Description

They appear to be human.

Procreation

Their procreation follows the mother.

Magic

One in a million have soul magic. One in fifty thousand has heart magic. Body magic is possible, as is mind magi & void. Faith is not uncommon.

Special Powers

Venomirs can poison others with a touch. The poison is very potent & is most easily applied to others through the palm of the hand. Venomirs cannot poison other empaths or empath subraces.

A venomir's empathy is neutral, meaning it does not cause pleasure or pain to feel the emotions of others.

A venomir poisoning a mortal wound's worth of poison will feel drained for an hour after (-3 to further poisoning) or very weak for ten minutes (-7 to poisoning). Poisoning a deep wound's worth, the same scale applies, but 2 down (-1/-5). A normal wound's worth will merely leave them drained for a moment (-3 for one round). Anything less manifests as a minor drain.

Venomirs recognize other empaths & subraces instantly when one is within range of empathy.

Venomirs are very resistant to disease & poison (usually equal to their poisoning scores +6).

Weaknesses

Healing magic or faith can harm them, or at least cripple their venom.

Culture

Venomirs live in human society & are generally shunned by only the most virtuous. Due to their emergeance around the time of enders, they seem to have been less affected (by comparison) by prejudice. They find work mostly in areas where their abilities are a boon (assassins, poison tasters, etc).
