Alvus: Rusati in The Fourth Age of Tel | World Anvil

Alvus: Rusati

Rusati Adventurer by Hero Forge

Description

Rusatians are a variety of Alvus in which only one out of every one hundred births are male. Physically, all Rusatians females are extremely beautiful and curvaceous with ebony hair and complexions that match the sands of their desert homeland. However, unlike other Alvi, their eyes resemble gemstones and glow with a faint aura. As a people, Rusatians seem to possess a deep connection to the Ar, and as such, many of them display a natural affinity for magic use.

Male Rusatians are known as Wazir. Due to their rarity and their importance in the continuance of the Rusatians as a species, it is quite uncommon that a Rusatian tribe allows one to leave their oasis home to enter the adventuring life.

Special Traits

When outdoors at night, all Rusatians have Darkvision up to 60'.
Like other Alvi, Rusatians possess immunity to ghoul paralysis.
In addition to the other multiclass options available to Alvi, Rusatians may also be Cleric/Magic-Users as long as they are devoted to a deity of magic.
Due to their innate beauty and charisma, Rusatians command a great deal of devotion from their followers. As such, hirelings and retainers who stay within a 60' radius of a Rusatian make loyalty and morale checks at +1
A Rusatian's allies save vs. charm or fear at +2 as long as they stay within 60' of her
Once per day, a Rusatian may lay on hands as the Paladin ability, to heal 1 HP per character level, plus any Charisma bonus.
Living as nomads in the deepest heart of the Senu Desert, wandering from oasis to oasis, Rusatians have evolved to not share some of the advantages possessed by their forest-dwelling brethren. They cannot detect secret doors with a cursory glance, nor do they receive any bonus to detect secret doors when actively searching for them. Likewise, Rusatians do not receive any bonus against surprise.
