Nagas are snake-like demi-humans. Their lowerhalf is like a snake-tail, and they have a forked tongue. Their entire body also has a liquid sheen to it, that reflects light and makes it hard for dirt (or anything else) to stick to it. They also have long claws.

History

Nagas are one of the few races to be able to live on both land and in water, but they don't really feel at home in either. The race in general was very submissive, and they were heavily enslaved or wiped out by elvish supremacists. Due to their versatility, they were used to soften up attack targets before the higher ups moved in for the kill. Although they were freed when the movement was stopped, all current-day naga are descendants of these, and the race in general is lamentful of this fact. They found no immediate place among the other civilized races, and tend to stick to their own villages.

Nagas are withdrawn, but more in a shy than xenophobic sense. In general, they are saddened individuals, unsure of anything or anyone.

Racial Abilities

• Natural Emotional State: Sorrow - Nagas tend to be depressed and confused. Socially they can be suckered by a charmer, but they're also the most grounded of the races, and can recognize reality more easily than the others.
• Prehensile Tail - Naga can use their tail to trip others or slightly manipulate their environment.
• Snakeskin - Naga skin is very slippery, reducing the effects of friction. In turn, they are harder to grapple, but also have a harder time recovering from reeling.

Combat

• Small bonus to unarmed combat
