Nosferatu-Born (Ancient-Born)

Traits

The union that results in an ancient-born is too horrific for most to imagine. Even in relative youth a nosferatu is so terrible to behold that any such coupling must be the result of arcane manipulation or insanity. Ancient-born's hatred for humanity is reflected in their appearance; from birth they are misshapen, sallow, and painfully thin. Abuse from their disgusted peers wears deep on ancient-born's skin thanks to their physical weakness. Lacking the gift of immortality to offset the wasting effect of the curse they are born with, their chalky complexion scars easily and bruises like an overripe peach. Nosferatu-Born have a +2 racial bonus to Strength and Wisdom, a –2 penalty to Constitution, and a +2 racial bonus on Athletics and Lore (nature) checks.
