Major Races[edit]

The only Playable Race native to Isla Sorna is the Winged Velociraptor. All other living creatures on Isla Sorna are simple animals.

Winged Velociraptors[edit]

Winged Velociraptors are the result of an experiment in genetics. Gifted with wings and intelligence that rivals a human's, they consider themsleves the dominant species of Isla Sorna.

Racial Traits[edit]

  • +2 Strength, -2 Wisdom, +2 Dexterity, +2 Intelligence, -4 Charisma: While Winged Velociraptors are physically strong, and very intelligent, they do not possess social skills, and, being visually frightening, most people avoid talking to them.
  • Magical Beast (Air): Winged Velociraptors are saurians, but their intelligence and flight grant them Magical Beast status.
  • Medium:As a medium creature,Winged Velociraptors gain no bonuses due to size.
  • Winged Velociraptor base land speed is 40 feet: while flying, speed is 50 feet (maneuverability: average)
  • Winged Raptors have Darkvision out to 60 feet and low-light vision.
  • Winged Raptors gain +2 in Balance; +4 in Hide, Move Silently; and +6 in Jump.
  • Racial Hit Die: Winged velociraptors begin play with five levels of magical beast, which provide 5d10 Hit Dice, a base attack bonus of +5, and base saving throw bonuses of Fort +4, Ref +4, and Will +1.
  • Racial Skills: A winged velociraptor's levels in magical beast give it skill points equal to 8 x (2 + Int modifier). Its class skills are any skill from the ranger class list.
  • Racial Feats: A winged velociraptor receives three feats because of its levels in magical beast. They may also select two bonus feats from the following list: Acrobatic, Dodge, Lightning Reflexes, Mobility, Run. They do not need to meet the prerequisites for these two bonus feats.
  • Professional Hunter: A winged velociraptors are brought up learning skills to help them conquer their jungle home. Each winged velociraptor selects either +2d6 sneak attack damage or spellcasting as a 4th level ranger. These abilities stack with those gained from the respective classes. A winged velociraptor who selects the ranger casting and then takes levels in ranger thus casts as a ranger 4 levels higher than his actual ranger level.
  • Language Barrier: While winged velociraptors can learn any language, they have some small problems speaking more exotic languages (languages other than somaraptorian and common). While speaking an exotic language, there is a 10% chance per hour that listeners will hear something insulting, rather than what the Raptor is actually trying to say. The DM makes this roll in secret and at a random time, so players do not know whether they have just asked for a room or insulted the NPC's mother. When this happens, the attitude of any NPC the player is talking to goes down one step.
  • Back Where it all Started: After one year of travel abroad, winged velociraptors must return to their island to speak with their elders. These elders may assign them a new challenge, or just need to hear news of the outside world. The winged velociraptor may bring their party with them (See Isla Sorna for more details).
  • Automatic Languages: Somaraptorian, Common.
  • Bonus Languages: Any, except secret languages.
  • Favored Class: Rogue, Ranger: Winged Raptors, being fast, silent predators favor Rogue and Ranger because these classes allow them to use their natural skills constantly.
  • Level Adjustment: +0
  • Effective Character Level: 5
