Known in the northern lands as “Shield-Maidens” due to their disdain for armor other than shields, the Amazons are a race of humanoids dominated by the female. They are said to have originated in the Ament Lands, far to the south, and over millennia migrated, pillaged, and battled their way north. In the north, Amazons can be found in their castle near Sea Rune on the Pagan coast north of Ossary. They can also be found in thesouthern lands in and around the city of Rallu and near Ghinor and the Ament Tundra. Mercenary Amazons can be found nearly every fighting force in the Wilderlands. Friendly with most forest dwelling races, they often unite to protect an area endangered by woodsmen or some natural calamity. Amazons frequently have trained animal companions. The Amazons near Sea Rune are rumored to trained lions as pets. Highly dexterous and very well toned they are noted for preferring little or no armor in combat grouped combat, they fight in unison as if telepathically linked with their sisters. They often anticipate the tactics opponents. Amazons take their captives as slaves, though only female slaves are put to work. Male slaves (including male Amazons) are used solely for reproductive purposes and sport. Pure lineage Amazon males are often traded between queens of different tribes. Male Amazons are not  pampered as are the female concubines of other races, they are instead expected to maintain themselves in top athletic condition though not to learn the ways of war.    

Description:

  Fair to light brown skin, blonde or red hair green eyes, 5 ft. 6 in., 110 lbs., lithe to voluptuous build typically Lawful Neutral.     Racial Traits: As per the PHB for Human, plus   • Attributes: +2 Wisdom, +2 Charisma   • Skills: Handle Animal and Survival are class skills   • Armor Aversion: Due to their disdain for armor Amazons do not normally gain Armor Proficiency feats as a result of their starting class. If their starting class would ordinarily grant them the Heavy Armor Proficiency feat (fighter, paladin, cleric, amazon warrior), then the Amazon gains the Light Armor Proficiency feat (and no other). If their starting class does not grant the Heavy Armor Proficiency feat, then they do not gain any Armor Proficiency feat despite what the class may ordinarily provide. Amazons may, however, select Armor Proficiency feats as they would other feats both at character creation or when a feat is gained due to level advancement. Amazons are automatically proficient with all types of shields.   • Combat Precognition (Su): All Amazons wearing no armor or Amazon Armor (see that class) gain the Supernatural psionic ability of combat precognition, giving them a +1 psionic bonus to AC. This bonus does not apply if the character is flat footed, has lost her Dexterity bonus or is unconscious.   • Gender Interaction: Default “unfriendly” attitude towards males of all races, unless you yourself are male. Males suffer a +2 racial modifier to the DC of any social- or Charisma-based skills they attempt against you due to your natural dislike of them (but not including magical effects) unless you yourself are male.   • Favored Class: Amazon warrior or druid. Despite their innate psionic abilities, Amazons are rarely psions or psychic warriors.     Languages: Amazon.
