Oread Characters

Oreads are defined by class levels—they do not possess racial Hit Dice. Oreads have the following racial traits.

  • +2 Strength, +2 Wisdom, –2 Charisma: Oreads are strong, solid, stable, and stoic.
  • Darkvision: Oreads can see in the dark up to 60 feet.
  • Spell-Like Ability: Magic stone 1/day (caster level equals the oread’s total Hit Dice).
  • Energy Resistance: Oreads have acid resistance 5. 
  • Earth Affinity: Oread sorcerers with the elemental (earth) bloodline treat their Charisma score as 2 points higher for all sorcerer spells and class abilities. Oread clerics with the Earth domain cast their domain powers and spells at +1 caster level.
  • Languages: Oreads begin play speaking Common and Terran. Oreads with high Intelligence scores can choose any of the following bonus languages: Aquan, Auran, Dwarven, Elven, Gnome, Halfling, Ignan, and Undercommon.

* Editors Note

It has been clarified by James Jacobs here that the Oread's base speed is intended to be 20 ft. However, it is unclear whether they are supposed to have the slow and steady trait like dwarves. GMs should decide whether they want to grant this benefit to the Oread. It was later clarified by James Jacobs here that they were not intended to have the slow and steady trait that dwarves have.

ECOLOGY

Environment any land
Organization solitary, pair, or team (3–5)
Treasure NPC Gear (leather armor, longsword, composite longbow with 20 arrows, other treasure)

Oreads are humans whose ancestry includes the touch of an elemental being of earth somewhere along its line, often that of a shaitan genie. Oreads are strong and solidly built, and prefer wearing earth tones that match the coloration of their flesh and hair—shades of gray, brown, black, or white. In rare cases, oreads’ stone-like traits are so strong as to leave no question as to their nature, with growths like rocky outcroppings protruding from their skin or hair like crystalline spikes. Oreads tend to be stoic and contemplative, slow to anger but terrible when roused. Outside of combat, they tend to be quiet, dependable, and protective of their friends.
