Blinian Troglodytes--New Background

[Nephallim]

Blinian Troglodyte

Specially bred by the warlocks of Blin, Troglodytes serve to supplement the human armies of the Dark Empire as fodder. Occasionally a Troglodyte rises to a high place in Blinian society, as a great priest or general, but these upjumped lizards are often shortlived, as their human peers have no tolerance for their lessers getting above themselves.

Ability Focus--Stench (Special Racial Feat)

You have been bred to give off a particularly revolting odor when scared or excited. The DC for your Stench special attack is increased by +2.

Marsh Camoflage (Special Racial Feat)

You have been bred to exibit features that help you hide in the frozen marshes of Blin. You gain your full +8 racial bonus to the hide skill when in swamps, marshes, or bogs.

Here's a general edit to the Troglodyte race, special for Anthros.

Troglodytes may use the concentration skill to control the use of their Stench ability.

DC 10: Activate when not scared or excited (standard action).

DC 15: Suppress when scared or excited (free action).

DC 20: Add +2 to the DC of fortitude saves vs Stench (move action). Omitted for Balance

Special: Troglodytes with Ability Focus (Stench) gain a +1 to concentration checks to control their Stench.

Ability Focus (Stench) should be labelled a Special Racial Feat for Troglodytes.

I'm worried that the DC 20 Concentration ability might be overbalanced. Perhaps DC30.

[Nephallim]

The two feats are both Trog only.

I think 30 is a bit much...how bout 25? Or, if you think it'll be a problem with balance, we could omit it alltogether.

[Trailfoot]

I say omit it, then.

The reason for the Special Racial Feat designation is that SRFs can be taken with the background feat slot. Monstrous feats can't.

[Nephallim]

Done.
