==Ivories==

When [[Deeka (3.5e Race)|deeka]] crossbreed with [[SRD:Humans (Race)|humans]], the resultant offspring are known as ivories. Due to "hybrid vigor" (an occurrence between two closely related species, where offspring are tougher than either parent species), these half-breeds possess some of the strengths of their parents as well as abilities all their own. Ivories are also slightly longer lived than their parent races.

Ivories raised in [[Deeka (3.5e Race)|deekan]] society, tend to behave more like their [[Deeka (3.5e Race)|deeka]] parent (tending toward lawfulness). However, when raised outside of [[Deeka (3.5e Race)|deekan]] culture, they tend to be reserved and thoughtful with perseverance and determination, driven by their ambitions and varied outlooks.

===Physical Description===

Ivories have sleek, ivory-hued skin, striking platinum-blonde hair and cold, pale eyes. They retain the small clavicle protuberances of their [[Deeka (3.5e Race)|deekan]] parentage. They grow to slightly over-tall human height with a statuesque mien. They bear superficial resemblances to [[SRD:Celestial Creature|celestials]] and [[SRD:Planetouched—Aasimars (Race)|aasimars]].

===Land & Culture===

With no distinct claims of land, ivories often live in and among the territories of humans, deeka and other cosmopolitan settlements. Their historically low population count has afforded them only the barest identifiable culture, and this is only due in part to well known ivory figures who's reputations have created expectations and stereotypes. Many folk know of ivories by their indomitable fortitude and efforts to carve themselves a place in the world. Some ivories turn to places of service and duty, such as militaries and churches, to fit in.

Ivories often possess names from either of their bloodlines, depending on who they were raised with. If orphaned, ivories are often named after celestial beings and angels and are taught (or learn) to speak Celestial instead of Deeka.

* {{Property Link|Type|SRD:Humanoid Type|Humanoid}} ([[Subtype::Deeka]], {{Property Link|Subtype|SRD:Human Subtype|Human}}):  Ivories are considered [[SRD:Human Subtype|human]] and [[Deeka (3.5e Race)|deeka]] due to their heritage.

* Ivory [[base land speed]] is 30 feet.
* [[Bright-light Vision (3.5e Creature Ability)|Bright-light Vision]] {{Su}}: Ivories are able to see in conditions of bright or blinding light without any difficulty. [[SRD:Dazzled|Dazzling]] and [[SRD:Blindness/Deafness|magical blindness]] has no effect on them.
* 4 extra [[SRD:Skill Points|skill points]] at 1st level and 1 extra skill point at each additional level. An ivory may choose any single "usable untrained" skill to be a class skill for all his HD.

* [[SRD:Endurance|Endurance]] and [[SRD:Diehard|Diehard]]: Ivories gain [[SRD:Endurance|Endurance]] and [[SRD:Diehard|Diehard]] as racial bonus feats.
* Delay Effect {{Su}}: An ivory can delay the onset of magical effects (regardless if a save is allowed) targeted on him as an [[SRD:Swift Actions|immediate action]] by making a level check (his HD total +1d20) opposed by a caster level check (the caster's caster level + 1d20). If he succeeds, he may delay the effect for a number of rounds equal to his [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]] bonus (minimum of 1). He may only delay one effect at a time. If he attempts to delay another, the first effect immediately activates.
* Determination {{Ex}}: While at HP equal to or fewer than his ECL, he may double-roll a d20 roll once per round, taking his choice of the two results.
