I'm currently going through some stuff and figured I'd post the Regional Traits that I created based off the Regional Feats from the Player's Guide to Faerûn. For those of you that are new to Pathfinder, traits are a 'half-feat' that can be chosen at 1st-level during character creation to give a small benefit and some flavor to the character. They are not as powerful as full feats, so I took the Regional feats and reduced their benefits a bit to make them into traits. For most Pathfinder games, the general rule is that PC's get two traits at creation in addition to the regular feat. I'd go a bit further and only allow a single trait for the characters at creation.
But enough of that:
Arcane Schooling: [Deep Imaskari, Human (Chessenta. the Golden Water, Halruaa, Lantan, Mulhorand, Nimbral, Unther, or the Wizards’ Reach), or Planetouched] Choose an arcane spellcasting class (Bard, Sorcerer or Wizard). You can activate spell trigger items as if you had 1 level in the selected class. The item’s caster level may not exceed ½ your character level.
Artist: [Elf (Sildëyuir or Snow Eagle Aerie), Gnome (Thesk or the Western Heartlands), Half-elf (the Dalelands), or Human (Chessenta, Waterdeep, or the Western Heartlands)] You gain a +1 bonus on checks with one Perform check and one Craft skill that involves art, such as calligraphy, painting, sculpture or weaving.
Axethrower: [Dwarf (the Great Glacier), Human (the Great Glacier, the Moonshae Islands, the North, or Vaasa), Lizardfolk (Surkh), or Orc (the Moonsea or Underdark – Northdark)] When you make a ranged attack with a thrown weapon (axe, spear, javelin, or the like), you may add your Strength bonus instead of you Dexterity bonus to the attack roll.
Blooded: [Centaur (the Plateau of Thay), Dwarf (Underdark – Earthroot), Elf (Cormanthor Drow, the Inner Sea, Menzoberranzan, or the Outer Sea), Gnoll (the Plateau of Thay), Grimlock (Underdark – Reeshov), Halfling (the Chondalwood), Human (the Dalelands, The Nelanther Isles, Silverymoon, or Tethyr), or Orc (Underdark – Northdark or Vaasa)] You get a +1 morale bonus to Initiative checks and a +1 competence bonus on Perception checks.
Bloodline of Fire: [Human (Calimshan) or Planetouched (Calimshan)] You receive a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against fire effects.
Bullheaded: [Dwarf (Underdark – Earthroot, Underdark – Northdark, the Great Rift, or the Spine of the World), Human (Altumbel, Damara, the Great Dale, Rashemen, or the Western Heartlands), or Taer (the Icerim Mountains)] You gain a +1 morale bonus on all Will saves.
Cosmopolitan: [Dwarf (Waterdeep), Elf (Waterdeep), Half-elf (Waterdeep), Halfling (Amn), or Human (Amn, the Golden Water, the Sword Coast, Waterdeep)] You gain a +1 racial bonus on Sense Motive checks.
Daylight Adaptation: [Dwarf (Underdark – Northdark), Elf (Cormanthor Drow), Kuo-toa (Underdark – Sloopdilmonpolop), or Orc (Chessenta, the Hordelands, the North, or Thesk)] You lose the Light Sensitivity or Light Blindness racial weakness.
Discipline: [Chitine (Underdark – Yathchol), Elf (Evereska or the Yuirwood), Gnome (the Western Heartlands), Halfling (Luiren), Human (Aglarond, Cormyr, Shadovar, Shou Expatriate, or Thay), Planetouched (Mulhorand), or Slyth (Underdark – Fluvenilstra)] You gain a +1 racial bonus on Will saves and a +1 competence bonus on concentration checks.
Education: [Elf (Evermeet, Silverymoon, or Snow Eagle Aerie), Gnome (Lantan), Half-elf (Silverymoon), or Human (Chessenta, Lantan, Silverymoon, or Waterdeep)] Select two Knowledge skills. These skills are now considered class skills and you get a +1 competence bonus on them.
Ethran: [Female, Human (Rashemen)] You gain a +1 competence bonus on Handle Animal and Survival checks while in your homeland. Furthermore, you can participate in circle magic.
Fearless: [Aarakocra (the Stormhorns), Elf (Elven Court or Snow Eagle Aerie), Gloaming (Sphur Upra), Gnome (Lantan), Halfling (Channath Vale or the Western Heartlands), Human (Anauroch or Impiltur), or Orc (the Hordelands)] You cannot become shaken, and you ignore the effects of the shaken condition. You still can be frightened or panicked.
Foe Hunter: [Dwarf (the Galena Mountains or the Spine of the World), Half-elf (the Dragon Coast), Halfling (the North), or Human (Chult, Cormyr, Impiltur, the Moonsea, the North, Samarach, Tashalar, or Thindol)] You acquire a favored enemy. This benefit functions like the ranger class feature of the same name, except the type of creature you oppose is determined by the list below.
Cormyr — Humanoid (goblin)
Chult — Humanoid (goblin)
The Dragon Coast — Dragon
The Galena Mountains — Humanoid (goblin)
Impiltur — Outsider (demon)
The Moonsea — Humanoid (orc)

Mercantile Background: [Dwarf (the Sword Coast or Underdark – Darklands), Gnome (Lantan or Underdark – Northdark), Halfling (Amn), or Human (Amn, Lantan, Sembia, Shou Expatriate, Tashalar, Tharsult, Thesk, Turmish, the Vast, or Waterdeep)] When you sell goods and items, you get 75% of the list price instead of 50%. Once per month, you can buy any single item at 75% of the offered price.
Militia: [Half-elf (Aglarond), Halfling (Lantan), or Human (Altumbel, the Dalelands, Impiltur, Samarach, Thindol, or Turmish)] You gain proficiency with all martial weapons.
Resist Poison: [Bugbear (the Earthfast Mountains), Chitine (Underdark – Yathchol), Dwarf (Underdark – Northdark), Goblin (the Earthfast Mountains), Hobgoblin (the Earthfast Mountains), Human (Dambrath or Lapaliiya), or Orc (the Moonsea or the North)] You gain a +2 racial bonus to Fortitude saves against poisons.

Battlecry (Su): Fzoul gives a powerful warcry against his hated foes. All enemies within a 30' burst must make a Will save (DC 23) or be panicked (<4 HD), frightened (<8 HD), or shaken (<17 HD). This effect lasts for up to 17 rounds per day.
Blast Infidel (Su): Fzoul can use negative energy spells to their maximum effect on creatures with a Chaotic Good alignment. Any spell with a description that involves inflicting or channeling negative energy (inflict spells, mass inflict light wounds, harm) cast on a creature of the opposed alignment works as if under the effect of a Maximize Spell feat (without using a higher-level spell slot). Undead affected by this ability heal the maximized amount of damage.
Divine Reach (Su): Fzoul can use touch spells on targets up to 30 feet away. If the spell requires a melee touch attack, he must make a ranged touch attack instead.
Dominating Presence (Sp): Fzoul can use dominate person at will as a spell-like ability at caster level 17. He can use this ability for 17 rounds per day. These rounds do not need to be consecutive.
Hated Foe (Sp): Choose one opponent. Against that foe Fzoul gains a +8 profane bonus on attack rolls, saving throws and AC for 1 round. He can use this ability 8 times per day.
Oppressive Touch (Sp): Fzoul can imbue a creature as a melee touch attack, giving it a -8 penalty on Will saves for 1 round. He can use this ability to grant the bonus 8 times per day. |

First things first:
Hatred Domain
(Same spells as listed in Spell Compendium)
Domain Power:
Hated Foe (Sp): Choose one opponent. Against that foe you gain a +1 profane bonus for every two cleric levels (minimum 1) on attack rolls, saving throws and AC for 1 round. You can use this ability 3 + Wisdom modifier times per day.
Battlecry (Su): When the cleric reaches 8 levels, he can give a powerful warcry against his hated foes. All enemies within a 30' burst must make a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 class levels + Wis modifier) or be panicked (<1/4 class levels worth of HD), frightened (<1/2 class levels worth of HD), or shaken (< class levels worth of HD). This effect lasts for up to a number of rounds per day equal to his class levels. These rounds need not be consecutive.
Tyranny Domain
(Same spells as listed in Spell Compendium)
Oppressive Touch (Sp): The cleric can imbue a creature as a melee touch attack, giving it a -1 penalty for every two class levels (minimum 1) on Will saves for 1 round. He can use this ability to grant the bonus 3 + Wis modifier times per day.
Dominating Presence (Sp): When the cleric reaches 8th level, he can use dominate person at will as a spell-like ability at caster level equal to his class level. He can use this ability for a number of rounds per day equal to his class level. These rounds do not need to be consecutive. |

Just to throw it out their... A Revamp of Fzoul Chembryl would be cool... ;) |

Yeah reread through it again and you right ;), as for specific characters im pretty sure i can get that good. Thanks again Ashe. |
| Ashe Ravenheart |
Posted - 11 Nov 2009 : 20:34:01
Do you mean specific characters or just the Shade template from FRCS?
The template should be easy to use as-is, the only modifications are for the skill bonuses. Instead of +4 to Listen/Spot and +8 to Hide/Move Silently, it should be +4 to Perception and +8 to Stealth. |

Hey all, figured this next comment should go here so, here it goes:
Still working on my game set in cormyr and trying to get things up to date for pathfinder and i was wondering if anybody had updated the shades to PF. I mean i could just use them as is, but im hoping somebody has modified them.
So, Does anybody have any ideas?? |

See I can understand that, and it makes sense when you say it that way, but depending on the element is what I would say. After all some of them have to have that exotic look about them, I think Tieflings get it also because they are related to the evil planes, where the elementals come from a more exotic, and neutral based group. I could see it for a few of them, but not all. Of course it depends on where the elemental bloodline comes from, I like the expanded Tieflings in the Pathfinder adventure path #25. |
| Ashe Ravenheart |
Posted - 30 Oct 2009 : 17:34:19
See, I'm not so sure about the Elemental Sorcery when they don't have a penalty to Charisma. Much like Tieflings, the penalty is to reflect the "outsider" nature of the character in dealing with others. |

I liked the Genasi, but have to agree i liked their abilities to breath water, and not need to breath as well. I was thinking having looked at the Bestiary if something like this would work better perhaps.
Air Plane-touched:
+2 Dexterity, +2 Intelligence, -2 Strength
Air Elemental plane-touched tend to be quick of wit, and limb, but are typically not strong.
Darkvision: 60ft
Spell Like ability: Levitate 1/day as a spell-like ability, the caster level for this ability equals the Air plane-touched’s level. Air Plane-touched do not need to breath.
Elemental Sorcery: Air plane-touched sorcerers with the Elemental bloodline treat their Charisma score as two points higher for all sorcerer class abilities. They must choose air as their bloodline element, if they are of the elemental bloodline.
Child of the Elements: Air plane-touched receive a +2 racial bonus to all saving throws against air-based spells and effects.
Elemental Resistance: Electricity 5
Language: Air plane-touched begin play speaking Common and Auran. Air plane-touched with high Intelligence scores can choose any of the following bonus languages: Draconic, Dwarven, Elven, Gnome, Halfling, Terran, Aquatic, Ignan, and Sylvan.
And yes I liked the Child of the elements part you did so I added it in, was having a problem with figuring out what skills a Air elemental would be good at. And the Elemental Sorcery just makes sense. If you wish to see the rest of them I would be happy to post them. |

HELLo!
Very nice, indeed. Just a couple of Copy-Pasta errors in "Favored Enemy (Magical Beasts)" and "Favored Terrain (Forest)" for Drizzt.
Happy playin'! |

Special Abilities
Arcane Bond (Su): Elaith has bonded his ring of the ram. Casting without his bond forces him to make a concentration check (DC 20 + spell level) or lose the spell. He can cast one spell a day that is not prepared by using the bond.
Bravery (Ex): Elaith has a +1 bonus on Will saves against fear.
Hand of the Apprentice (Su): Elaith can cause his melee weapon to fly from his grasp and strike a foe before instantly returning. As a standard action, he can make a single attack using a melee weapon at a range of 30 feet. This attack is treated as a ranged attack with a thrown weapon, except that he adds his Intelligence modifier to the attack roll instead of his Dexterity modifier (damage still relies on Strength). This ability cannot be used to perform a combat maneuver. He can use this ability 6 times per day.
Metamagic Mastery (Su): Elaith can apply any one metamagic feat that he knows to a spell he is about to cast. This does not alter the level of the spell or the casting time. He can use this ability 1 per day. Any time he uses this ability to apply a metamagic feat that increases the spell level by more than 1, he must use an additional daily usage for each level above 1 that the feat adds to the spell. Even though this ability does not modify the spell’s actual level, he cannot use this ability to cast a spell whose modified spell level would be above the level of the highest-level spell that he is capable of casting. |

Thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that have been magically manipulated to impede motion, however, still affect him. |

Special Abilities
Arcane Bond (Su): Elminster has bonded his sword. Casting without his bond forces him to make a concentration check (DC 20 + spell level) or lose the spell. He can cast one spell a day that is not prepared by using the bond.
Arcane Fire (Su): Elminster has the ability to change arcane spell energy into arcane fire, manifesting it as a bolt of raw magical energy. The bolt is a ranged touch attack with 600 foot range that deals 5d6 points of damage plus 1d6 points of damage per level of the spell used to create the effect.
Arcane Reach (Su): Elminster can use spells with a range of touch on a target up to 30 feet away. He must make a ranged touch attack.
Evasion (Ex): If Elminster makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage, he instead takes no damage.
Hand of the Acolyte (Su): Elminster can cause his melee weapon to fly from his grasp and strike a foe before instantly returning. As a standard action, he can make a single attack using a melee weapon at a range of 30 feet. This attack is treated as a ranged attack with a thrown weapon, except that he adds his Wisdom modifier to the attack roll instead of his Dexterity modifier (damage still relies on Strength). This ability cannot be used to perform a combat maneuver. He can use this ability 7 times per day.
Hand of the Apprentice (Su): Elminster can cause his melee weapon to fly from his grasp and strike a foe before instantly returning. As a standard action, he can make a single attack using a melee weapon at a range of 30 feet. This attack is treated as a ranged attack with a thrown weapon, except that he adds his Intelligence modifier to the attack roll instead of his Dexterity modifier (damage still relies on Strength). This ability cannot be used to perform a combat maneuver. He can use this ability 11 times per day.
Mastery of Counterspelling: When Elminster counterspells a spell, it is turned back upon the caster as if it were fully affected by a spell turning spell. If the spell cannot be affected by spell turning, then it is merely counterspelled.
Mastery of Elements: Elminster can alter an arcane spell when cast so that it utilizes a different element from the one it normally uses.
Metamagic Mastery (Su): Elminster can apply any one metamagic feat that he knows to a spell he is about to cast. This does not alter the level of the spell or the casting time. He can use this ability 9 per day. Any time he uses this ability to apply a metamagic feat that increases the spell level by more than 1, he must use an additional daily usage for each level above 1 that the feat adds to the spell. Even though this ability does not modify the spell’s actual level, he cannot use this ability to cast a spell whose modified spell level would be above the level of the highest-level spell that he is capable of casting.
Name and Song Attunement (Su): Whenever Elminster's name or the Rune of the Chosen is spoken, he hears it along with the next nine words that person speaks.
Quick Disable (Ex): It takes Elminster half the normal amount of time to disable a trap using the Disable Device skill (minimum 1 round).
Silver Fire (Su): Manifesting as a beautiful silver-white flame that surrounds Elminster and fills the area into which it is projected, silver fire can be used for different effects, both beneficial and revitalizing to the wielder or as a weapon upon their foes.
Spell Power: This ability increases Elminster's effective caster level by +1 (for purposes of determining level-dependent spell variables such as damage dice or range, and caster level checks only).
Touch of Calm (Sp): Elminster can cause his hand to shimmer with divine radiance, allowing him to touch a creature as a standard action and give it a +3 bonus on a single Spellcraft, Use Magic Device or concentration check. This ability lasts for 1 hour or until the creature touched elects to apply the bonus to a roll. He can use this ability to grant the bonus 7 times per day. |

Actually, if you all want to post conversions on this scroll, that's fine with me. Keeps everything in one nice, neat bucket.  |

I have wanted to convert many things from FR over to Pathfinder. I think we should try to get a concentrated thread for conversions. Is this possible?
Maybe a new forum where we can post our conversions of different aspects. This way we are not all redundant, and we may be able to convert our campaigns even faster.
As it stands I know longer have to convert Genasi thanks to ashe.

Good work, Ashe! I have nothing to criticize there, but I'd like to ask something: why did you choose to use the "original" bonus types? I thought all traits were supposed to grant trait bonuses or general bonuses so that they would (purposefully) stack with spells and feats.
As I mentioned above, the Traits are meant to be a 'half-feat' where they are supposed to be more of a flavor/story feat than something that actually is a real mechanical benefit.
Sure, but many of the traits (e.g. those granting morale bonuses) wouldn't stack with real feats or spells, which I think is the reason Paizonians decided to make all (?) of them grant either untyped or trait bonuses. I also think it's simpler that way (from everyone's perspective -- even that of the designers), because you always know that whatever feats or spells PCs have, traits are a totally separate "resource pool" (that has minimal synergy with other PC resources and does not overlap them). It's not a big issue, but I wonder if some traits granting "traditional" bonuses will make certain feats less lucrative, balance-wise, and some feats may also make certain traits seem less worthwhile than others. As a player, I'm personally less concerned about mechanics and more interested in picking traits that fit my character's background, but I'm fairly sure that the players in my PF campaign would make careful mechanical calculations with this stuff.
Still, very good job on those traits and the Genasi -- I'm definitely going to steal them!   |

I did pull those abilities from the races so they wouldn't require racial hit die. I just felt that the breathless and water-breathing were a bit too powerful for a zero-level race. |

Working on it... The key is that Pathfinder no longer has Level Adjustments, so the more powerful races have racial hit die. For instance, they split the Drow into Drow and the Noble Drow subrace. The regular drow does not have racial hit dice and no level adjustment, and cut the more powerful innate abilities. While the Noble Drow has better starting stats, abilities and such and it balances this power by giving them 3 Racial hit die.
Ok, thank you. I ordered my copy from Amazon, so I'll hopefully be seeing it soon. I'm really wanting to know how they worked aasimar.  |

Basically, I looked at the Pathfinder character traits (Available Here) and did my 'best guess' judgement as to how to trim the feats back to a trait. Most of the time, I reduced the bonus given (usually from a +2 to a +1) and actually 'named' the bonus. For instance, most of the regional feats were written that they gave a flat +2 bonus to a skill/save and it stacks with everything since it was labeled 'competence', 'racial', etc. By adding that label in, it makes sure that it doesn't stack on top of other effects.
The only feat that is pretty much 'as-is' from the PGtF is the Axethrower trait which I didn't feel was overpowering as it was written. |
