Rishii

Rishii had an owl-like appearance, with a pair of large wings. At the ends of these wings, they had talon-like hands with opposable thumbs. They were excellent hunters, and would swoop down at very great speeds from cliffs to catch rodents in their lower talons. They possessed a long, thin tail with a tuft of feathers at the tip.

Rishii also had a talent for mimicking language. They would often copy the voices and movements of other beings, much to the annoyance of the person being copied. The Rishii, however, enjoyed using their talents

The Rishi were known for their friendly attitude towards outsiders, despite living in the extragalactic Rishi Maze. They lived in the high mountains of their world, while Human and alien colonists lived in the deep valleys. Family groups lived together in open-air nests built on cliffs and perches, and members of the tribe lived and worked together peacefully. They respected members of other tribes who came to visit them, and also the offworlders that colonized the humid lowlands

During Rishi’s frosty season, the Rishii relyed on energy from exonium stones to help them prepare food. Rishii had little interest in technology, and the items they traded with outsiders they usually used to decorate their nests. However, they were intrigued by what they called “shiny rocks” (spacecraft) which allowed beings without wings to fly. Even when entering combat against advanced foes like the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the Rishii fought using spears and axes, rather than adopting more powerful weaponry.

Wizards of the Coast have stated that species capable of breeding with humans are considered to be human in game terms, but I’ve decided to create a list of near-human species guidelines, to help keep the feel of them more real and unique. Each entry contains tips for ability, feat, skill, and talent selection that is fitting to the species. Some, with the GM’s approval, have more unique traits as well. Other species that fall into this category that Wizards of the Coast have already given stats for are Arkanians, Chiss, Falleen, Nagai, Pau’ans, Wroonians, Vahla, and Zeltrons. Other near-human species found on this site are Bpfasshi, Echani, Firrerreo, and Kiffar.

Many other near-human species that aren’t unique enough to make this list can be found on this Wookieepedia site.

It is important to note that these are only guidelines for building Near Human characters. There are always those who deviate from the norm, and these statistics should not be required. They are completely optional, and should not be treated as rigidly as other species statistics.

The Children of the Green Planet were puddle-footed sentients indigenous to the planet most commonly known as Brodo Asogi. Their planet was also known by many other names, including Vomestra, Od-Di-Pa 5, Tum Lux O-Ty, and Alata Zerka – all of which meant “Green Planet” in one language or another. The Children of the Green Planet were one of the many species in the galaxy to refrain from wearing clothes. During the last days of the Republic they funded an extragalactic expedition project, but whether or not this expedition was ever successful or even went past the planning stage is unknown.

Lurmen were a race of short, bipedal primates with long tails and black-and-white markings. The Lurmen were native to the natural crystalline towers that dominated the surface of Mygeeto. Despite their prosperity, the lurmen were enslaved by the InterGalactic Banking Clan when it took over Mygeeto. Many lurmen left Mygeeto and settled on unexplored territories.

During the Clone Wars, a group of Lurmen escaped the ravages of war in known space and colonized Maridun, a then-uncharted world. After being attacked by the violent Amanin, they were forced to abandon their ship, their only way off the planet. The planet soon became occupied by Confederacy General Lok Durd, who used the Lurmen’s known pacifism as a means to test an experimental weapon. The Republic was able to fend off the Seperatists from eradicating the Lurmens but not before some of the droids destroyed some of the Lurmen’s homes.

Ability Modifiers: +2 Dex, +2 Wis, -2 Str.
Small-size: As Small creatures, Lurmen gain +1 size bonus to Reflex Defense and +5 bonus to Stealth checks. However their carrying limits are three-quarters those of medium characters.
Speed: Lurman base speed is 4 squares.
Roll: For speedy movement, Lurmen could curl into a wheel-shape and roll along the ground. A Lurmen may double his speed for the purposes of Running.
Primitive: A Lurmen does not gain Weapon Proficiency (pistols, rifles, or heavy weapons) as starting feats at first level, even if their class normally grants them.

Ability Modifiers: DEX +2, CHA +2, CON -2.

Small-size: As Small creatures, Tynnans gain +1 size bonus to REF and +5 bonus to Stealth checks. However their carrying limits are three-quarters those of medium characters.

Speed: Tynnans base speed is 4 Squares (on two feet) / 6 Squares (on four feet)
Tynnans can drop to all fours to increase their speed, however they prefer not to do so unless it is absolutely necessary as they view it as some what degrading. While prone, they are unable to carry items or weapons (except for their claws). Dropping to or returning from four legs can be taken as a swift action; however the putting away of any weapon is not, items held must dropped or put away prior to being able to drop to all fours.

Scent: Tynnans have a keen sence of smell. At close range (within 10 squares), Tynnans ignore concealment and cover for purposes of Perception checks, and they take no penalty from poor visibility when tracking (see Survival skill, page 73)

Hold Breath: Tynnans are at home in air or water. A Tynnans can hold his breath for a number of rounds equal to 25 times his Constitution score before he needs to make Endurance checks to hold his breath (see the Endurance skill page 66)

Expert swimmers: A Tynnan may choose to reroll any Swim check, but the result of the reroll must be accepted even if it is worse. In addition a Tynnan may choose to take 10 on Swim checks even when distracted or threatened.

Natural Insulation: Tynnans receive a +5 species bonus to Fortitude Defense to resist the effects of extreme cold.

Special Equipment: Tynnans suffer from poor eye sight and therefor must wear Ocular Enhancers (1500 credits to replace) to see normally, without they suffer a -3 penalty for Perception checks that rely on vision.

Natural Weapons: A Tynnan can rake with one of its claws instead of making an unarmed attack. The claw attack deals 1d4 points of slashing damage (plus Strength modifier) and does not provoke attacks of opportunity. Due to the presence of its natural weapons, a Tynnan is always considered to be armed for the purposes of threatening adjacent squares and making attacks of opportunity. Natural weapons are considered simple weapons. While swimming, a Tynnan can use all four claws to attack, however this prevents complex maneuvers from being made and so they suffer from a -2 penalty to any Reflex checks made until the next round.

Automatic Languages: Tynnan, Basic.

Fandom Comics is proud to present on Saga-Edition.com, the Anzati, a preview of our newly converted and posted Clone Wars Saga Edition Fan Sourcebook chapter – Species!

The ultimate hunters in the galaxy, the Anzati spend their lives traversing the planets of the galaxy, searching for the finest “soup,” or essence.  Anzati feed off the life forces of other sentients, and as such are the focus of folklore and legends of countless species throughout the known galaxy.  The ravenous predators are the stuff of nightmares, able to blend in amongst most human-accepting crowds effortlessly, free to sample the auras of thousands of potential victims before choosing their prey.
Anzati are typically reserved and elitist, but it is possible for Anzati to revert to a feral state if starved long enough.  If an Anzat remains hungry long enough, their bodies begin to feed on their own life essence, essentially devolving them.  Less than a decade before the onset of the Clone Wars, a den of feral Anzati emerged on Kiffex, slaughtering countless innocents.  Luckily, Jedi were able to exterminate the dangerous beasts.
During the era leading up to the Clone Wars, a handful of Anzati were members or allies of the Jedi Order.  Unfortunately, Anzat Jedi initiates all eventually fell to the Dark Side.  To make matters worse Anzati assassins entered into contracts with the Confederacy during the Clone Wars, eager to hunt Jedi, who they claim have the finest “soup”.  Anzati assassins are masters of stealth and wicked, disabling strikes, designed to leave their opponents vulnerable to feast upon.
Personality: Anzati are cold and calculating hunters, who regard all other sentient species as food.  Anzati only consider fellow Anzati or individuals powerful in the Force to be their peers.  Even so, Anzati are aloof, only showing emotion during the thrill of the hunt.  Some Anzati have mastered their hunger, and are possessed of an aura of peace and calm.  These Anzati find they can get along with other species much better than their disdainful brethren.
Physical Description: Anzati appear to be pale humans at first glance, but their wide, round noses and cheek pouches give them away to those who know what to look for.  Otherwise, they are only recognizable when they unfurl their feeding proboscis from their cheek pouches.
Homeworld: Anzati hail from Anzat, whose location is a closely guarded secret.  Anzati spend most of their time off-world, returning home only for mating purposes.
Languages: Anzati speak their Anzat, which is unknown to any who aren’t Anzat themselves.  It is not known if Anzat is even their native language, or simply a long dead language that once dominated the galaxy much as basic does presently.
Example names: Dannik Jerriko, Volfe Karkko, Akku Seii, Nikkos Tyris, Salje Tasha, Mischa Vorfren, Rath Kelkko
Adventurers: Anzati in the galaxy can be any number of classes, but tend to favor Scout and Scoundrel.  However, since all Anzati are Force sensitive, it is not unheard of for the Jedi to try and tame their predatory nature and absorb them into their ranks.  Unfortunately, all such experiments have eventually been lost to the Dark Side thus far.

Anzat Species Traits
Ability Modifiers: +2 Strength, +2 Dexterity, -4 Charisma.  Anzati are physically gifted, but tend to view all other sentient species as food, negatively impacting their dealings with them.
Size: As Medium creatures, Anzati have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
Speed: Anzat base speed is 6 squares.
Telepathic: All Anzati are able to read minds.  All Anzati are considered to possess the Mind Trick Force power, and can make Use the Force Checks untrained for the purposes of using the power.  In addition, all Anzati can make untrained Use the Force checks to use the Sense Force and Telepathy applications of the skill.  If the Anzat should become trained in Use the Force, they receive a +2 species bonus to Use the Force checks for both applications.
Soup: Anzati do not eat food in the traditional sense, and must instead feed on the Force energy of sentient victims.  An Anzat must burn at least 1 Force Point per week in order to survive.  This Force Point can either come from a victim, or their own reserve of Force Points.  In order to drain a victim, the Anzat must make a successful unarmed attack against the Fortitude Defense of a grappled, stunned, or helpless creature.  Instead of dealing damage, this attack drains one Force Point from the victim and fulfills the requirement to the Anzat for the week.  Failing to feed on 1 Force Point sends the Anzat 1 persistent step down the condition track, and can only move back up the track by spending or feeding on a Force Point.
If the Anzat moves to the bottom of the condition track, he becomes “feral”.  Anzat characters who go feral are turned over to the GM for control, and suffer a -10 penalty to Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma, (minimum 1) while gaining a +6 bonus to Strength and +4 bonus to Dexterity.  Feral Anzati attack any sentient being in sight, starting with the nearest, feeding on their soup immediately.  Feral Anzati are susceptible to mind-influencing effects that would affect animals.  In order to escape the feral state and return to their right mind, Anzati must feed on 10 Force Points (minus their Constitution Mod) within a week’s time.  Every week that passes adds an additional Force Point to the total needed to remove the feral state.
Automatic Languages: Anzat and Basic.
