Half-Lunarian[edit]

Male and female half-lunarians.

A crossbreed between humans and magical moonfolks, the half-lunarian possesses some of the magic of their forebear. It is said that the moonfolks have visited humanity in the past in large numbers, and even established earthly colonies, leaving only their offspring with the human when they went back. The half-lunarians are the descendent of such offspring, or even the result of a more recent visit by a lone moonfolk. The half-lunarians are mostly human-looking, with hints of otherworldliness. They tend to be pale-skinned, have a large variety of hair or eye colors and are rather androgynous in appearance and demeanor. While they have a wide range of personality, many half-lunarians tend to be rather cold and aloof.

Most half-lunarians have inherent magical abilities which they inherited from their moonfolk parents. Some half-lunarians pursue their magical abilities and become spellcasters, while others prefer to use them to supplement their other skills. Half-lunarians almost never have any society of their own, rather they tend to blend in human society rather well. They are often completely unaware of their heritage, simply pursuing their human interests until their lengthened lifespan proves that they are not wholly human.

Racial Traits[edit]

  • +2 to any attribute: Half-lunarians are extremely versatile, much like their human parent.
  • Humanoid (Human, Moonfolk): Half-lunarians are the offspring of moonfolks and humans. 
  • Medium: As a Medium creature, a half-lunarian has no special bonuses or penalties due to its size.
  • Half-Lunarian base land speed is 30 feet.  
  • Low-Light Vision: A half-lunarian 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. 
  • Human Heritage (Ex): A half lunarian gains 4 extra skill points at 1st level and 1 extra skill point at each additional level. They counts as human for the purpose of the disguise skill. 
  • Moonfolk Heritage (Sp): A half-lunarian has the ability to cast a single cantrip from the sorcerer/wizard list as a spell-like twice per day. If the half-lunarian is a spellcaster she also adds the chosen cantrip to her spell list, and her list of spells known if applicable. If a half-lunarian caster has the moon domain or the lunar bloodline, they cast their domain and bloodline with a +1 bonus on caster level. 
  • Word of Power (Su): All half-lunarians have a vague eidetic knowledge of the ancient magical language of the moonfolks. While not enough to form a comprehensive language, the magical nature of the tongue allows them to empower their spells. An half-lunarian has a single Truenamer's Utterance of her choice, which she can use twice per day. The half-lunarian may invoke the utterance without a spell as standard action, counting as a 1st level spell. She may apply that specific utterance on spell-like abilities granted by class level, such as a warlock's eldritch blast.
  • Automatic Languages: Common
  • Bonus Languages: Any non-secret
  • Favored Class: Any
  • Level Adjustment: +0
  • Effective Character Level: 1

Alternate Racial Features[edit]

  • Enruned Weapon (Su): Some more martially-inclined lunar use their word of powers to empower their blade. An half-lunarian with this racial trait gains the Arcane Strike feat as a bonus feat, and counts as being able to cast arcane spells with a caster level equal to her character level for the purpose of qualifying and determining the effect of the Arcane Strike feat or feats with Arcane Strike feat as a prerequisite. This alternate racial feature replaces the word of power racial feature.
  • Moonfolk Physiology (Ex): You have inherited more of the moonfolk physiology. You are visibly unusual and non-human, often with strange rabbit-like hears and large eyes. You gain Light Gravity Acclimation as a bonus feat, even if you do not meet the prerequisites, and the hyperjump ability. This alternate racial feature replaces the human heritage racial feature.
