Heart-Reachers (3.5e Race)
Personality
They are very distant from everyone, almost like they don't belong. They use about three hours of their day for training, split evenly between a physical work out and a mental work out.
Physical Description
They stand between 5'6" and 7'2" tall, weigh from 140 to 300 lbs, and they always have one blue eye and one green eye. Their skin color ranges from pale white to walnut brown, and even a few metallic colors. Each heart-reacher has a five inch scar above his dominant eye.
Relations
They just have a sense about them that makes them well liked, but they especialy get along with elves, dwarves, and drow.
Alignment
Heart-reachers are almost always lawful. A deep sense of order runs through them, even if they feel destructive urges.
Lands
Tropical climates are their favored habitat, but they can live in temperate as well as northern climates as well.
Religion
They worship lawful deities. Among these, they commonly worship Heironeous, Hextor. Some heart-reachers choose to not pay homage to deities.
Language
They speak Common, but can talk to any being by reaching out with their Heart Reach ability.
Names
Their names are whatever they wish them to be once they reach adulthood at 30 years of age. Until then, their parents either call them G, N, or E.

- Heart-Reach (Ex): Once per round, a heart-reacher may make a touch attack against an adjacent target. If the touch succeeds, the heart-reacher must make a Will save DC 10+HD of target. If he succeeds, he can reach out to that creature and feel its emotions and comunicate with the creature for 24 hours, as a free action. If the heart-reacher fails the save he is dazed for 1 + target's Intelligence modifier rounds (minimum of 1 round). The heart-reacher can have 1 contact per every 4 HD. If he has a familiar/mount/animal companion, he automatically gains them as connections and do not count against his total.
