PuffballEdit
Cute little round things with cute little round limbs. Kirby-inspired to a degree, although also takes some inspiration from the Pokémon Jigglypuff and does not have the Inhale (which is considered something class-based).
PersonalityEdit
Usually very happy and upbeat, with rare but noticeable exceptions. They always value their friends and allies. Otherwise, their personalities vary a lot.
Physical DescriptionEdit
Averaging at about half the height of a human, the aptly-named Puffballs are about as cute as they get. Their heads and torsos aren't separate, instead having a single center of body. This center of body is round, most often perfectly, although certain cases are a bit more rough. Their limbs are also quite round, and yet somehow they can wield tools and weapons with only a little less proficiency than races with more... normal hands. Their hands are very small, but their feet can range from a little bigger than the hands to almost half the size of the main body. Some may have various kinds of tails or hair, although this is uncommon in the main species. Their eyes are either round or vertically long - no horizontally long-eyed specimens exist. Their eyes are mostly black, with a white circle near the top and a colored area near the bottom, typically contrasting with the main color. Body colors are all over the place.
RelationsEdit
Puffballs are rather rare, but they are often well-liked by things that like cute things (which is most of them)
AlignmentEdit
Usually good or neutral.
LandsEdit
Puffballs are very resilient and can fit in most environments, but they mostly prefer grassy plains.
ReligionEdit
Anything that meets their Alignment, although things related to dreams or the stars do catch their eye more.
LanguageEdit
Puffballs speak Common by default, and not much else. They might end up learning Abyssal (somehow) or Sylvan, though.
NamesEdit
Puffballs usually just use human names or a simple title (following the formula of "Cool-Sounding Word ending with -a + Job", such as "Meta Knight")
Racial TraitsEdit
- +2 Constitution, +2 Charisma, -2 Wisdom, -2 Dexterity: They're blobs, so a high Constitution is inevitable. They're also very cute, hence the Charisma. Wisdom takes a hit due to their innocence, and Dexterity takes a hit because their arms... uhh...
- Abberation: ... what else do you call them?
- Small: As a Small creature, a puffball gains a +1 size bonus to Armor Class, a +1 size bonus on attack rolls, a –4 size penalty on special attack (bull rushes, grapples, overruns, and trips) checks, and a +4 size bonus on Hide checks, but it uses smaller weapons than humans use, and its lifting and carrying limits are three-quarters of those of a Medium character.
- Puffball base land speed is 20ft feet. Glide 20ft
- Low-Light Vision: A puffball can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. She retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.
- Air Jumps (Ex): Puffballs have the Air Jump (3.5e Creature Ability) ability.
- Toughness (Ex): Puffballs always start with one level of the SRD:Toughness feat.
- Flight (Ex): At 5 HD, Puffballs can fly. They have a fly speed of 20 with good maneuverability.
- Automatic Languages: Common
- Bonus Languages: Abyssal, Sylvan
- Favored Class: Any
- Level Adjustment: +0
- Effective Character Level: 1
