Brumorno

A race of mortal feys with the power to summon or disperse fog.

Personality

Timid and reserved to the point of shyness, brumorni are a reclusive race which avoids almost all interactions with other creatures, unless absolutely necessary, and oftentimes these interactions ends in violence.

They are quiet and rarely speak their mind, favoring introspection over expression. They are as cold as the mist that rolls down a mountain.

Physical Description

They are humanoid, with dull, grey, light-blue, green or violet skin, with hair of similar color, deep yellow eyes, fringed ears and pointed teeth. Their most notable feature is the single horn which grows on their head, in a random point and various forms. It's usually light brown, with one hole on the tip and hollow inside, which makes them very brittle and not suited for combat. They also have cheratine-ridged brows, shoulders and knuckles.

Relations

As specified, they are very distrusting of other races and even of other brumorni. This has led to more conflicts than peaceful relationships. They also keep to themselves among other brumorni. Common folk often talks about them as spirits of the mist, or other similar monstrous creatures.

Alignment

Most of them are neutral, some neutral evil. Very few stray towards chaos, law or good.

Lands

They are said to be native of a misterious Plane of Mists, but inhabit any place with enough fog, especially in mountain forests.

Religion and Society

They follow a religion which involves consulting mist for divination and advice, sometimes referred to as the Lady of Veils, which helps them remain hidden. Many also pay respect to deities of secrets and stealth.

Language

They speak Sylvan, and learn Common to be able to send strangers away.

Racial Traits

• +2 Wisdom, -2 Charisma: Their meditative nature grants them a strengthned intuition, but leaves them cold and unaffective.
• Humanoid (Spiritfolk): Said to be the offspring of humanoids and mystical creatures of fogs, they have innate magical capabilities. 
• Medium: As a Medium creature, a brumorno has no special bonuses or penalties due to its size.
• Brumorno base land speed is 30 feet.  
• Foghorn (Su): At will, as a standard action which doesn't provoke, a brumorno may blow its horn to produce a 5-feet cube of fog which occupies its space or an adjacent square. The fog may be stationary or move in a straigth line, with a speed of 20 feet each round (the choice is made at the time of using this power). At 3 HD and each 3 subsequent HD, the area increases by 5 feet, up to 30 feet. The effect lasts one minute per Wisdom modifier (minimum 1) but is otherwise treated as normal mist. The horn may be used also to disperse and dispel fog, with the same action, range and area of the previous effect. If a caster level check is needed, use the brumorno's HD + its positive Wisdom modifier. 
• Fog Stalker (Ex): A brumorno may see in fog and fog-like conditions further than regular humanoids. It sees perfectly the first 15 feet, suffers partial concealment the subsequent 15 feet and total concealment beyond that point. It can qualify for the Fog Stalker feat, even if it doesn't meet the requirements. It also gains a +2 to Hide, Intimidate and Move Silently while in fog or mist. 
• Hidden in the Mist: Brumorni are incredibly good at remaining hidden. They treat Hide and Move Silently as class skills for all their classes.
• Automatic Languages: Common, Sylvan
