Ghorans are plant-type creatures

Ghorans have a fist-sized Ghorus seed in their belly, which they can expel as a full-round action. If planted in fertile ground and left undisturbed for 2d6 days, the seed grows into a healthy duplicate of the original ghoran. Once a ghoran expels its seed, it gains a negative level, and it dies as soon as its duplicate sprouts. Ghorans are fanatically protective of these seeds and consider destroying them the worst of crimes.

Ghorans are defined by their class levels and don't have racial Hit Dice. They have the following racial traits:

• +2 Constitution, +2 Charisma, -2 Intelligence
• +2 Natural Armor
• Plant type
• Delicious: Ghorans take a +2 penalty on Escape Artist and combat maneuver checks to escape a grapple against any creature with a bite attack with the grab ability.
• Natural Magic: Ghorans with a Charisma score of 11 or higher gain the following spell-like abilities: detect poison, goodberry, and purify food and drink.
• Ghorus Seed: As described above.
• Light Dependent: Ghorans take 1d4 points of Constitution damage each day they go without exposure to sunlight.
• Past-Life Knowledge: Ghorans remember memories encoded in their ghorus seed and treat all Knowledge skills as class skills.

Ghorans are friendly to other intelligent plants, good fey, elves, and gnomes. They distrust warlike, environment-destroying races and are wary of herbivores, including humans, whom they also admire and are grateful to for their creation. They usually follow the Green Faith or an Eldest and are rarely inclined towards a humanoid deity.

Ghorans are sentient and ambulatory

Ghorans are sentient, ambulatory plants with a shell and face of flowers. They were created by the renegade druid Ghorus while in the employ of the Archmage Nex. Ghorus created them as a food source for humans that could thrive on the cursed ground of central Nex, granting them intelligence to seek out the most fertile soil and adapt to their environment.

Over the centuries, the plants evolved sentience and ambulatory bodies that mimicked the appearance of humanoids as a method to discourage their enemies from hunting them and improve their chances of survival. They can shape their bodies within the basic confines of a humanoid silhouette. Their body, except for the face, stomach, and joints, is protected by a hard green rind, and their face is made up of layered petals with gaps in the shape of facial features.

Ghorans have considerable control over their bodies and can reform them to assume animal forms at will. They have a Ghorus seed in their abdomen, which, when planted, grows into a duplicate of the original Ghoran in 2d6 days. The original Ghoran dies when the duplicate sprouts, and the duplicate replaces it, reallocating all of its skill ranks. Ghorans are protective of their seeds and consider their destruction a heinous crime.

Ghorans are defined by their class levels and don't have racial Hit Dice. They are hardy and guileful, but process thoughts slowly, with +2 Constitution and Charisma but -2 Intelligence. They have tough, rugged skin with +2 Natural Armor. They are delicious and take a penalty to escape grappling. They are light-dependent and take 1d4 points of Constitution damage each day they go without exposure to sunlight. They have past-life knowledge, remembering memories encoded in their Ghorus seed, and treat all Knowledge skills as class skills.

Ghorans have a shell and face of flowers

Ghorans are sentient plants with a shell and face of flowers. They are green with layered petals making up their face, with gaps in the shape of facial features. Their humanoid form is designed to discourage enemies from hunting them and improve their chances of survival.

Ghorans were created by the renegade druid Ghorus, who named them after himself. They were originally created as a food source for humans, and Ghorus ensured that every part of the ghoran was delicious and nourishing, except for their Ghorus seed. This seed is fist-sized and carried in the ghoran's belly. If a ghoran dies or is destroyed, a new one can be grown from the seed, but the ghoran loses all its previous memories. Ghorans are very protective of their seeds and consider their destruction the ultimate crime.

Ghorans have considerable control over their bodies and can shape them within the confines of a humanoid silhouette. They are defined by their class levels and do not have racial hit points. They are a hardy race with a +2 Constitution and Charisma bonus but a -2 Intelligence penalty. They have a natural armour bonus of +2 and are delicious, taking a penalty to escape grappling. They are also light-dependent, taking 1d4 points of Constitution damage each day they go without sunlight.

Ghorans have a range of abilities, including natural magic and past-life knowledge. They are immune to all mind-affecting effects, as well as paralysis, poison, polymorph, sleep, and stun. They do not need to sleep, which makes them ideal for guard duty.

Ghorans are created by druidic magic

Ghorans are a race of plants that evolved from botanical experiments by the renegade druid Ghorus, who was in the employ of the Archmage Nex. During the war between Geb and Nex, Geb blighted the fertile soil of central Nex, threatening the nation with famine. In response, Ghorus created hardy mobile plants that could thrive on the cursed ground, granting them intelligence to seek out fertile soil and adapt to their environment.

Ghorans are sentient, ambulatory plants with a shell and face of flowers. They have considerable control over their bodies, shaping them within the confines of a humanoid silhouette. Each ghoran carries a fist-sized Ghorus seed in its belly, which, when planted, grows into a healthy duplicate of the original ghoran. After a few weeks, the seed sprouts, and the ghoran's consciousness is transferred to the new body, leaving its old body a mindless corpse.

Ghorans arose from plant life created by advanced druidic magic to be a particularly hardy and adaptive food source for humans. They were created as delicacies, with every part of the ghoran except the Ghorus seed being delicious and nourishing. Ghorans are defined by their class levels and do not have racial Hit Dice. They have a challenge rating equal to their class level.

Ghorans have the following racial traits:

• +2 Constitution, +2 Charisma, -2 Intelligence: Ghorans are hardy and guileful, but process thoughts slowly.
• +2 Natural Armor: Ghorans have tough, rugged skin.
• Plant: Ghorans have the plant type.
• Delicious: Ghorans take a penalty on Escape Artist and combat maneuver checks to escape a grapple against any creature with a bite attack with the grab ability.
• Natural Magic: Ghorans with a Charisma score of 11 or higher gain the following spell-like abilities: detect poison, goodberry (created berries bud from the ghoran's own body), and purify food and drink.
• Ghorus Seed: Ghorans can expel their ghorus seed, which, when planted in fertile ground, grows into a duplicate of the original ghoran. The original ghoran gains a negative level and dies as soon as its duplicate sprouts.
• Light Dependent: Ghorans take 1d4 points of Constitution damage each day they go without exposure to sunlight.
• Past-Life Knowledge: Ghorans remember memories encoded in their ghorus seed and treat all Knowledge skills as class skills.

Ghorans are biological immortals

Each Ghoran carries a fist-sized Ghorus seed in its belly, and when planted, this seed grows into a new Ghoran in a few weeks. After a Ghoran expels its seed, it gains a negative level and dies as soon as its duplicate sprouts, with its consciousness being transferred to the new body. This process of regeneration makes Ghorans biologically immortal. However, Ghorus, the creator, died with the secret of creating these Ghorus seeds, ensuring that each Ghoran that perishes is lost forever.

Ghorans are friendly to intelligent plants, good fey, elves, and gnomes. They are wary of warlike races and herbivores, including humans, whom they also admire for their creation. They follow the Green Faith or an Eldest and rarely worship humanoid deities. They have no central authority or culture but have a sense of the species as a whole.

Ghorans are defined by their class levels and do not have racial hit points. They possess traits such as natural magic and past-life knowledge, remembering memories encoded in their Ghorus seeds. They are also light-dependent, requiring exposure to sunlight to avoid taking Constitution damage.
