NEW ANCESTRIES
SAVAGE PATHFINDER
AASIMAR
Aasimars are humans with a significant amount of celestial or other good outsider blood
in their ancestry. While not always benevolent, aasimars are more inclined toward acts of
kindness rather than evil, and they gravitate toward faiths or organizations associated with
celestials. Aasimar heritage can lie dormant for generations, only to appear suddenly in the
child of two apparently human parents.
Most societies interpret aasimar births as good omens, though it must be acknowledged
that some aasimars take advantage of the reputation of their kind, brutally subverting the
expectations of others with acts of terrifying cruelty or abject venality. “It’s always the one
you least suspect” is the axiom these evil aasimars live by, and they often lead double lives as
upstanding citizens or false heroes, keeping their corruption well hidden. Thankfully, these
few are the exception and not the rule.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Aasimars look mostly human except for some minor physical
trait that reveals their unusual heritage. Typical aasimar features
include hair that shines like metal, jewel-toned eyes, lustrous skin
color, or even glowing, golden halos.
SOCIETY
Aasimars cannot truly be said to have an independent society of
their own. As an offshoot of humanity, they adopt the societal
norms around them, though most find themselves drawn to
those elements of society that work for the redress of injustice
and the assuagement of suffering. This sometimes puts them
on the wrong side of the law in more tyrannical societies,
but aasimars can be careful and cunning when necessary,
able to put on a dissembling guise to divert the attention of
oppressors elsewhere.
While corrupt aasimars may be loners or establish secret
societies to conceal their involvement in crime, righteous
aasimars are often found congregating in numbers as part of
good organizations, especially (though not always) churches and
religious orders.
Relations: It is unclear why the touch of the celestial is felt so
much more strongly in humanity than in those of a different
heritage, though it may be that humanity’s inherent adaptability
and affinity for change is responsible for the evolution of aasimars.
Perhaps the endemic traits of other ancestries are too deeply
bred, too strongly present, and too resistant to change. Whatever
dalliances non-humans may have had with the denizens of the
upper planes, the progeny of such couplings are vanishingly rare
and have never bred true.
Even if they generally tend toward human societies, aasimars
can become comfortable in virtually any environment. They
have an easy social grace and are disarmingly personable.
8
They get on well with half-elves, who share a similar not-quite-
human marginal status, though their relations are often less
cordial with half-orcs, who have no patience for aasimars’
overly pretty words and faces.
Elven courtiers sometimes dismiss aasimars as unsophisticated,
and criticize them for relying on natural charm to overcome faux
Ancestries
pas. Perhaps of all the known ancestries, gnomes find aasimars
most fascinating, and have an intense appreciation for their
varied appearances as well as the mystique surrounding their
celestial heritage.
Religion: For the most part, aasimars favor deities of honor, valor,
protection, healing, and refuge, or simple and prosaic faiths of
home, community, and family. Some also follow the paths
of art, music, and lore, finding truth and wisdom in beauty
and learning.
ADVENTURERS
Aasimars frequently become adventurers, as they often don't
quite feel at home in human society and feel the pull of some
greater destiny.
Languages: Common, Celestial.
DARKVISION: Aasimar eyes are able to pierce the darkness.
They ignore penalties for Illumination up to 10” (20 yards).
DIPLOMATIC: Aasimar start with a d6 in Persuasion instead of
d4. This increases maximum Persuasion to d12 + 1.
DAYLIGHT: Summoning celestial light, aasimar can illuminate
an area. Once per day, as a limited free action, the aasimar cast
minor light as an Innate Power.
NATIVE OUTSIDER: An aasimar's Type is Outsider rather than
Humanoid.
SPIRITED: Aasimar are strong willed and insightful. They start with a d6 in Spirit instead of
a d4. This increases maximum Spirit to d12 + 1.
ALTERNATE ANCESTRAL ABILITIES

CELESTIAL CRUSADER: Some aasimars follow their destiny to war against the powers of
ultimate evil. These individuals gain Favored Enemy (Outsider) as per the Ranger Class
Edge in Pathfinder for Savage Worlds. This replaces Diplomatic.
EXALTED RESISTANCE: An aasimar with this ability gains the Arcane Resistance Edge even
if she does not meet the Requirements. This replaces Spirited.
HALO: Some aasimar possess the unique ability to manifest halos. These aasimar's Daylight
ability creates a halo shaped light centered on their heads. When the halo is manifested, the
aasimar gains a free reroll on Tests against evil creatures. This replaces Darkvision.

CATFOLK
SAVAGE PATHFINDER
Catfolk are natural explorers who rarely tire of trailblazing, but such efforts are not limited to
the search for distant lands. Many catfolk see personal growth and development as equally
valid avenues of exploration. Catfolk are curious by nature, and their culture never discourages
inquisitiveness, but rather fosters and encourages it.
Outsiders see them as quirky extroverts, but within catfolk tribes there is no shame attached
to minor peculiarities, eccentricities, or foolhardiness. All but the most inwardly focused
catfolk enjoy being the center of attention, but not at the expense of their tribe, whether it’s the
one the catfolk are born into or the tribe they choose through the bonds of friendship. Catfolk
tend to be both generous and loyal to their family and friends.
Catfolk are lithe and slender, standing between dwarves and humans in stature. While clearly
humanoid, they possess many feline features, including a coat of soft fine fur, slit pupils,
catlike ears, and a sleek, slender tail. Their fingers terminate in small, sharp, retractable claws,
though they are typically not powerful enough to be used as weapons. Some members of the
species—either by quirk of birth or from years of honing —can use them with deadly effect.
Feline whiskers are not uncommon, and hair and eye color vary greatly.
SOCIETY
While self-expression is an important aspect of catfolk culture, it is mitigated by a strong sense
of community and group effort. The pursuit of personal power never comes before the health
and wellbeing of the tribe. More than one enemy has underestimated this seemingly gentle
people only to discover much too late that their cohesion also provides them great strength.
Catfolk prefer to be led by their most competent members,
usually a council of sub-chieftains chosen through consensus
or election. The sub-chiefs then choose a chieftain to lead in
times of danger and to mediate
disputes among the sub-chiefs.
The chieftain is the most capable
member of the tribe, and is often
magically talented.
Catfolk who settle in more urban and
civilized areas still cling to a similar tribal
structure, but often see friends outside the tribe, even non-
catfolk, as part of their extended tribe. Within adventuring
groups, catfolk who do not consider themselves the obvious
choice as chieftain often defer to the person who most
resembles their cultural ideal of a chieftain.
Relations: Adaptable and curious, catfolk get
along with almost any ancestry that extends
reciprocal goodwill. They acclimate easily
to halflings, humans, and especially elves.
Catfolk and elves share a passionate nature, as
well as a love of music, dance, and storytelling; elven
communities often mentor catfolk tribes, though such
elves are careful not to act in a patronizing manner
toward their feline friends.
Gnomes make natural companions for catfolk, as
catfolk enjoy their strange and obsessive qualities.

don’t understand orcs’ savagery and
propensity for self-destruction. Half-orcs,
on the other hand, intrigue catfolk, especially
those half-orcs who strive to excel beyond the
deleterious and hateful nature of their savage kin.
Religion: The gods Desna, Cayden Cailean, and
Shelyn all speak to the souls of catfolk, and
many tribes depict the latter two as catfolk
themselves. The quest for self-improvement
has led many an individual to explore
different philosophies, including the
worship of Irori.
ADVENTURERS
Natural born trackers, the hunter-gatherer aspect of their tribes pushes
many catfolk toward occupations as rangers and guides, but such roles don’t
always speak to their love of performance art, be it song, dance, or storytelling.
Catfolk legends also speak of a rich tradition of great sorcerers. Those catfolk
who internalize their wanderlust often become wizards and monks. Catfolk
understand that exploration and self-knowledge can lead down many roads,
and are accepting of nearly all professions and ways of life.
Languages: Common, Catfolk.
AGILE: Catfolk are graceful and agile. They start with a d6 in Agility instead of a d4. This
increases maximum Agility to d12 + 1.
CAT'S LUCK: Catfolk get a free reroll on failed Evasion rolls.
LOW LIGHT VISION: Like other feline creatures, catfolk can see perfectly in low light. They
ignore penalties for Dim and Dark Illumination.
SPRINTER: Catfolk increase their running die by one die type.

CAT’S CLAWS: Feral catfolk have stronger and more developed claws than other members
of their species. Catfolk with this ability have a pair of claws that deal Str+d4 damage (see
Natural Weapons in Pathfinder for Savage Worlds). This replaces Agile.
NIMBLE FALLER: Some catfolk have an amazing sense of balance and keen knowledge of
their own center of gravity. Catfolk with this ability land on their feet even when they take
damage from a fall. Furthermore, catfolk with this ability reduce falling damage by 1d6 + 1.
This replaces Sprinter.
SCENT: These catfolk favor a keen sense of smell over sensitive sight. Catfolk with this
ability ignore up to 4 points of penalties when attacking foes hidden by magical darkness,
invisibility or similar abilities. This replaces Low Light Vision.
11
DHAMPIRS
SAVAGE PATHFINDER
The half-living children of vampires and human females, dhampirs are progenies of tragedy.
The circumstances of a dhampir’s conception are often called into question but scarcely
understood, as few mothers survive the childbirth. Those who do often abandon their children
and refuse to speak of the matter. While some speculate dhampirs result when mortals couple
with vampires, others claim they form when a pregnant woman suffers a vampire bite.
Some particularly zealous scholars even contest dhampirs’ status as a unique ancestry,
instead viewing them as humans suffering from an unholy affliction. Indeed, this hypothesis
is strengthened by dhampirs’ seeming inability to reproduce; their offspring are inevitably
humans. Regardless, they live and die just like any other mortal creatures, despite possessing
a supernatural longevity akin to that of elves.
Hardship and suffering fill a dhampir’s formative years. Most grow up as orphans, and
despite their exquisite features, they face a lifetime of prejudice, mistrust, fear, and persecution.
Humans who witness the nature of a dhampir child’s supernatural powers or sensitivity to
daylight display an array of reactions ranging from awe to terror to outright hatred.
Eventually, a dhampir must learn to cope with these difficulties and find his place in the
world. Dhampirs keep few, if any, close companions. Even with those they feel attached to,
most dhampirs are sullen and reserved. Some fear the persecution heaped upon them may
be transferred to their companions, whereas others worry their own bloodlust will one day
overwhelm them and they’ll inadvertently turn upon their friends.
Tall and slender and with well-defined musculature, dhampirs
look like statuesque humans of unearthly beauty. Their hair,
eye, and skin colors resemble unnerving versions of their
mothers’; many possess a ghastly pallor, particularly in
the sunlight, while those with dark complexions often
possess skin the color of a bruise.
While many dhampirs can pass as humans, their
features are inevitably more pronounced and they
move with an unnaturally fluid grace. All
dhampirs have elongated incisors. While not
true fangs, these teeth are sharp enough to
draw blood, and many suffer a desire to
indulge in sanguinary delights, despite the
fact that it provides no physical benefit.
SOCIETY
Dhampirs have no culture of their own, nor do
they have any known lands or even communities.
Often born in secret and abandoned at orphanages
or left to die, they tend to live solitary lives.
Individuals acquire the cultural beliefs and teachings
of the regions in which they grow up, and adopt
additional philosophies over the course of their lives.
This ability to adapt to a variety of circumstances
provides dhampirs with a social camouflage that
hides them from both predators and prey.
Relations: As dhampirs are scions of evil, few outsiders
view them favorably. They share an affinity for those
12
half-breeds whose ancestry also sets them apart from human society,
particularly tieflings and half-orcs. Humans view them with a
combination of fear and pity, though such feelings often devolve
into hatred and violence. Others, such as dwarves, elves, and
halflings, simply shun them.
Religion: Dhampirs who become vampire hunters tend to
Ancestries
worship Sarenrae or Pharasma, depending on their moral
stance. Those who have spiraled into evil and embraced their
undead heritage typically worship the demon lord Zura
the Vampire Queen or Urgathoa, goddess of
the undead.
ADVENTURERS
The life of an adventurer comes naturally to most
dhampirs, since constant persecution condemns many to
spend their days wandering. Regardless of their reasons,
most dhampirs simply feel more at home on the road than
in a settlement.
Almost universally, those inclined toward
magic pursue the field of necromancy,
though dhampir alchemists have been
known to obsess over transforming their
own bodies with potions and mutagens.
Languages: Common.
AGILE: Dhampirs are graceful and agile. They start with a d6
in Agility instead of a d4. This increases maximum Agility to d12 + 1.
DETECT UNDEAD: As a limited action, a dhampir can sense undead within 20"
(40 yards). As a limited free action, the dhampir knows the number of undead
and can estimate how powerful each one is.
LIGHT SENSITIVE: Dhamphirs suffer a −1 on Trait rolls requiring sight while in bright light.
NIGHT VISION: Dhampirs ignore all penalties for Illumination.
REDUCED VITALITY: Dhampirs suffer −1 Toughness.
UNDEAD RESISTANCE: Damphirs get a free reroll to resist contracting diseases and are
immune to Energy Drain (see Energy Drain in Pathfinder for Savage Worlds).

DAYBORN: A few dhampirs are born during the day under the blessings of priests, and their
blood has weaker ties to their undead bloodline than others. Such dhampirs are unhindered
by daylight and lose Light Sensitivity and replace Night Vision with Low Light Vision.
FANGS: On occasion, a dhampir may inherit his father’s lengthy canines. These dhampir
can make bite attacks dealing Str+d4 damage (See Natural Weapons in Pathfinder for Savage
Worlds). This replaces Undead Resistance.
VAMPIRIC EMPATHY: Though dhampirs often relate poorly to humanoids, some share an
affinity with baser creatures. These dhampirs gain the ability to communicate with bats,
rats, and wolves. In addition, they get a free reroll on failed Persuasion rolls when dealing
with these animals. This replaces Detect Undead.
13
GOBLINS
SAVAGE PATHFINDER
It’s been almost 20 years since the end of the Goblinblood Wars that scorched the Chitterwood,
forcing dozens of tribes into hiding. Now with new threats rising up, the many tribal elders
have put aside their reckless ways in the hope of forging alliances that give them a chance at
survival. While many have stayed to protect their homelands, others have become refugees,
with some traveling to Absalom in search of a home that might offer them sanctuary in a world
that does not trust them.
Goblins are short, ugly humanoids. Their scrawny bodies are topped with oversized and
usually hairless heads with massive ears and beady red or occasionally yellow eyes. Goblins’
skin tone varies based on the surrounding environment; common skin tones include green,
gray, and blue, though black and even pale white goblins have been sighted. Their voracious
appetites are served well by their huge mouths filled with jagged teeth.
SOCIETY
Even those goblins who break from their destructive past often subtly perpetuate some of
the qualities that have been tied to the creatures for millennia. Goblins tend to flock to strong
leaders, fiercely protecting those companions who have protected them from physical harm or
offered a sympathetic ear when they learn of the goblins’ woes. Some goblins remain deeply
fascinated with fire, or fearlessly devour meals that might turn others’ stomachs. Others are
endless tinkerers and view their companions’ trash simply as components of gadgets yet to
be made. Occasionally, fellow adventurers find these proclivities unsettling or odd, but more
often than not, goblins’ friends consider these qualities endearing.
Goblins reach adolescence by the age of three and adulthood four or five years later. In theory,
goblins could live 50 years or more, but without anyone to protect them from each other
or themselves, few live past 20 years of age. Goblins typically stand about 3 feet tall, with
skin colors that range from green to gray to blue.
Relations: Though goblins’ culture has splintered radically, their reputation across the
Inner Sea region has changed little. As such, goblins who travel to larger cities are frequently
subjected to derision, and as a result many goblins work twice as hard at proving their
worth. Those who befriend a goblin quickly learn that while
a goblin’s friendship might include all manners of pranks,
such fun comes from a place of true acceptance —
something that a goblin does not give freely.
Religion: Many goblin adventurers typically
worship Cayden Cailean.
14
ADVENTURERS
Some backgrounds make for particularly good adventurers.
Goblins who come from lawless tribes may seek refuge
while entertainers may seek a living performing for
audiences around the world. Many goblins consider
alchemy, since they love fire or life as a bard, since many
Ancestries
goblins love songs.
Scrappy survivors often take to the role of a rogue
who darts about the shadows, though their natural
charismatic nature also draws them to the pursuit of
magical power, such as that of a sorcerer or wizard.
Languages: Common, Goblin.
AGILE: Goblins are fast and agile. They start with a d8 in
Agility instead of a d4. This increases maximum Agility to d12 + 2.
CAPABLE RIDER: Goblins start with a d4 in Riding.
DARKVISION: Goblin eyes are able to pierce the darkness. They ignore
penalties for Illumination up to 10” (20 yards).
OUTSIDER (Major): Almost every non-goblin culture is suspicious
of goblins. They subtract 2 from all Persuasion rolls and are often bullied by others.
SIZE −1: Averaging roughly three feet tall, goblins reduce their Size and Toughness by 1.
SNEAKY: Goblins start with a d6 in Stealth instead of a d4. This increases maximum Stealth
to d12 + 1.

EAT ANYTHING: Raised with little or no proper food, many goblins have learned to survive
by eating whatever they happen across and can digest nearly anything without getting
sick. Goblins with this ability get a free reroll on Survival checks to forage for food and a +2
bonus on Vigor checks caused by consuming toxic substances. This ancestral ability replaces
Capable Rider.
HARD HEAD, BIG TEETH: Goblins are known for their balloonlike heads and enormous maws,
but some have even more exaggeratedly large heads filled with razor-sharp teeth. Goblins
with this trait gain a bite (Str+d4). This ancestral ability replaces Sneaky.
OVER-SIZED EARS: While goblins’ ears are never dainty, these goblins have freakishly large
ears capable of picking up even the smallest sounds. Goblins with this ancestral ability start
with a d6 in Notice instead of a d4. This increases maximum Notice to d12 + 1. This replaces
Capable Rider.

TIEFLINGS
SAVAGE PATHFINDER
Simultaneously more and less than mortal, tieflings are the offspring of humans and fiends.
With otherworldly blood and traits to match, tieflings are often shunned and despised out of
reactionary fear. Most tieflings never know their fiendish sire, as the coupling that produced
their curse occurred generations earlier. The taint is long-lasting and persistent, often
manifesting at birth or sometimes later in life, as a powerful, though often unwanted, boon.
Despite their fiendish appearance and netherworld origins, tieflings have a human’s capacity
for choosing their fate, and while many embrace their dark heritage and side with fiendish
powers, others reject their darker predilections. Though the power of their blood calls nearly
every tiefling to fury, destruction, and wrath, even the spawn of a succubus can become a saint
and the grandchild of a pit fiend an unsuspecting hero.
No two tieflings look alike; the fiendish blood running through their veins manifests
inconsistently, granting them an array of fiendish traits. One might appear as a human with
small horns, a barbed tail, and oddly colored eyes, while another might manifest a mouth of
fangs, tiny wings, and claws, and yet another might possess the perpetual smell of blood, foul
incenses, and brimstone. Typically, these qualities hearken back in some way to the manner of
fiend that spawned the tiefling’s bloodline, but even then the mixture of human and fiendish
blood is rarely ruled by sane, mortal laws, and the vast flexibility it produces in tieflings is a
thing of wonder, running the gamut from oddly beautiful to utterly terrible.
SOCIETY
Tieflings on the Material Plane rarely create their own settlements and holdings. Instead, they
live on the fringes of the land where they were born or choose to settle. Most societies view
tieflings as aberrations or curses, but in cultures where there are frequent interactions with
summoned fiends, and especially where the worship of demons, devils,
or other evil outsiders is legal or obligatory, tieflings might be much
more populous and accepted, even cherished as blessings of their
fiendish overlords.
Tieflings seldom see another of their own kind, and so usually
simply adopt the culture and mannerisms of their human
parents. On other planes, tieflings form enclaves
of their own kind. Often such enclaves are less
than harmonious—the diversity of tiefling
forms and philosophies is an inherent source
of conflict between them, and cliques and factions
constantly form in an ever-shifting hierarchy
where only the most opportunistic or devious gain
advantage. Only those of common bloodlines or
those who manage to divorce their worldview from
the inherently selfish, devious, and evil nature of their
birth manage to find true acceptance, camaraderie, and
common ground among others of their kind.
Relations: Tieflings face a significant amount of
prejudice from most other cultures, who view them as
fiend-spawn, seeds of evil, monsters, and lingering curses
placed upon the world. Far too often, civilized ancestries
shun or marginalize them, while more monstrous ones simply
fear and reject them unless forced or cowed into acceptance. But
half-elves, half-orcs, and — most oddly — aasimars tend to view
16
them as kindred spirits who are too often rejected or
who don’t fit into most societies by virtue of their birth.
The widespread assumption that tieflings are innately
evil — ill-founded though it may be — prevents many from
easily fitting into most cultures on the Material Plane
except in exceedingly cosmopolitan or
Ancestries
planar-influenced nations.
Religion: Though many assume tieflings
worship devils and demons, their religious
views are as varied as their physical forms.
Individual tieflings worship all manner of deities,
but they are just as likely to shun religion all together.
Those who give in to the dark whispers that haunt the
psyche of all tieflings serve all manner of powerful fiends.
ADVENTURERS
Tieflings rarely integrate into the mortal societies they
call home. Drawn to the adventuring life as a method
of escape, they hope to make a better life for themselves,
to prove their freedom from their blood’s taint, or to
punish a world that fears and rejects them.
Languages: Abyssal, Common, and Infernal.
AGILE: Tieflings start with a d6 in Agility instead
of a d4. This increases maximum Agility to d12 + 1.
DARKVISION: Tieflings ignore penalties for Illumination up to 10” (20 yards).
DARKNESS: Calling on the shadows, a tiefling can darken an area. Once per day as a limited
free action, the tiefling can cast minor darkness as an Innate Power.
FIENDISH SORCERY: Tiefling sorcerers with the Abyssal or Infernal bloodlines reduce the
Rank Requirement for Advanced Bloodline to Veteran.
INTELLIGENCE: Tieflings start with a d6 in Smarts instead of a d4. This increases maximum
Smarts to d12 + 1.
NATIVE OUTSIDER: A tiefling's Type is Outsider rather than Humanoid.
OUTSIDER (MINOR): Most cultures are suspicious of tieflings. They subtract 2 from all
Persuasion rolls and are often resented or belittled by others.

FIENDISH SPRINTER: Some tieflings have feet that are more bestial than human. Whether
their feet resemble those of a clawed predator or are the cloven hooves common to many of
their kind, these tieflings gain the Fleet-Footed Edge. This replaces Intelligence.
PREHENSILE TAIL: Some tieflings have long, flexible tails that can be used to carry items.
While they cannot wield weapons with their tails, they can use them to retrieve stowed
objects carried on their persons as a free action. This replaces Fiendish Sorcery.
VESTIGIAL WINGS: Some tieflings possess a pair of undersized, withered, or stunted wings
like a mockery of those of their fiendish forbearer. Sometimes these wings are leathery, like
those of a bat. Other times they are covered with a scattering of black, red, or violet feathers.
Rare manifestations can take even more bizarre forms. These wings provide limited lift,
allowing her to fly at Pace 6. She must make a Vigor roll at the end of every round spent
flying or take Fatigue. This replaces Fiendish Sorcery.
17
EXPANDED ANCESTRIES
SAVAGE PATHFINDER
DWARVES
Dwarves are a stoic but stern people, ensconced in cities carved from the hearts of mountains
and fiercely determined to repel enemies, like orcs and goblins. Dwarves have acquired a
reputation as dour and humorless artisans of the earth. It could be said their history shapes the
dark disposition of many dwarves, for they reside in high mountains and dangerous realms
below the earth, constantly at war with giants, goblins, and other such horrors.
Dwarves are lovers of history and tradition, and their long lifespans leads to far less in the
way of generational shifts in attitudes, styles, fashions, and trends. If a thing is not broken,
they do not fix it or change it; and if it is broken, they fix it rather than replace it. Thrifty as
a rule, dwarves are loath to discard anything unless it is truly ruined and unable to be fixed.
At the same time, dwarves’ meticulous, near-obsessive attention to detail and durability in
their craftsmanship makes that a rare occurrence, as the things they make are built to last. As
a result, virtually everything made by dwarves still sees regular use at an age when such items
would be relegated to museum pieces, dusty antique shelves, or junkyard fodder by other
ancestries. Together, these traits create the impression that dwarves are a people frozen in time.
Nothing could be further from the truth, as dwarves are both thoughtful and imaginative,
willing to experiment, if keen to refine and perfect a new technique or product before moving
on. Dwarves have achieved feats of metallurgy, stonework, and engineering that have
consistently outpaced the advances of other societies, though some non-dwarves have used
magic to supplement and perfect their own creations to achieve the same ends.
They're also typified by stubborn courage and dedication to seeing tasks through to
completion, whatever the risks. These traits led dwarves to explore and settle in environments
that would cause others to retreat. From the depths of the underworld to the highest
mountain peaks, from rusting iron citadels along rocky coasts to squat jungle ziggurats,
dwarves have established their enclaves and redoubts, holding them against all
comers or perishing to the last and leaving only their enduring monuments.
It is said that dwarves are not venturesome or inventive,
although, in reality they maintain a focus on and
dedication to each task they undertake and vet changes
thoroughly before adopting them wholeheartedly.
When faced with new circumstances and new
needs, they react by applying tried and true tools
and techniques systematically, using existing
methods whenever possible.
If necessity requires, they throw themselves
with equal vigor into developing
the next perfect procedure for
demolishing the obstacles that get
in their way. Once their desired
goal is obtained, they focus on
consolidating each new piece of
territory or conceptual advance.
Dwarves thus rarely overextend
themselves, but they also may miss
opportunities to seize the initiative and
maximize the advantages they create.
18
Dwarves are short and stocky, and stand about a foot
shorter than most humans, with wide, compact
bodies that account for their burly appearance.
They pride themselves on the long length of
their hair, and men often decorate their beards
Ancestries
with a variety of clasps and intricate braids.
Clean-shavenness on a male dwarf is a sure sign
of madness, or worse — no one familiar with
their culture trusts a beardless dwarven man.
SOCIETY
The distances between dwarves’ mountain
citadels account for many of the cultural
differences within their society. Despite these
schisms, dwarves are characterized by their
love of stonework, passion for stone- and metal-
based craftsmanship and architecture, and their
fierce hatred of giants, orcs, and goblinoids.
In some remote enclaves where these enemies
are uncommon or unheard of, dwarves’ fixation
on security combined with their pugnacious nature
leads them to find enemies or at least rivals wherever they settle. While they are
not militaristic, they learned long ago that those without axes can be hewn apart by them,
and thus all dwarves are schooled to be ready to enforce their rights and claims by force.
When their patience with diplomacy is exhausted, dwarves adopt what they call “aggressive
negotiations.”
Dwarves are driven by honor and tradition. While they are often stereotyped as standoffish,
they have a strong sense of friendship and justice, and those who win their trust understand
that while they work hard, they play even harder—especially when good ale is involved.
Relations: Dwarves and orcs have long dwelt in proximity to one another, and share a long
history of violence. Dwarves generally distrust and shun half-orcs. They find elves, gnomes,
and halflings to be too frail, flighty, or “pretty” to be worthy of proper respect. It is with
humans that dwarves share the strongest link, for humans’ industrious nature and hearty
appetites come closest to matching those of the dwarven ideal.
ADVENTURERS
Dwarves often leave the confines of their redoubts to seek glory for their clans, to find wealth
with which to enrich the fortress-homes of their birth, or to reclaim fallen dwarven citadels.

MINESIGHT: Dwarves with this ability gain Night Vision; however, they are automatically
Shaken when exposed to bright light and suffer −1 on sight-based rolls while remaining in
bright light. This replaces Darkvision.
ROCK STEPPER: Dwarves with this ability can skillfully negotiate rocky terrain. They can
ignore Difficult Ground created by rubble, broken ground, steep stairs or similar effects.
This ability replaces Stonecunning.
STONESINGER: Some dwarves’ affinity for the earth grants them greater powers. When
spending a Benny to reroll arcane skill rolls, add +2 to the total. This only applies when
activating a power with an earth or stone Trapping. This replaces Stonecunning.
19
ELVES
SAVAGE PATHFINDER
The long-lived elves are children of the natural world. They seek to live in balance with the
wild and understand it better than most other mortals. Some of this understanding is mystical,
but an equal part comes from the elves’ long lifespans. Elves can expect to remain active in
the same locale for centuries. By necessity, they must learn to maintain sustainable lifestyles,
and this is most easily done when they work with nature, rather than bending it to their will.
Elves value their privacy and traditions, and while they are often slow to make friends at both
the personal and national levels, once an outsider is accepted, the resulting alliances can last
for generations. Elves take joy in forging alliances with those that share or exceed their long
lifetimes, and often work to befriend dragons, outsiders, and fey. Those who spend their lives
among the short-lived, on the other hand, often develop a skewed perception of mortality and
become morose, the result of watching wave after wave of companions die before their eyes.
Generally taller than humans, elves possess a graceful, slender physique. It is a mistake
to consider them weak or feeble, as the thin limbs of an elf can contain surprising power.
Their eyes are wide and almond-shaped, and filled with large, vibrantly colored pupils.
The coloration of elves varies wildly as their coloration often matches their surroundings.
Although, elves of a single community may appear quite similar. Forest-dwelling elves often
have variations of green, brown, and tan in their hair, eye, and even skin tones.
Elves’ bodies change over time, taking on a physical representation
of their mental and spiritual states. Additionally, those who dwell
in a region for a long period of time find themselves physically
adapting to match their surroundings, such as taking on coloration
that reflects the local environment.
SOCIETY
Many elves feel a bond with nature and strive to live in harmony
with the natural world. When driven to live in harsher climates,
they work hard to protect and shepherd the region’s bounty, and
learn how to maximize what can be harvested. When they can carve
out a sustainable, reliable life in deserts and wastelands, they take
pride as a society in the accomplishment.
Elves have an innate gift for craftsmanship and artistry, especially when
working in wood, bone, ivory, or leather. Most find manipulating earth
and stone to be distasteful, and prefer to avoid forging, stonework, and
pottery. When such work must be done, regardless of their craftsmanship,
such “dirt-wrights” are generally seen by other elves as being a bit off.
Elves also have an appreciation for the written word, magic, and
painstaking research. Arcane research and accomplishment are seen as
both practical goals, in line with being a soldier or architect, and artistic
endeavors as great as poetry or sculpture. Within elven society, wizards
are held in extremely high regard as masters of an art both powerful and
aesthetically valued. Other spellcasters are not disdained, but do not
gain the praise lavished upon elven wizards.
Relations: Elves are prone to writing off outsiders as rash and impulsive,
yet on an individual level, they are excellent judges of character. In many
cases an elf will come to value a specific member of another culture, seeing
that individual as deserving and respectable, while still dismissing their
ancestry as a whole. If called on this behavior, the elf often doesn’t
20
understand why his “special friend” is
upset the elf has noticed the friend is
“so much better than the rest of his kind.”
Even elves who see such prejudice for what
it is must constantly watch themselves
to prevent such views from coloring
Ancestries
their thinking.
Elves are not foolish enough to dismiss all
aspects of other cultures. An elf might not
want a dwarf neighbor, but would be the first
to acknowledge dwarves’ skill at smithing
and their tenacity in facing orc threats. Elves
regard gnomes as strange (and sometimes
dangerous) curiosities, but regard their magical
talent as being worthy of praise and respect.
Halflings are often viewed with a measure of pity,
for these small folk seem to the elves to be adrift,
without a traditional home. Elves are fascinated
with humans, who seem to live in a few short
years as full a life as an elf manages in centuries.
In fact, many elves become infatuated with
humans, as evidenced by the number of half-elves in
the world. Elves have difficulty accepting crossbreeds of
any sort and usually disown such offspring. They similarly
regard half-orcs with distrust and suspicion.
Religion: Elves prefer deities who share their love of the mystic
qualities of the world—Desna and Nethys are particular favorites, the
former for her wonder and love of the wild places, and the latter for his mastery of magic.
Calistria is perhaps the most notorious of elven deities, for she represents elven ideals taken to
an extreme. Elves accept in Calistria (and her priests) behavior they would denounce in others,
because Calistria is clearly (to elves’ perceptions) serving as an example of personal artistry
and freedom of expressions, rather than seeking some base physical gratification.
ADVENTURERS
Many elves embark on adventures out of a desire to explore the world, leaving their secluded
realms to reclaim forgotten magic or search out lost kingdoms. This need is accepted as a
natural part of becoming mature and experienced individuals. For elves raised among humans,
however, life within their homes—watching friends and family swiftly age and die—is often
stifling, and the ephemeral and unfettered life of an adventurer holds a natural appeal.

DESERT RUNNER: Some elves thrive in deserts, forever roaming across burned and parched
lands. These elves get a free reroll to avoid Fatigue, Exhaustion, or other ill effects from
forced marches, starvation, thirst, or hot or cold environments. This replaces Elven Magic.
DREAMSPEAKER: A few elves have the ability to tap into the power of sleep, dreams, and
prescient reverie. An elf with this ability adds +1 to rolls made to resist suffering Fatigue
from lack of sleep. In addition, each night the elf can send his consciousness into the mind
of a dreamer he knows. The character can deliver a message before returning to his body.
The recipient remembers the message perfectly upon waking up. This replaces Keen Senses.
URBANITE: Elves living in cities for more than a century learn the ebb and flow of social
situations. These elves get a free reroll when Networking. This replaces Keen Senses.
21
GNOMES
SAVAGE PATHFINDER
Gnomes are distant relatives of the fey, and their history tells of a time when they lived in the
fey’s mysterious realm, a place where colors are brighter, the wildlands wilder, and emotions
more primal. Unknown forces drove gnomes from that realm long ago, forcing them to seek
refuge in this world; despite this, the gnomes have never completely abandoned their fey roots.
Gnomes are often driven by passions and desires that non-gnomes see as eccentric at best,
and nonsensical at worst. A gnome may risk his life to taste the food at a giant’s table, to reach
the bottom of a pit just because it would be the lowest place he’s ever been, or to tell jokes to a
dragon—and to the gnome those goals are as worthy as researching a new spell, gaining vast
wealth, or putting down a powerful evil force. While such apparently fickle and impulsive
acts are not universal among gnomes, they are common enough for the cultures as a whole to
have earned a reputation for being impetuous and at least a little mad.
Gnomes are often amazed how alike other common, civilized cultures are. It seems stranger
to a gnome that humans and elves share so many similarities than that the gnomes do not.
Indeed, gnomes often confound their allies by treating everyone who is not a gnome as part
of a single, vast non-gnome collective.
Gnomes generally stand just over three feet in height. Though their diminutive stature reduces
their ability to move quickly, gnomes often train to take advantage of their size, especially
when fighting foes larger than themselves.
The coloration of gnomes varies so wildly that many outsiders assume gnomes commonly
use dyes and illusions to change their skin and hair tones. While gnomes are certainly not
above cosmetic enhancement, their natural hues truly range over a rainbow of coloration.
Their hair tends toward vibrant colors such as the fiery orange of autumn leaves, the verdant
green of forests at springtime, or the deep reds and purples of wildflowers in bloom. Similarly,
their flesh tones range from earthy browns to floral pinks, and gnomes with black, pastel blue,
or even green skin are not unknown. Gnomes’ coloration has little regard for heredity, with
the color of a gnome’s parents having no apparent bearing on the gnome’s appearance.
Gnomes possess highly mutable facial characteristics, and their proportions often
don’t match the norm of other humanoids. Many have overly large mouths and
eyes, an effect which can be both disturbing and stunning, depending on
the individual. Others may have extremely small features
spread over an otherwise blank expanse of face, or may
mix shockingly large eyes with a tiny, pursed mouth
and a pert button of a nose. Gnomes rarely take
pride in or show embarrassment about their
features, but outsiders often fixate on a gnome’s
most prominent feature and attempt to use it
as the focus of insults or endearments.
SOCIETY
Gnomes do not generally organize themselves within
classic societal structures. Gnome cities are unusual and
gnome kingdoms almost unknown. Further,
gnomes have no particular tendency to gather in
specific neighborhoods even when a large number of
them live among other ancestries. While specific
laws meant to contain the potential impact of gnomes on a
society may require a “gnome quarter,” and societal pressure
22
sometimes causes all non-gnomes to move away from
areas with high gnome populations, left to their own
devices, gnomes tend to spread evenly throughout
communities that allow them.
Whimsical creatures at heart, they typically travel alone
or with temporary companions, ever seeking new and
Ancestries
more exciting experiences. They rarely form enduring
relationships, instead pursuing crafts, professions, or
collections with a passion that borders on zealotry. If a
gnome does settle in an area or stay with a group for a
longer period, it is almost always the result of some
benefit that area gives to a vocation or obsession to
which the gnome had dedicated himself.
Despite their varied backgrounds and lack of a
unifying homeland, gnomes do possess some common
cultural traits. Males have a strange fondness for unusual
hats and headgear, often wearing the most expensive
and ostentatious head-covering they can afford. Females
rarely cover their heads, but proudly wear elaborate and
eccentric hairstyles that often include jeweled combs
and headpieces.
Relations: Gnomes have difficulty interacting with
others, on both emotional and physical levels. In many ways the very fact other cultures
see gnomes as odd is itself the thing gnomes find most odd. When two gnomes encounter
one another, they generally assume some mutually beneficial arrangement can be reached,
no matter how different their beliefs and traditions may be. The inability or unwillingness
of members of other cultures to make the same effort when dealing with gnomes is both
frustrating and confusing to most gnomes.
In many ways, it is gnomes’ strong connection to a wide range of apparently unconnected
ideas that makes it difficult for other races to build relationships with them. Gnome humor,
for example, is often focused on physical pranks, nonsensical rhyming nicknames, and efforts
to convince others of outrageous lies that strain all credibility. Gnomes find such efforts
hysterically funny, but their pranks often come across as malicious or senseless to other races,
while gnomes in turn tend to think of the taller races as dull and lumbering giants.
Gnomes get along reasonably well with halflings and humans, who at least have some
traditions of bizarre, gnomelike humor. Gnomes generally feel dwarves and half-orcs need
to lighten up, and attempt to bring levity into their lives with tricks, jokes, and outrageous
tales the more dour races simply cannot see the sense of. Gnomes respect elves, but often grow
frustrated with the slow pace at which members of the long-lived race make decisions. To
gnomes, action is always better than inaction, and many gnomes carry several highly involved
projects with them at all times to keep themselves entertained during rest periods.

ETERNAL HOPE: Gnomes rarely lose hope and are always confident that even hopeless
situations will work out. Gnomes with this ability add +1 to their Fear checks. This replaces
Keen Senses.
GIFT OF TONGUES: Gnomes love languages and learning about those they meet. Gnomes
with this ability know two additional languages of their choice. This replaces Obsessive.
WARDEN OF NATURE: Gnomes must often protect their homes against unnatural or
pestilential infestations. These gnomes gain +1 Parry against Aberrations, Oozes, and Vermin
because of their special training. This replaces Obsessive.
23
HALF-ELVES
SAVAGE PATHFINDER
Since the two first came into contact with each other, humans have held up elves as models
of physical perfection, seeing in these fair folk idealized versions of themselves. For their part,
many elves find humans attractive despite their comparatively barbaric ways, and are drawn
to the passion and impetuosity with which they play out their brief lives.
Sometimes this mutual infatuation leads to romantic relationships. Though usually short-
lived, even by human standards, such trysts may lead to the birth of half-elves, an ancestry
descended from two cultures yet inheritor of neither. Half-elves can breed with one another,
but even these tend to be viewed as bastards by humans and elves alike. Caught between
destiny and derision, half-elves often view themselves as the middle children of the world.
Half-elves stand taller than humans but shorter than elves. They inherit the lean build and
comely features of their elven lineage, but their skin color is normally dictated by their human
side. While half-elves retain the pointed ears of elves, theirs are more rounded and less
pronounced. Their eyes tend to be humanlike in shape, but feature an exotic range of colors
from amber or violet to emerald green and deep blue.
This pattern changes for half-elves of drow descent. Such elves are almost unfailingly marked
with the white or silver hair of the drow parent, and more often than not have dusky gray skin
that takes on a purplish or bluish tinge in the right light, while their eye color usually favors
that of the human parent.
SOCIETY
Their lack of a unified homeland and culture forces half-elves to remain
versatile, able to conform to nearly any environment. While often considered
attractive to elves and humans, half-elves rarely fit in with either. This lack
of acceptance weighs heavily on many half-elves, yet others are bolstered
by their unique status, seeing in their lack of a formalized culture the
ultimate freedom.
Even half-elves welcomed by one side of their heritage often
find themselves caught between cultures, as they are encouraged,
cajoled into taking on diplomatic responsibilities between humans
and elves.
Relations: Half-elves understand loneliness, and know that
character is often less a product of their bloodline than of life
experience. As such, they are less likely than most to rely on
first impressions when forming opinions of new acquaintances.
Those humans who admire elvenkind see half-elves as a living
link or bridge between the two. But this attitude often foists unfair
expectations upon half-elves, and quickly turns to derision when
they do not live up to the destinies others set for them. Additionally,
half-elves raised by or in the company of elves often have the
human half of their parentage dubbed as something to overcome.
Among other cultures, half-elves form unique and often
unexpected bonds. Dwarves, despite their traditional mistrust
of elves, see a half-elf’s human parentage as something
hopeful, and treat them as half-humans rather than half-elves.
Additionally, the lifespan of dwarves is closer to a half-elf’s
own than that of either of her parents. As a result, half-elves
and dwarves often form lasting bonds.
24
Gnomes and halflings often see half-elves
as a curiosity. Those half-elves who have
seen themselves pushed to the edges of
society, truly without a home, typically
find gnomes and halflings frivolous
and worthy of disdain, but secretly
Ancestries
envy their seemingly carefree ways.
Clever and enterprising gnomes and halflings
sometimes partner with a half-elf for adventures
or even business ventures, using the half-elf’s
participation to lend their own endeavors an air of
legitimacy that they cannot acquire on their own.
Perhaps the most peculiar and dichotomous relations
exist between half-elves and half-orcs. Those half-
orcs and half-elves who were raised among their
non-human kin normally see one another as
hated and ancient foes. Half-elves who have been
marginalized by society feel a deep, almost instant
kinship with half-orcs, knowing their burdens
are often that much harder because of their
appearance and somewhat brutish nature.
Not all half-orcs are inclined or able to
understand such empathy, but those who
do often find themselves with a dedicated
diplomat, liaison, and apologist. For their
own part, half-orcs usually return the favor by acting
as bodyguards and take on other roles suited to their
brawny forms.
Religion: Half-elves’ lack of a unified culture makes them
less likely to turn to religion, but those who do generally follow the common faiths of
their homeland.
Some half-elves feel the pull of the divine but live beyond the formal religious instruction of
society. Such individuals often worship ideas and concepts like freedom, harmony, balance,
or the primal forces of the world. Still others gravitate toward long-forgotten gods, finding
comfort and kinship in the idea that even deities can be overlooked.
ADVENTURERS
Half-elves tend to be itinerants, wandering in search of a place to call home. The desire to
prove themselves to the community and establish a personal identity — or even a legacy —
drives many half-elf adventurers to lives of bravery. Despite their longevity, some half-elves
claim they perceive the passage of time more like humans than elves, and are driven to amass
wealth, power, or fame early on in life so they may spend the rest of their years enjoying it.

DROW MAGIC: A few half-elves with drow ancestry exhibit the innate magic of their ancestors.
They have 1 Power Point and can cast darkness, using their Smarts (or arcane skill if they have
one) to activate this power. This replaces Elven Magic.
WARY: Many half-elves have spent their long lives moving from place to place, often driven
out by the hostility of others. Such experiences have made them wary of others’ motivations.
These half elves get a free reroll when deceiving others or attempting to detect when they are
being deceived. They gain the Suspicious (Minor) Hindrance, but not any Hindrance points.
25
HALF-ORCS
SAVAGE PATHFINDER
Half-orcs are seen as monstrosities, the result of perversion and violence—whether or not this
is actually true. Half-orcs are rarely the result of loving unions, and as such are usually forced
to grow up hard and fast, constantly fighting for protection or to make names for themselves.
A few feared, distrusted, and spat-upon half-orcs manage to surprise their detractors with
great deeds and unexpected wisdom—though sometimes it’s easier just to crack a few skulls.
Some half-orcs spend their entire lives proving to full-blooded orcs that they are just as fierce.
Others try to blend into human society, constantly demonstrating they aren’t monsters.
Their need to always prove themselves worthy encourages half-orcs to strive for power and
greatness within the society around them.
Half-orcs average around six feet tall, with powerful builds and greenish or grayish skin.
Their canine teeth often grow long enough to protrude from their mouths, and these “tusks,”
combined with heavy brows and slightly pointed ears, give them their notoriously bestial
appearance. While half-orcs may be impressive, few ever describe them as beautiful. Despite
these obvious orc traits, half-orcs are as varied as their human parents.
SOCIETY
Unlike half-elves, half-orcs get the worst of both worlds: physically weaker than orcs, they also
tend to be feared by humans who don’t bother making the distinction between full orcs and
halfbloods. Even on the best of terms, half-orcs in civilized societies are not exactly accepted,
and tend to be valued only for their physical abilities. On the other hand, orc leaders have
been known to deliberately spawn half-orcs, as the halfbreeds make
up for their lack of physical strength with cunning and aggression.
Within orc tribes, half-orcs find themselves striving to prove
their worth with feats of strength. These half-orcs are
likely to file their tusks and cover
themselves in tribal tattoos. Tribal
leaders quietly recognize that half-
orcs are more clever than
most orcs and often
apprentice them to
the tribe’s shaman.
Apprenticeship to a
shaman is a brutal
and often short-
lived distinction
and those who
survive it
either become
influential in
the tribe or are
driven to leave.
Half-orcs have a
mixed experience in
human society, where many view them as little more
than monsters. They often are unable to get normal
work, and are pressed into service in the military or
sold into slavery. In these cultures, half-orcs often lead
furtive lives, hiding their nature whenever possible.
26
Less commonly, human cities may allow half-orcs a more normal existence, even enabling
them to develop small communities of their own. These communities are usually centered
around the arena districts, the military, or mercenary organizations where their brute strength
is valued and their appearance is more likely to be overlooked. Even surrounded by their
own kind, half-orc life isn’t easy. Bullying and physical confrontation comes easy to a people
who have been raised with few other examples of behavior. Even more rarely, certain human
Ancestries
cultures come to embrace half-orcs for their strength. There are stories of places where people
see half-orc children as a blessing and seek out half-orc or orc lovers.
Relations: Elves and dwarves tend to be the least accepting of half-orcs, seeing in them too
great a resemblance to their racial enemies, and other races aren’t much more understanding.
A lifetime of persecution leaves the average half-orc wary and quick to anger, yet people who
break through his savage exterior might find a well-hidden core of empathy. Human societies
with few orc problems tend to be the most accommodating, and half-orcs dwelling there can
often find work as mercenaries and enforcers.
Half-orcs are envious of the measure of acceptance half-elves have within human and elven
society and resent their physical beauty, which contrasts starkly to the half-orcs’ brutish
appearance. While half-orcs avoid antagonizing their half-breed cousins directly, they won’t
hesitate to undermine them if the opportunity presents itself.
Half-orcs are most sympathetic with halflings, who often have an equally rough lot in life.
Half-orcs respect their ability to blend in and disappear and admire their perpetually cheerful
outlook on life in spite of hardships. Halflings fail to appreciate this fact because they usually
are too busy avoiding the large, intimidating half-orcs.
Religion: Half-orcs worship the human or orc gods venerated in the area where they were
raised. Those who live alongside humans most often worship human gods of war, freedom, or
destruction. Half-orcs raised in orc tribes find themselves most drawn to the gods of blood, fire,
and iron—depending more on what god the tribe worships rather than the half-orcs’ personal
preference. Many half-orcs are contrary about religion, either ignoring it entirely, or getting
deeply involved in it and trying to find meaning in a life filled with hate and misunderstanding.
ADVENTURERS
Staunchly independent, many half-orcs take to lives of adventure out of necessity, seeking
to escape their painful pasts or improve their lot in life. Half-orcs raised in orc societies often
take up the brutish ways of those around them. Those who survive their shaman training may
eventually succeed their masters as tribal shamans, or flee and practice their magic as outcasts.
Half-orcs are fascinated by alchemy, and its destructive capabilities make its usefulness
obvious in any orc tribe. Half-orc alchemists treat themselves as living experiments, even to
the point of trying to separate their orc and human halves through alchemy.

SACRED TATTOO: Many half-orcs decorate themselves with tattoos, piercings, and ritual
scarification, which they consider sacred. Half-orcs with this ability gain an additional
Novice power the first time they take an Arcane Background. This replaces Orc Ferocity.
SCAVENGER: Some half-orcs eke out a living picking over the garbage heaps of society, and
must learn to separate rare finds from the inevitable dross. These half-orcs have +1 on Notice
rolls to find hidden objects (including traps and secret doors), determine whether food is
spoiled, or identify a potion by taste (see detect magic in Pathfinder for Savage Worlds). This
replaces Intimidating.
SKILLED: Second- and third-generation half-orcs often favor their human heritage more
than their orc heritage. Half-orcs with this ability start with 14 skill points instead of 12.
This replaces Darkvision.
27
HALFLINGS
SAVAGE PATHFINDER
Optimistic and cheerful by nature, blessed with uncanny luck, and driven by a powerful
wanderlust, halflings make up for their short stature with an abundance of bravado and
curiosity. At once excitable and easy-going, halflings like to keep an even temper and a steady
eye on opportunity, and are not as prone to violent or emotional outbursts as other ancestries.
Even in the jaws of catastrophe, halflings almost never lose their sense of humor. Their ability
to find humor in the absurd, no matter how dire the situation, often allows halflings to distance
themselves ever so slightly from the dangers that surround them.
Halflings are inveterate opportunists. They firmly believe they can turn any situation to
their advantage, and sometimes gleefully leap into trouble without any solid plan to extricate
themselves. Often unable to physically defend themselves from the rigors of the world, they
know when to bend with the wind and when to hide away. Yet halflings’ curiosity often
overwhelms their good sense, leading to poor decisions and narrow escapes.
Though their curiosity drives them to seek out new places and experiences, halflings possess
a strong sense of hearth and home, often spending above their means to enhance the comforts
of domestic life. Halflings enjoy luxury and comfort, but they have equally strong reasons to
make their homes a showcase. Halflings consider this urge to devote time, money, and energy
toward improving their dwellings a sign of both respect for strangers and affection for their
loved ones. Halflings make their homes beautiful in order to express their feelings toward
those they welcome inside. Even traveling halflings typically decorate their wagons or carry
a few cherished keepsakes to adorn their campsites.
Halflings rise to a humble height of three feet. They prefer to walk barefoot, leading the
bottoms of their feet to become roughly calloused. Tufts of thick, curly hair warm the tops of
their broad, tanned feet. Their skin tends toward a rich cinnamon color and their hair toward
light shades of brown. A halfling’s ears are pointed, but proportionately not much larger than
those of a human.
Halflings prefer simple and modest clothing. Though willing and
able to dress up if the situation demands it, their urge to remain
quietly in the background makes them rather conservative dressers
in most situations. Halfling entertainers, on the other hand, make
their livings by drawing attention, and tend to go overboard with
gaudy and flashy costumes.
SOCIETY
Rather than place their faith in empires, many halflings
prefer to focus on the simpler virtues of their families and
local communities. Halflings claim no cultural homeland
and control no settlements larger than rural assemblies of
free towns. Most often, they dwell at the knees of their human
cousins in human cities, eking out livings as they can from the
scraps of larger societies. Many halflings lead perfectly fulfilling
lives in the shadow of their larger neighbors, while some prefer
more nomadic lives, traveling the world and experiencing all it
has to offer.
Halflings rely on customs and traditions to maintain their
own culture. They have an extensive oral history filled with
important stories about folk heroes who exemplify particular
halfling virtues, but otherwise see little purpose in studying
history in and of itself. Given a choice between a pointless
28
truth and a useful fable, halflings almost
always opt for the fable. This tendency helps
to explain at least something of the famous
halfling adaptability. Halflings look to the
future and find it very easy to cast off the
weight of ancient grudges or obligations that
Ancestries
drag down so many other races.
Relations: A typical halfling prides himself
on his ability to go unnoticed by others — a
trait that allows many halflings to excel at
thievery and trickery. Most halflings know full
well the stereotypical view others take of them as
a result, and go out of their way to be forthcoming
and friendly to the bigger ancestries when they’re
not trying to go unnoticed.
They get along fairly well with gnomes, although
most halflings regard these eccentric creatures
with a hefty dose of caution. Halflings respect elves
and dwarves, but they often live in remote regions far from
the comforts of civilization that halflings enjoy. By and
large, only half-orcs are shunned by halflings,
for their great size and violent natures are
a bit too intimidating for most halflings to
cope with.
Halflings coexist well with humans as a general rule, but since some of the more aggressive
human societies value halflings as slaves, they try not to grow too complacent.
Religion: Always practical, halflings frequently worship the deity most favored by their
larger and more powerful neighbors. They also usually cover their bets, however, by giving
Desna her due. The goddess of both luck and travel seems a natural fit for most halflings and
offering her a quick prayer every now and then is only common sense.
ADVENTURERS
Their inherent luck coupled with their insatiable wanderlust makes halflings ideal candidates
for lives of adventure. Though perfectly willing to pocket any valuables they come across,
halflings often care more for the new experiences adventuring brings them than for any
material reward.
Others often put up with this curious ancestry in hopes that some of their mystical luck will
rub off. Halflings see nothing wrong with encouraging this belief, not just in their traveling
companions, but also in the larger world. Many try to use their reputation for luck to haggle
for reduced fare when traveling by ship or caravan, or even for an overnight stay at an inn,
though this it met with mixed success.

ADAPTABLE LUCK: Some halflings have control over their innate luck. Once per session, this
character can spend a Benny to reroll a Critical Failure. This replaces Lucky.
FLEET OF FOOT: Some halflings are quicker than their kin but less cautious. These halflings
draw one additional card when using the Quick Chase deck. Additionally, they do not
reduce their Pace due to Wound penalties. This replaces Keen Senses.
LOW BLOW: Some halflings train extensively in the art of attacking larger creatures. Halflings
with this ability gain +2 AP when attacking creatures at least 3 Sizes larger than themselves.
This replaces Sure-Footed.
29
HUMANS
SAVAGE PATHFINDER
Humans possess exceptional drive and a great capacity to endure and expand, and as
such are currently the dominant people in the world. Their empires and nations are vast,
sprawling things, and the citizens of these societies carve names for themselves with the
strength of their sword arms and the power of their spells. Humanity is best characterized
by its tumultuousness and diversity, and human cultures run the gamut from savage but
honorable tribes to decadent, devil-worshiping noble families in the most cosmopolitan cities.
Human society is a strange amalgam of nostalgia and futurism, being enamored of past
glories and wistfully remembered “golden ages,” yet at the same time quick to discard
tradition and history and strike off into new ventures. Relics of the past are kept as prized
antiques and museum pieces, as humans love to collect things —not only inanimate relics but
also living creatures—to display for their amusement or to serve by their side.
Humans in many places are fascinated by older cultures, though at times they grow frustrated
or even contemptuous of ancient and (to their mind) outmoded traditions. Their attitudes
toward other ancestries are thus a curious mix of exoticism and even fetishism, though usually
with a very superficial level of understanding and appreciation of those cultures, alongside
a deeply rooted arrogance that means most humans have a hard time regarding themselves
as anything other than the default standard of society. Humans are gregarious, often friendly,
and willing to mix and interact with others, but their sheer obliviousness to their offhanded
marginalization of others is what so chagrins others when dealing with them.
Of course, well-meaning, blundering ignorance and numerical superiority are not the only
things that make other ancestries suspicious of humans. Entirely too many examples
can be found throughout history wherein human xenophobia and intolerance has led
to social isolationism, civil oppression, bloody purges, inquisitions, mob
violence, and open war. Humans are not the only ones to hate what
is different among them, but they seem to have a susceptibility to
fear-mongering and suspicion, whether about
ancestry, language, religion, class, gender, or
another difference. More moderate human
citizens often sit idly by while their more
extreme compatriots dominate the political
and cultural conversation, yet there are also
many who stand in opposition to extremists
and embody a spirit of unity across the bounds
of difference, transcending barriers and forming
alliances and relationships both large and small across
every color, creed, country, or species.
Their physical characteristics are as varied as the world’s
climes. From the dark-skinned tribesmen of the southern
continents to the pale and barbaric raiders of the northern
lands, humans possess a wide variety of skin colors, body
types, and facial features. Generally speaking, humans’
skin color assumes a darker hue the closer to the equator
they live. At the same time, bone structure, hair color
and texture, eye color, and a host of facial and bodily
phenotypic characteristics vary immensely from one
locale to another.
Cheekbones may be high or broad, noses aquiline or flat,
and lips full or thin; eyes range wildly in hue, some deep
30
set in their sockets, and others with full epicanthic folds. Appearance
is hardly random, of course, and familial, tribal, or national
commonalities allow the knowledgeable to
identify a human’s place of origin on sight, or at
least to hazard a guess. Humans’ origins are
also indicated through their styles of
Ancestries
bodily decoration, not only in the
clothing or jewelry worn, but also
in hairstyles, piercing, tattooing, and
even scarification.
SOCIETY
Human society comprises a multitude
of governments, attitudes, and lifestyles.
Though the oldest human cultures trace their
histories thousands of years into the past, when
compared to societies like those of elves
and dwarves, human society seems to
be in a state of constant flux as empires
fragment and new kingdoms subsume
the old. In general, humans are known for
their flexibility, ingenuity, and ambition.
Other races sometimes envy humans
their seemingly limitless adaptability, not
so much biologically speaking but in their
willingness to step beyond the known and press on
to whatever might await them. While many or even most
humans as individuals are content to stay within their comfortable
routine, there is a dauntless spirit of discovery endemic to humans as a
species that drives them in striving toward possibilities beyond every horizon.
Relations: Humans are fecund, and their drive and numbers often spur them into contact
with other ancestries during bouts of territorial expansion and colonization. In many cases, this
tendency leads to violence and war, yet humans are also swift to forgive and forge alliances
with those who do not try to match or exceed them in violence. Proud, sometimes to the
point of arrogance, humans might look upon dwarves as miserly drunkards, elves as flighty
fops, halflings as craven thieves, gnomes as twisted maniacs, and half-elves and half-orcs as
embarrassments—but the diversity among its own members also makes many humans quite
adept at accepting others for what they are.
Humans may become so absorbed in their own affairs that they remain ignorant of the
language and culture of others, and some take this ignorance to a hateful extreme of intolerance,
oppression, and rarely even extermination of others they perceive as dangerous, strange, or
“impure.” Thankfully, while such incidents and movements may taint all of humanity in the
eyes of some, they are more often the exception than the rule.
Religion: Humans have the widest range of gods and religions, lacking other ancestries’ ties
to tradition and eager to turn to anyone offering them glory or protection.
ADVENTURERS
Ambition alone drives countless humans, and for many, adventuring serves as a means to
an end, whether it be wealth, acclaim, social status, or arcane knowledge. A few pursue
adventuring careers simply for the thrill of danger. Humans hail from myriad regions and
backgrounds, and as such can fill any role within an adventuring party.

CREATURE ABILITIES
RULES
Aquatic: The creature is native to the water. It's a natural swimmer and cannot drown. Its Pace in water
is specified after the Aquatic ability.
Armor: A creature’s Armor is written in parentheses next to its total Toughness, and already added in.
Thick, leathery hide generally offers 2 points of Armor. Supernatural creatures may have much higher
Armor values. An iron golem, for example, might have 6 points of Armor or more.
Armor Piercing (AP) attacks allow an attacker to ignore a number of points of Armor equal to the
weapon's AP value.
Edges & Hindrances

Bash: Larger creatures often use their bodies or body parts to pummel their opponents during combat.
See the creature’s statistics for any special effects.
Bite: The creature may bite a target it has grappled (instead of only crushing its prey, see Grappling
in Savage Pathfinder).
Blindsense: A creature with this ability can perceive its environment using non-visual senses. This
includes keen sense of smell, echolocation, or the ability to sense vibrations in the ground or even in
the air. They ignore invisibility, illusion, and all Illumination penalties.
Breath Weapons: Most dragons and other “fire breathers” use a Cone Template for their attacks (see
Area Effect attacks in Pathfinder for Savage Worlds). A few specific creatures, such as blue and black
dragons, use the Stream Template instead.
Unless otherwise noted, breath attacks may be evaded (see Evasion in Pathfinder for Savage Worlds)
and take the creature’s entire turn — they can’t perform Multi-Actions in the same round they make
a breath attack.
Burrow: From massive worms to sand-dwelling humanoids, many creatures are able to burrow
beneath the earth and move within it.
Burrowers can tunnel underground and reappear elsewhere for devastating surprise attacks against
their foes. The distance a creature can burrow on its turn is written immediately after its Burrow ability.
A burrowing creature may tunnel on its action, and may erupt from the ground at any point within
its burrowing Pace in the same turn. It can't be attacked beneath the earth unless the attacker has some
means of detecting it and penetrating the intervening dirt.
Burrowing creatures erupt from beneath their foes and may take them by surprise. If the target was
unaware of the burrower’s presence, the creature makes an opposed Stealth roll versus the victim’s
Notice (see Attacking from Stealth in Pathfinder for Savage Worlds). Targets on Hold may attempt to
interrupt an attack before it occurs if they detect it.
Burrowers can’t usually surprise a foe once their presence is known, but can still burrow for protection
and mobility.
Claws: +2 to Athletics (climbing) rolls on any rough or soft surface (not sheer steel, glass, etc.).
Environmental Resistance: The creature is resistant (but not immune) to a particular type of energy
or substance, such as cold, heat, iron, etc.
Damage from the source is reduced by 4, and the being adds +4 to resist matching Hazards or powers
with a similar Trapping.
Fear: Particularly frightening monsters cause Fear checks to all who see them. Some truly terrifying
monsters may inflict penalties on Fear checks as well. A creature with Fear −2, for instance, causes those
who see it to make their Fear checks at −2. See the Fear rules in Pathfinder for Savage Worlds for effects.
Flight: A creature can fly at the listed Pace. It uses its Athletics to maneuver if a roll is required.
If a creature’s Pace is at least 24, attackers subtract 1 when making attacks against it. If it’s Pace is 48
or higher, attackers subtract 2.
Horns: Add +4 damage at the end of one Fighting action in which it runs, moves at least 5″(10 yards),
and successfully hits with its horns.
Immunity: Creatures born in fire aren’t affected by heat, and a horror made of pure lightning ignores
a bolt attack with an electrical Trapping. They ignore damage and effects based on any attack with that
Trapping.
Immunities include related types of attacks as well. A monster that ignores cold-based effects and
attacks also ignores powers with frost or ice Trappings, for example.
57
RULES
SAVAGE PATHFINDER
Innate Powers: Various creatures on Golarion have Innate Powers. These are usually magical abilities
with "spell-like" effects or powers.
Activating an Innate Power is an action and follows all the power's usual rules such as Range, line of
sight, etc.
Automatic Powers: These powers don't require a roll to activate. Minor powers activate with success
and major powers activate with a raise. This is true even if the power normally requires an attack roll.
Minor bolt, for example, automatically hits its target if any part of it is visible and in Range, ignoring
Cover, the Dodge Edge, etc.
Opposed Powers: These powers must still be resisted by the target. A minor power sets the Target
Number to resist at 4 (because it's a success), a major power sets the Target Number to resist at 8
(because it's a raise).
Major puppet means the victim must make a Spirit check against a target number of 8 (for a major
power) or be enthralled.
Rolled Powers: If an ability does require a Trait roll, the skill or attribute is listed in parentheses after
the power, like so: invisibility (flamer; True; Spirit).
As with other powers, a Critical Failure causes Fatigue.
Duration: Creatures do not need to spend Power Points to maintain Innate Powers.
Power Modifiers: Innate Powers can't use Power Modifiers unless listed with the ability.
Natural Weapons: Creatures with natural weapons such as fangs, claws, or horns may attack with any
or all of them using their Fighting skill. Damage is stated for character ancestries and beasts in their
various descriptions.
Creatures with natural weapons are always considered armed. This means they aren’t Unarmed
Defenders and foes fighting with Two Weapons gain no advantage against them.
Poison: Snakes, spiders, and other creatures inject poisonous venom via bite or scratch. To do so, the
creature must cause at least a Shaken result to the victim, who then makes a Vigor roll modified by the
strength of the poison (listed in parentheses after the creature’s Poison ability). Effects of failure are
described in more detail under Hazards in Pathfinder for Savage Worlds.
Pounce: Predators often pounce on their prey to best bring their mass and claws to bear. If a creature
with pounce makes a Wild Attack, it adds +4 to its damage instead of +2 to one successful Fighting
attack.
58
RULES
Regeneration: Hydras, trolls, vampires, and other legendary creatures can Regenerate their injuries.
Regeneration can be Fast or Slow.
Fast: Wounded creatures make a Vigor roll each round—even while Incapacitated. Success heals one
Wound (or removes Incapacitated status), and a raise heals an additional Wound. Wounds caused by
some damage types, listed in the creature’s description, don't regenerate but may still heal naturally.
Trolls can't regenerate Wounds caused by flame, for example.
Slow: The creature makes a natural healing roll once per day.
Rending: Victims Shaken or Wounded by a rending attack are bleeding and must make a Vigor roll as
a free action at the beginning of their next turn. Failure causes one Wound and the victim must make
another Vigor roll next turn. Success means the victim doesn't suffer a Wound, but must make a Vigor
Edges & Hindrances

roll again next turn. A raise stops the bleeding and no further rolls are required from that attack.
A successful Healing roll also stops the bleeding.
Size: Size grants a bonus to Toughness (or penalty for small creatures) and is a guide to the typical
Strength of creatures in that general range.
Size is generally based on mass, but exceptions exist for extremely large but weak creatures, small but
strong beings, etc. If no Size is listed, the creature is Size 0.
If the creature is of a Scale other than normal, it is listed in parentheses after the Size entry.
Additional Wounds: Large creatures can take an additional Wound, Huge can take two, and
Gargantuan three. The maximum Wound penalty is always three. This stacks with Resilient/Very
Resilient (see above).
Such creatures typically have Reach equal to the additional Wounds granted by Size.
Swallow Whole: With a successful bite attack, the victim must make an Evasion roll or be Swallowed
Whole. At the end of the creature's subsequent turns, anyone swallowed must make a Vigor roll at –2
or take a Wound from the crushing gullet and acidic bile. This continues until they're freed or perish.
If the creature is Shaken or Wounded from the inside (ignoring its Armor!), everyone inside gets an
immediate Athletics roll to escape. If the monster is Shaken or Wounded from the outside, the escape
roll is made at −2.
Appropriate Tests (GM's call, such as pepper in the nose, extreme nausea from a spell effect or poison,
etc.) might cause the beast to cough, sneeze, or vomit. This gives everyone inside an Athletics roll to
escape.
Swat: The monster has learned to hunt or deal with smaller opponents. It ignores up to 4 points of
Scale penalties when attacking creatures smaller than itself.
Tentacles: The creature has a number of “tentacle actions” specified in its description (usually 2 or 4) it
may use once per turn. All of a creature's tentacle actions count as one of its three potential actions for
the turn, and must stem from the tentacle in some way —usually a Fighting, Shooting, or grappling
attack (GM’s call). A giant octopus with four tentacle actions, for example, could make four attacks as
one action and still have two actions left over.
If the creature is a Wild Card, it rolls its Wild Die with each tentacle action as usual.
If the being performs other actions on its turn, such as Taunting or casting a spell, these and the tentacle
actions are affected by the Multi-Action penalty as usual.
Grappling rolls made with tentacles get a +2 bonus, and its crushing attack causes the creature’s
Strength in damage unless otherwise listed.
Severing a tentacle is a Called Shot. If damage exceeds the creature’s Toughness, the limb is severed
and the monster is Shaken. If it was already Shaken, it takes a Wound.
Trample: Elephants, rhinoceroses, and other large creatures can trample smaller victims underfoot
while moving at least 5″ (10 yards) in a straight line. This applies only when the foes are at least two
Sizes smaller. See the creature's description for other conditions.
Anyone in the creature's path must Evade or take the listed damage. Those trampled may attack it
after it passes, if possible (see Withdrawing from Melee in Pathfinder for Savage Worlds), unless it has
Extraction or a similar ability.

Flash Powder 3/6/12 — — 1 SBT — 50 —
Notes: This coarse gray powder ignites and burns almost instantly if exposed to flame, significant
friction, or even a simple force such as throwing it against a floor. Creatures within a Small Blast
Template are blinded (per the blind spell) until the end of their next turn.
Liquid Ice 3/6/12 2d4 — 1 SBT 2 40 —
Notes: Also known as “alchemist’s ice,” this sealed jar of crystalline blue fluid immediately starts to
evaporate once opened. During the next 1d6 rounds, an adventure can use it to freeze a liquid or coat
an object in a thin layer of ice. It can also be thrown as a weapon.
Gear
Nushadir — — — — — 1 10 —
Notes: Stored in the form of small, salty pellets in a dry container, this reagent can be mixed with a
flask of water and stored safely. Nushadir neutralizes acid; a vial of pellets or a flask of nushadir-
water is enough to render a cubic foot of acid safe to touch in one minute, though this is usually too
slow to prevent damage from a thrown vial of acid or the contents of a large monster’s gullet.
Smelling Salts — — — — — 1 25 −2
Notes: These sharply scented gray crystals cause people to regain consciousness when inhaled.
Smelling salts grant a sleeping person a Spirit roll to wake up from both magical and mundane
sleep. A container has 12 uses if stoppered after each use, but depletes in a matter of hours if left open.
Smoke Pellet 3/6/9 — — 1 — — 25 —
Notes: This small clay sphere contains two alchemical substances separated by a thin barrier. When
the sphere is broken, the substances mingle and fill a Small Blast Template with a cloud of foul but
harmless yellow smoke. The smoke pellet acts as a smokestick, except the smoke only lasts for one
round before dispersing.
Weapon Blanch,
— — — — — 1/2 100 −2
Adamantine
Notes: When this powder is poured on a weapon and placed over a hot flame it melts and forms a
temporary coating. On the next successful hit with the blanched weapon, it triggers Environmental
Weaknesses (Adamantine). Each dose coats one weapon or up to 10 pieces of ammunition. Only one
type of weapon blanch can be on a weapon at one time.

an item might wish to have a lesser character
possess it in order to easily establish and
maintain dominance over him, or a higher-
level possessor so as to better accomplish
its goals.
All magic items with personalities desire to
play an important role in whatever activity is
under way, particularly combat. Such items
are natural rivals, even with others of the
same alignment. No intelligent item wants to
share its wielder with others. An intelligent
item is aware of the presence of any other
intelligent item within 10" (20 yards), and
most intelligent items try their best to mislead
or distract their host so that she ignores or
destroys the rival. Of course, alignment might
change this sort of behavior.
