I had no idea you owned so much 2nd Ed.

A friend's brother went off to college and left his books behind. The mom was going to sell them at a garage sale but nobody bought them (uncultured swine).  I got them ALL.  Except the Monstrous Manual, I bought that six years and three campaigns later.  And the Dragon issues, those were a present from a friend that worked at a library as a volunteer.  And Ravenloft and Dragonlance where later, from a used bookstore. 

The rest, I took some dude's books. Considering that family shoved y friend back into the foster care system and the dad ended up on drugs, all I can say is I think I gave them a better home.

I feel like the eyes are the most expressive part of the body. You can look into someone’s eyes and know how they are feeling. You don’t need to see the rest of a person’s face. If they are sad or happy or upset, you can see it in their eyes. So while eyes may not necessarily be the doors to the soul, they most definitely hold the key to our most closely guarded secrets. Our emotions. So take time to look into someone’s eyes. See if you can understand them just that tiniest bit better after this shared connection. See if you understand yourself better. The thing is, we don’t really think of eyes as expressing emotion. They just stay the same don’t they? But they don’t. They change. The slightest change of a person’s eyes makes the hugest difference. They can go from happy to worried to sad by relaxing or flexing a single muscle. But it’s much more. It’s how people interact. We look to the eyes for personal connection. So the eyes show out emotions best.

Oh, I see. Should have figured with Homestuck and all, I got really excited though. Your makeup is fantastic still.

I may cosplay her in the future.

Oh, there isn't much make-up (but thank you); just lippie really.

Is your side-blog cosplays of Death of the Endless, or something else?

Pathfinder Race: Mabotts (for Lost Literature)

The mabotts are a purely metropolitan race - they may have at one point started as humans as part of an enclosed enclave in a great city, but after years of exposure to a combination of the natural magicks of witches and the technical magicks of the artificers. Living up in high towers, surrounded by cat familiars, soon they were changed. 

And with their change, the ley lines of the cities brought this change to certain humans and half-elves born within both mystical grottos and urban areas; no one is quite sure what makes such a child born to be a mabott, but there is obviously some sort of system for choosing them. 

Nowadays, some mabotts are born by mabott parents, or more likely, by a mabott father who wandered through town and never came back...

In a city, mabotts are often employed in intellectual pursuits, being librarians, artificers, detectives, constables, models and burlesque dancers. And if anyone argues those aren't intellectual pursuits, most mabotts know how to use a variety of weaponry and where the squishy parts of their enemy's body is. 

The Mabott

+2 Intelligence, +2 Charisma - Mabotts are cunning and brilliant, and quite good to look at.

Medium Humanoid (Mabott)

Normal Speed - A mabott's base speed is 30 feet.

Envoy - Mabott's with an Intelligence score of 11 or higher gain the following spell-like abilities (the caster level is equal to the user's character level):

1/day—comprehend languages, detect magic, detect poison, read magic.

Item Affinity - A mabott can increase the caster level of a magic item they are using by +1, once per day. 

Knowledgeable - A mabott loves to be near a library. All mabotts can spend an hour reading to gain a +1 bonus to any one Knowledge skill of their choice until they awake the next morning. They can read for another hour to regain the bonus or change the bonus to another Knowledge skill. 

Mixed Magic - A mabott has a +2 bonus on caster level checks to overcome spell resistance.

Urban Arcana  - A mabott has a +1 dodge bonus to AC when fighting in a city. 

Weapon Familiarity - All mabotts are proficient in the use of the longsword, longbow and boomerang. If your campaign has guns, replace the pistol with the longbow. 

Languages - Common, Elven. Bonus Languages - Any
