Elves

Slender, primal, and dangerous, the Iethrazin (Directly translated to mean "Joyful Ones" or as humans inevitably renamed them, Elves) hail from a low-gravity desert planet with blistering heat. While dexterous and fragile, they developed a culture that focused upon survival of the fittest and much of their culture revolves around sports. In Iethra culture, no tactic is too low, and a win derived from cunning just as valid as the one derived from strength.

Some Iethrazin are born with the ability to shapeshift at will, and are known as Skinwalkers.

## Skinwalkers

### Standard Racial Traits

* **Ability Score Modifiers**: Skinwalkers are well attuned to the natural order of things and value passion above reason. They gain +2 Wisdom, –2 Intelligence, and +2 to one physical ability score while shapechanged (1 RP). While in their bestial form, they gain a +2 racial bonus to either Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution (see Change Shape). Skinwalkers of specific heritages (see below) gain different ability score modifiers, as indicated.

Feat and Skill Racial Traits

* **Animal-Minded (2 RP)**: Skinwalkers have a +2 racial bonus on Handle Animal and wild empathy checks. Skinwalkers of specific heritages gain a +2 bonus to different checks as indicated.

Magical Racial Traits

* **Change Shape (Su, 5 RP)**: A skinwalker can change shape to and from a bestial form as a standard action. In bestial form, a skinwalker gains a +2 racial bonus to either Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution. While in this form, a skinwalker also takes on an animalistic feature that provides a special effect. Each time a skinwalker assumes bestial form, she can choose to gain one of the following features:
	+ 2 claw attacks that each deal 1d4 points of damage
	+ Darkvision to a range of 60 feet.
	+ +1 racial bonus to natural armor.

These benefits last until the skinwalker returns to her humanoid form as a swift action. A skinwalker must first return to her humanoid form before changing to bestial form again to change benefits. Different skinwalker heritages allow skinwalker characters to select from different sets of bestial features.

* **Spell-Like Ability**: Skinwalkers with a Wisdom score of 11 or higher can use speak with animals once per day as a spell-like ability. The caster level for this ability is equal to the skinwalker’s character level. Skinwalkers of specific heritages gain other spell-like abilities.

Senses Racial Traits

* **Low-Light Vision (Ex)**: Skinwalkers can see twice as far as humans in conditions of dim light.
