Subrosians
Subrosians are found in Subrosia, a volcanic
underworld lighted by the glow of lava and
forges. They are immune to extreme heat and
live off lava and molten metal. Despite the heat,
all features but their large eyes are hidden by
long, thick, hooded cloaks of varying colors (red,
green and blue being the most prevalent), but
they can be identified by the small items they
often wear or carry outside their cloaks: bows,
bandanas, aprons, etc.
Subrosians enjoy games almost as much as
Gorons do, and, when not found playing, they
pursue a number of craft-orientated professions
involving heat and metal.
Subrosian Racial Traits
• +2 Intelligence, -2 Charisma: Subrosians
are gifted in the intellectual art of
artisanship, but are both naïve and shy of
the outside world.
• Small: Subrosians gain a +1 size bonus
to both Defense and attack rolls and a +4
size bonus on Hide checks, but they must
use smaller weapons than medium-sized
creatures, and their lifting and carrying
limits are three-quarters those of
medium-sized creatures.
• Subrosian base speed is 30 ft.
• +1 racial bonus to defense. You lose this
bonus anytime you would lose your
Dexterity bonus to Defense.
• Immunity to Fire: Lava and Molten
Metal are the subrosian's natural diet.
• Low-light Vision: Subrosians can see
twice as far as normal in moonlight,
torchlight, candlelight and other similar
lighting conditions as normal. They retain
the ability to distinguish color and detail
under these conditions.
• +2 racial bonus on Craft and Appraise
checks involving metal: Subrosians
possess a natural understanding of metals
and alloys.
• Metalvore: Subrosians eat metal, getting
the most nutrition from refined metals
such as steel. They mostly get by on iron,
which provide them with most of their
needed nutrients. Silver and gold are like
candy to them; metals that are more
common are about as nutritious as a
common or poor meal for a humanoid.
• Automatic Languages: Subrosian and
Hylian.
• Bonus Languages: Any.
• Favored Class: Artisan. A multiclass
subrosian’s artisan class levels do not
count when determining if the character
takes an experience point penalty (see
the Player’s Handbook, page 60 for
multiclassing).
• Favored Aspect: Fire.
• Opposed Aspect: Shadow.
