Quillchildren

Lands

Quillchildren are a desert race, having evolved there from human stock. If removed from their homelands, they like to dwell in dry areas with little to no rainfall. If forced to live in moist, wet areas, they are miserable and attempt to leave these areas as soon as they possibly can.

Religion

Quillchildren are shamanistic in nature, their culture being led by shamans that communicate with the spirits of the desert. If the Quillchildren are not within their home deserts, they tend to follow the gods of the area that they live in.

Language

Quillchildren primarily speak Common, though a few learn Terran and Auran to communicate with the spirits and elements of the deserts that they tend to dwell in.

• Quill Shower (Ex): Every 1d4 rounds, a Quillchild can fire a spray of tiny needles from his body at a target within 30 feet as a ranged attack. These needles deal no damage themselves, but deliver a quick acting paralytic toxin. The target must make a Fortitude Save DC = 10 + 1/2 Quillchild's level + Con modifier or become stunned for 1 round. The max range of these needles is 30 ft. The poison quickly becomes inert. Spines that are fired lose their poison after 1 round.
