The most unchanging of the Elemani, these types are known for their everlasting loyalty and amazing defensive abilities. Though a few have been known to be abrasive fighters, most are very laid back and strong in character. Their defense and knowledge thereof is almost undisputed.

Natural Life Span

Elemani can live to be around 300 years old naturally, if they aren’t killed first.  The average age of an Elemani on the street is around 35—50.

Base Growth

Earth Elemani have a base growth of 6 Body Points per level, and 5 Skill Points per level.  They gain 1 life every 4 levels, starting at 3rd and maxing out at 24th. Earth Elemani have a maximum level of 35, and a maximum XP of 1201.

Tough as a Rock

Their skin, though often regarded as soft to the touch, is rock hard. This natural advantage allows them to ignore physical damage to some extent, giving them a toughness of 1.

One with the Earth

Once per day, the Earth Elemani can become an indestructible stone statue rooted to the ground.  This effect lasts for five minutes, in which the Elemani is fully aware of everything going on around them.  It should be noted, this can only be done when the character has direct contact with the ground—not while suspended, or for any reason is in the air. The phrase “One with the Earth” is announced at the time of use.

Extra Skill

At levels 20 and 30 an Earth Elemani character has the option of purchasing five extra skill to add to their max for 15xp. This trait can only be purchased at levels 20 and 30 and at no other time. This trait does not count against racial maximums and instantly raises the maximum skill of the character by five points. If purchased both times it raises this races’ maximum skill to 90 by level 35. 

Makeup Requirements

Earth Elemani have brown to stony grey skin, often with a slight hint of metal and ore, which is to be represented by makeup or tight clothing across their entire body.  Additionally, Earth Elemani have dark hair, sunken eyes, and a rough look.

Advantages: Pick 1

Tough as a Rock: Character can purchase all ranks of the Endurance Skill at –1XP.

Thick Skinned: Character has 10 Natural Armor.

Strong as a Rock: Character has +1 Strength.

Hard to Kill: Character has a standard Death count of 6 minutes, rather than 5.

Identify Rock: Can identify any natural rock on a10 second count.

Disadvantages: Pick 2

Acrophobia: A roleplay-intensive fear of high places, particularly where the character is not touching the ground. This is coupled by a decrease of Maximum Body by –25%, and the character tales 25% of their maximum body in Full Effect Mental Damage when more than 10 feet above the ground in an unsupported structure (i.e., if on an Airship or hung in the air, not on the second story of a building.)

Brittle: Sunder Armor and Cleave Armor are taken as a Full Effect Fatal Blow.

Weakness to Explosions: Character takes 10 body from all Destroy Effects; with explosives, this is 10x the damage called with the explosive taglines. The attack still destroys any items as dictated by the attack.

Made of Earth: Character requires both Veterinary Healing and Elemental Lore: Earth in order to be healed.

Double Duration and intensity for all Psychoactive Gas attacks. In the case of a time delayed attack (such as Slow Death), the delay is halved.  Damage and effects of Psychoactive Gas attacks are doubled; Death Gas is taken as a Slay; all body damage is doubled.
