Gyotzi

Humanoid dumplings of small size but heavy body.

Personality

Often cheerful and always gluttonous, gyotzi enjoy good meals and the company of friends above all things. Sometimes they are considered lazy but in reality they are very industrious abd they developed a successful society. They like to be in comfort but they know that they must work before enjoying their well-deserved rest.

Physical Description

They are, quite literally, human-like dumplings, with soft, round bodies of white color, simple limbs and their heads are dumplings with mouth, nose, ear and eyes, and sometimes hair and facial hair (their heads come in different shapes of dumplings).

They tend to wear robes, both plain and colourful, and sandals at their feet.

Relations

Happy as they are, gyotzi are well received among halflings, gnomes and elves, while their attention to work makes them respectable in the eyes of dwarves. Some more savage races may consider them more food than people, but gyotzi present a fierce opposition to them. They entertain relationships with many people for trading of goods and culture.

Alignment

Most gyotzi are lawful good, or lawful neutral or neutral good, as they value community and peace among themselves the most, but less good and law-inclined gyotzi are not unheard of.

Lands

They live in kingdoms or even empire, in places where they have been able to thrive. They tend to build grand cities, with ordered and regular streets and houses.

Religion

Most gyotzi are animists, worship their ancients and pay homage to a variety of deities, often consolidated in their culture, with no specific preference among them, as each one covers an important aspect of their society.

Language

Most of them speak a very accented form of Common, some say with a Sylvan influence due to their fey origin.

Names

Their names are made by short syllables, usually in pairs or groups of three, but they tend to use a nickname in public, usually describing their main activity, a deed they achieved or some characteristics of their.

Racial Traits

  • Fey (Spiritfolk): They are minor food fairies, which have a very urban lifestyle. 
  • Small: As a Small creature, a gyotzi gains a +1 size bonus to Armor Class, a +1 size bonus on attack rolls, a –4 size penalty on special attack (bull rushes, grapples, overruns, and trips) checks, and a +4 size bonus on Hide checks, but it uses smaller weapons than humans use, and its lifting and carrying limits are three-quarters of those of a Medium character.
  • Gyotzi base land speed is 20 feet.  
  • Low-Light Vision: A gyotzi can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. She retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions. 
  • Cooking Expert: Gyotzi gain a racial +2 to either Craft (food), Perform (gastronomy) or Profession (Cook) (choose one). They may spend one skill point per level to gain max skill ranks per level in the chosen skill. 
  • Delicious: They are incredibly tasty, and they suffer a -2 against swallowing attempts. If they suffer at least as much fire damage as their HD, this penalty increases to -4 and the one eating them is under the effects of goodberry with a caster level equal to the gyotzi's HD. 
  • Fatten (Ex): As a move action, once per day, a gyotzi may expand its mass, doubling its height and multiplying its weight by 8. It becomes Medium-sized (if not already) and gains Powerful Build. It also gains +2 size bonus to Con, -2 to Dex, -1 to attacks and AC and its land speed doesn't increase. This effect lasts 1 round per Constitution modifier (minimum 1)
