ARUNTAR

• –4 Wisdom, +2 Charisma, +4 Constitution, +4 Dexterity, +4 Intelligence, +4 Strength

• Medium: As Medium creatures, Aruntar have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.

• Extraplanar: Aruntar are not native to the Prime Material Plane.

• Aruntar base land speed is 30 feet. 
• Aruntar gain the Improved Initiative and Dodge feats free.
• Darkvision 60'. 
• Automatic Language: Common. Bonus Languages: Any (other than secret languages, such as Druidic). See the Speak Language skill.
• Favored Class: Wizard. When determining whether a multiclass Aruntar takes an experience point penalty, his wizard class levels do not count.
• Magic Thought (Su): Aruntar have all numeric morale effects doubled (both positive and negative.)  Additionally, any Aruntar who becomes nauseated or blinded is also shaken.  An Aruntar who would normally be shaken is frightened, and one who would ordinarily be frightened instead becomes panicked.  This occurs regardless of the origin of fear.  Aruntar can never become immune to fear; any spells or effects that would grant an Aruntar immunity to mind-affecting abilities instead grant the Aruntar a +10 to the save, if there is one.
• Dazed by Pain (Ex): Whenever an Aruntar suffers damage, he must make a Will save with DC equal to the amount of damage he personally takes, or be unable to act in that round.  If the damage resulted from a spell, the DC equals the spell's save DC plus the damage it caused. For each increment of 10 that he fails the DC by, he is unable to act for an additional round.
• Easily Tired (Ex): Whenever Aruntar would become fatigued, they become exhausted.  Normal penalties for both fatigue and exhaustion apply.  An exhausted Aruntar loses that status after just four hours of rest.
• Self-Absorbed (Ex): Aruntar enjoy being flattered, and take a –4 penalty to all rolls to resist Charm or Diplomacy.  However, they have a very strong sense of self, which grants a +4 bonus against Domination effects.
• Level Adjustment: +0

Aruntar claim to be perfect humans, and hail from some far-off demiplane.  While they have many advantages, which they call their blessings, in being superior to humanity at nearly everything, an Aruntar's idealization of himself is what he is, and when under pressure or faced with failure, any loss of confidence on his part is quick to lead to disaster.  In addition, although Aruntar have an undeniable force of personality, the overweening arrogance of Aruntar does not endear them to most humans, or other races that cannot put up with such attitudes.  Many an Aruntar has acted in total security of his own abilities, only to be utterly destroyed by the one thing he overlooked in his calculations.

For some reason, all known Aruntar encountered in Mori are male.  Aruntar all have at least one "perfect" detail about their appearances, be it flawless skin, impeccably groomed hair, straight and pearly teeth, or some other aspect.  In general, this causes them to be vain and self-centered.

A few sages that are willing to speculate on the matter suggest that Aruntar are not, in fact, truly human, but are some sort of other-planar race made from the stuff of humanity, just as fire elementals are made of fire and archons are composed of the essence of goodness.  Other sages ridicule the notion of humanity having any single sort of essential nature on a level with primal elements.
