malicious desire to master it. The yelkoven are often wise and hardy. They have a clear mind and strong wills allowing them to take on the world each day and be ready for tomorrow.  

Manauchla are oddities, they seem to be fey, like the others s'uuisku bit share similar traits with insects. They are the most mysterious of all s'uuisku, rarely seen at all. Some say they were born from the fear of some gods to get lost in the universe.

==Racial Traits==

A s'uuisku can select up to 3 gifts, though 2 of them must be from the same breed list (as the breeds described above are not absolute). By taking 1 [[SRD:Level Adjustment (Creature Statistic)|Level Adjustment]], the s'uuisku may select five other gifts (not restricted by lists) and may select a single [[#Special Gifts|special gift]] (which still counts against your gift limit). Taking another [[SRD:Level Adjustment (Creature Statistic)|Level Adjustment]] (for a total of LA 2) grants 10 other gifts (for a total of 18 gifts) of which you may take 2 other [[#Special Gifts|special gift]]. It is fairly complicated, so here a breakdown.

* LA 0: 3 gifts, 2 are restricted to the same list, no special gifts may be taken.
* LA 1: 8 gifts, one of these may be a [[#Special Gifts|special gift]] (removed list restriction)
* LA 2: 18 gifts, 3 of these may be [[#Special Gifts|special gifts]].

S'uuisku taking a gifts outside their chosen breed (the one you select 2 gift from) except from general gift, award you a inherent flaw. You must choose one from your chosen breed's list. S'uuisku with a level adjustment does not take a flaw when selecting gifts from different lists. 

If it wasn't obvious, a gift cannot be selected more than once unless stated otherwise.

=== Base Traits ===
<span style="display:none">{{#set:Racial Ability Adjustments=Variable}}</span>

* [[Size::Medium]]: As medium creatures, s'uuisku have no bonus or penalties. 
* S'uuisku [[base land speed]] is 30 feet.

If it makes a successful [[SRD:Saving Throw#Will|Will]] or [[SRD:Saving Throw#Fortitude|Fortitude]] save against an attack that normally would have a lesser effect on a successful save (such as a spell with a saving throw entry of [[SRD:Saving Throw#Will|Will]] half or [[SRD:Saving Throw#Fortitude|Fortitude]] partial), it instead completely negates the effect. An unconscious or sleeping s'uuisku does not gain the benefits of mettle. This ability can be used 3 time per day as a immediate action and last for 1 round.
* Soulless {{Ex}}:  S'uuisku body and soul are one, when killed, no soul is released, instead their energy return to earth as their body turn to dirt.
