Ambyr

Color: Red Ambyr Problems: To tall and No Horns

Color: Unknown Problem: No horns The Ambyr are a race of unicorn-like humanoids. They have equine heads with a predominant horn, a humanoid torso, hands with three large fingers, digitigrade legs and hoofed feet. They have pupil-less eyes that softly glow. They are naturally mystical creatures, and strongly tied to their alignment. You can tell the alignment of an Ambyr by his appearance. (And yes, if an Ambyrs alignment changes, his appearance will too.)

This feat determines the Ambyrs physical appearance as well as other racial qualities. Another individual can determine, to an extent, the alignment of an Ambyr from their physical appearance. Ambyr treat Sense Motive and Use Magic Device as class skills for all classes. Automatic Languages: Ambyr and Common.

(Important note: The LA +1 shown above was edited into the race by the maintainers of this site. Kkat, the author of the race, very strongly disapproves of the LA system, and instead suggests replacing it with the following mechanic: Ambyr are somewhat more powerful than most other races of common folk. Ambyr characters start with 1,000 less experience points than other characters, signifying that early experiences are simply less challenging and thus less rewarding to overcome for Ambyr adventurers.)
