The O’dai are a group of spiritual beings that are from the Desert Isle on Tsuchi. They once were regular humans and dwarves, but after “The Pilgrimage”, they were transformed. The humans grew an extra set of arms and an intense strength. The dwarves grew a set of wings, enabling them to easily carry heavy objects to heights. Lore claims that the transformation was to help them build a defense for the Great Pyramid that overlooks their main city of Lour’thie. All of the O’dai are spiritual beings who follow the teachings of the Goddess of Redemption, Astharia. There is no such thing as an outcast, so the only reason that one of the O’dai would leave their homeland is if a vision was granted to them.

A sense of community is extremely important to the O’dai. More importantly, though is their concept of redemption. If any of them perceive that they have done something wrong, they set themselves to a task that will redeem them.

The O’dai can be: Fighters, Rangers, Paladins, Mages, Scroll Mages, Priests, or Bards. They cannot be rogues, druids, or play a chaotic class.

Over the years, they’ve developed into fearsome warriors. In their history, they have been invaded by war three times. Every time, they have pushed the enemies back. The final of those three, none were left standing.

Players that choose O’dai for their characters have 50 points to spend on racial abilities. These points can be spent to customize an O’dai from the general skill list below, or they can be use to purchase a sub race skill package. Only 5 points can be retained for use later in the character creation project.

Grent O’dai (40 character points)

These O’dai were once human and now have been given an extra set of arms and immense strength. They are generally slow runners, but receive aid from the Giant Scorpions they train as mounts.

Prao O’dai (40 character points)

These O’dai were once dwarves and have now been given wings and intense stamina. They are quick to move through the air, but slow on ground.

A character with leftover character points may select additional racial abilities after taking one of the standard sub race packages.
