[Snake]

Potential Name: Texugo

Potential Race Type: Other

Potential Lore: The Texugo are a race of known cheats and thieves which sometimes rival the Muridae. They are rumored to be the ones who invented Spellthievery after pushing the concept of stealing a step beyond what could be considered 'normal' and their own natural tendency of being crafty with whatever they do. The Texugo tend to worship a rival god to Amiras, only called by 'The God of Trickery', whose powers and values entice more skill and cunning than sheer, 'undeserved' luck.

His heritage often blesses their own children with an uncanny ability to always make the best out of tricky situations where they can add an extra touch of mischief to their misdeeds.

Potential Base Stats:

2 STR | 2 WIL | 5 SKI | 6 CEL | 5 DEF | 5 RES | 4 VIT | 0 FAI | 3 LUC | 8 GUI | 2 SAN | 0 APT

Racial Passive Examples:

Raccoon God's Blessing - The magical quality of a Texugo's blessing gives them an unique mastery over pilfering and cunning. Modifies the Scaled GUI chance of Trickery effects from happening to 2x, from 1.5x, and the base duration of stolen buffs increased by 1 (+1 per 10 Scaled SAN) rounds.

Sleight of Hand Mastery - The Tanuki are naturally gifted at dexterous acts with their hands, which increases the speed of Lockpicking attempts by 25%.

When successfully disarming chest traps, if any, there is a chance equal to (Scaled SAN)% that you will find a hidden compartment and gain an extra loot roll attempt from the chest.

Racial Skill Examples:

Hasty Steal - (3M, 10 FP, 2 Round CD) Targets one enemy in 1 range and attempts to steal a beneficial buff from them.

Trickery: You gain +2M if you successfully steal a buff.

Quick Swindle - (3M, 15 FP, 3 Round CD) Targets one enemy in range and attempts to 'sell' the 'goods' you got. For every beneficial buff you have (prioritizing stolen ones), you'll trade it with your enemy, mutually stealing from each other. This will repeat up to 2 + (1 per 10 Scaled SAN) times, or until the condition is no longer met.

Trickery: For that buff, you will not trade it properly and will instead, steal it from them and an additional (Scaled SAN/2) FP from them.

Escape Plan - (3M, 15 FP, 3 Round CD) Throws a wine-laced smoke bomb in a 3 Range circle area within 4 Range. The bomb will explode on impact, releasing a burst of Intoxicating Mist (Dark) in the area of effect, which lingers for 3 rounds.

If you are also in the radius, the magical smoke will linger around you and conceal your presence for as long as you are quiet, making you gain 'Sneak' for 2 (+1 per 10 Scaled SAN) rounds.

Racial Trait Examples:

Low Profile - Texugo Lifestyle Trait (Mutually exclusive.) A good way to not get hurt is to stay out of the way. While you are under the effects of Sneak, you will gain a sub-status effect called 'Low Profile', which makes you unable to be targeted by enemies and allies. Using any action but Move or Skip will cause the status to end. (Goes on a 2 round CD, after you lose the buff.)

Thief's Perception - Texugo Lifestyle Trait (Mutually exclusive.) You're someone who embraced the life of stealing and dashing, for everything is yours for the taking. All stealing actions can critically succeed, stealing an additional buff.

Honest Lifestyle - Texugo Lifestyle Trait (Mutually exclusive.) Stealing is for trash pandas! By using your gifted knowledge of how stealing works, you can keep what is yours more reliably on yourself. Your Steal bonus effects are disabled, but your buffs and spells cannot be stolen.

Additional Notes:

- Just use Redtail's tail, but make it racoon-like by adding strips to it. Easy peasy for assets.
