Play an ooze if you want...

• to be a member of a race that favors the fighter, rogue and runepriest classes.

Racial Backgrounds

Accursed Thing

Your genesis begins in the darkest, most forgotten corner of the world where there are things that have no names and have never even been seen by the rest of the world. It is from there you slithered. Was it by accident? Or on purpose? Perhaps you find the world to be charming and quaint, or maybe you are completely naive about the way things work.

Associated Skills: Dungeoneering, Endurance
Associated Languages: Deep Speech

Degenerate's Scion

Your intelligence comes from the fact that you are technically only half-ooze. One of your parents was enamoured with (you can only assume) a particularly alluring ooze, and after a smile and a wink you eventually ended up in the world. You'd really, really, really rather not think about it. Have you completely repressed the memory? Maybe you have become incredibly good at lying about where you came from. Do you have a knack for changing the topic of conversation?

Associated Skills: Bluff, Diplomacy

Escaped Experiment

A mad wizard or other arcanist scooped you up into a jar many years back, and after enduring a lot of bottled lightning and mysterious potions, you woke up one day to discover you knew you were you. You also knew how to escape, and escape you did. Have you been free for long? Did you stick around to learn what you could? Was it difficult to escape? Perhaps your time incarcerated has made you surly and critical.

Associated Skills: Arcana, Perception, Thievery
