  RACIAL FEATS AND RACIAL CHARACTER TRAITS 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
  Several new feats are featured below for members of the svirfneblin race. These feats list the race in 
  their prerequisites, prohibiting other races from taking them. Also presented below are a number of 
  racial character traits, first introduced in the Pathfinder® Roleplaying Game: Advanced Player’s Guide. ™ 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
  SVIRFNEBLIN FEATS 
   
  ALCHEMICAL WONDERWORKER  [ITEM CREATION] 
  You can create wondrous alchemical and magical items. 
  PREREQUISITES: Craft (alchemy) 1 rank, skilled, svirfneblin 
  BENEFIT: You may ignore the caster level prerequisite for the 
  Brew Potion feat, and you can create magical beads, dusts, 
  elixirs, glues, powders, soaps, solvents, and other wondrous 
  items consisting of alchemical materials or potion-like objects 
  as if you possessed the Craft Wondrous Item feat. In addition, 
  you can use the Craft (alchemy) skill in place of the Spellcraft 
  skill when creating potions or wondrous items like the ones 
  described above.  
   
  SVIRFNEBLIN CHARACTER TRAITS 
   
  ALCHEMICAL ARMIGER 
  You have been formally trained in the sciences of alchemical 
  combat, to better guard against the horrors of the deep. 
  BENEFIT: You gain a +1 trait bonus on attack rolls with thrown 
  alchemical weapons (but not alchemist’s bombs). Additionally, 
  the range increment of such weapons is effectively increased 
  by 5 ft. when you throw them. 
   
  GRIM OUTLOOK 
  You are the last to back down from a social standoff. 
  BENEFIT: You gain a +5 trait bonus on opposed Charisma checks.

  to create a potion or wondrous item. 
   
  STONE-FACED 
  Your stern and chiseled features are impossible to read. 
  PREREQUISITES: svirfneblin 
  BENEFIT: Any Sense Motive skill check made to gain a “hunch” 
  about you or your motives takes a -10 penalty. 
   
   
   
  SPELL SEER 
  You are a student of secret svirfneblin spellcrafts. 
  BENEFIT: You gain a +2 trait bonus on Knowledge (arcana) and 
  Spellcraft skill checks while your spell resistance is lowered. 
   
  VAULT GUARDIAN 
  As a guardian of the svirfneblin’s deep vaults, you have 
  developed a keen eye, and an even keener sense of paranoia. 
  BENEFIT: You gain a +5 trait bonus on Perception skill checks 
  made to see through a magical disguise, such as those made 
  possible by spells like alter self or the change shape ability. 
   
   
   
  ALTERNATE RACIAL TRAITS 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
  As described in the Pathfinder® Roleplaying Game: Advanced Race Guide ™, alternate racial rules allow 
  you to exchange standard racial traits for new ones, such as those presented below. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
  CLOISTERED MIND:  Svirfneblin with this racial trait gain a +4 
  bonus on saves against divination spells and against figment 
  and pattern effects. 
     This racial trait replaces the fortunate trait. 
   
  DEEP SHADOWS:  Svirfneblin with this racial trait may cast 
  darkness once per day as a spell-like ability with a caster level 
  equal to their Hit Dice. A svirfneblin with the skilled racial trait 
  gains a +4 racial bonus on Stealth skill checks to hide within 
  the area affected by this ability, even when not underground. 
     This racial trait replaces the defensive training trait. 
  FEYBONDED:  Thanks to an intense connection with his First 
  World ancestors, any time a svirfneblin with this racial trait 
  receives magical healing, he heals an additional 1 point. 
     This racial trait replaces the hatred trait. 
   
  SPELL SHY:  A few svirfneblin possess a rare ability to spurn the 
  arcane. Any arcane spell that fails to overcome a svirfneblin’s 
  innate spell resistance may not target or affect the svirfneblin 
  again for 1 round. The svirfneblin may suppress or renew this 
  ability as a standard action. 
     This racial trait replaces the fortunate and skilled traits.

  RACIAL ARCHETYPES 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
  As described in the Pathfinder® Roleplaying Game: Advanced Player’s Guide ™, archetypes are variant 
  sets of class abilities which modify their corresponding base classes via the use of alternate class 
  features. When a character selects a class, he must normally choose to use the standard class features 
  found in the class's original source – the exception is if he chooses to adopt an archetype. Each alternate 
  class feature presented in an archetype replaces a specific class feature from its parent class. 
     When an archetype includes multiple alternate class features, a character must take them all – often 
  blocking the character from ever gaining certain standard class features, but replacing them with other 
  options. All other class features of the base class that aren't mentioned among the alternate class 
  features remain unchanged and are acquired normally when the character reaches the appropriate 
  level, unless noted otherwise. A character who takes an alternate class feature does not count as having 
  the class feature that was replaced for the purposes of meeting any requirements or prerequisites. 
     A character can take more than one archetype and garner additional alternate class features, but none 
  of the alternate class features can replace or alter the same class feature from the base class as another 
  alternate class feature. Racial archetypes are typically available only to members of the indicated race, 
  though such options rarely interact with the racial traits of that race. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
  THE FUNGAL SHEPHERD  (SVERFNEBLIN DRUID ARCHETYPE) 
   
  Strange and mysterious guardians of fungal groves and underground wildernesses, fungal shepherds are an enigmatic circle of 
  druids with a close connection to fey, fungi, and the wild growth of the First World. 
   
  A fungal shepherd has the following class features. 
   
  Class Skills: Fungal shepherds add Knowledge (dungeoneering) to their list of class skills, and remove Knowledge (geography) 
  from that list. 
   
  Fungal Growth (Su): As a standard action, the fungal shepherd can conjure supernatural spores which take root in an adjacent 
  square, immediately filling the space with a tangle of fungal growth (treat as light undergrowth). The fungus remains healthy for 
  1 minute, at which time it degrades and disintegrates instantaneously. 
     This ability replaces nature bond. 
   
  Fairy Circle (Su): At 2nd level, a fungal shepherd can shape an area affected by his fungal growth ability into a ‘fairy circle:’ an 
  arrangement of mushrooms and fungus taking the rough shape of a circle. Once created, a fairy circle persists for 10 minutes. If 
  the fungal shepherd stands within the fairy circle, living, corporeal creatures summoned by his conjuration (summoning) spells 
  gain the fey creature template (see the Pathfinder® Roleplaying Game: Bestiary 3 ™ sourcebook for a description of the fey 
  creature template). If the fungal shepherd summons more than one creature with a single conjuration (summoning), only one 
  creature gains the template. A fairy circle is fragile, and easily broken. If the fungus comprising the circle takes even 1 point of 
  damage, the circle is broken. A fairy circle has an AC of 5, and no hardness. 
     A fungal shepherd can use this ability once per day at 2nd level, plus one additional time for every five levels beyond 2nd (to a 
  maximum of four times per day at 17th level. 
     This ability replaces woodland stride. 
   
  Subterranean Step (Ex): At 3rd level, a fungal shepherd gains an ability similar to the druid’s trackless step class feature, except 
  that this ability functions only when the fungal shepherd is underground. 
     This ability alters trackless step. 
   
  Fungus Shape (Su): At 4th level, a fungal shepherd gains the ability to wild shape. This ability functions at his druid level, but a 
  fungal shepherd cannot use wild shape to adopt an animal or elemental form. Instead, when he gains this ability at 4th level, he 
  can assume the form of a Small or Medium plant. This functions like plant shape I, except that the fungal shepherd does not yet 
  gain access to the constrict or poison abilities of the plant form assumed. The plant shape assumed is always covered in fungus. 
     At 8th level, the fungal shepherd’s wild shape gains the full range of abilities available from plant shape I. At 10th level, the 
  fungal shepherd can assume the form of a Large or Tiny plant, and his wild shape ability now functions like plant shape II. At 
  12th level, a fungal shepherd can assume the form of a Huge plant, and his wild shape ability now functions like plant shape III. 
     This ability replaces, and otherwise functions like, wild shape.
