Zeitgeist

Fat ugly slug’s with superior mind control.

Physical Description

Zeitgeists are large blue slug-like beings

Racial Traits

• -4 Strength, -4 Dexterity, -2 Constitution, +2 Wisdom, +8 Charisma: Why be physical if one can make others do the job.
• Medium: As a Medium creature, a Zeitgeist has no special bonuses or penalties due to its size.
• Powerful Bulk: The bulk of zeitgeists lets them function in many ways as if they were one size category larger. Whenever a zeitgeist is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), the zeitgeist is treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to him. A zeitgeist is also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature’s special attacks based on size (such as improved grab or swallow whole) can affect him. However, his space and reach remain those of a creature of his actual size. Unlike powerful build, a zeitgeist cannot use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty. Also the above benefits of this racial trait do not stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that change the subject’s size category.
