Jiang-Shi-Born (Ru-Shi)

Traits

Also called a ru-shi, a jiang-shi-born is usually the result of some foul ritual or a magically possessed father rather than direct congress between a human and jiang-shi. Jiang-shis lack any natural desire for physical contact or procreation, and their putrefying internal organs make most unable to conceive. Ru-Shi have a +2 racial bonus to Strength and Intelligence, a –2 penalty to Dexterity, and a +2 racial bonus on Mobility and Knowledge (world) checks.
