Homebrew Amil Species Details

The Amil people were once the human kingdom of Mil set within the Ferrago Mountains that were enslaved by the Oldkin, an ancient and powerful precursor to the dragons who held great psionic ability that they used to dominate minds into subjugation. Known as the Dragon Plague, when the Oldkin ravaged the states and societies of the Katon Peninsula, the humans of Mil were the first enslaved and after centuries of subjugation were the first to break free. Now physically changed through the years amongst the Oldkin, the once humans were something new, resettling the mountains and taking the name of the Amil. 

The Amil are taller in stature than humans, ranging on average from 5'10" to 6'3" with a skin that upon closer examination is a patchwork of scales that ranges from all the hues of the dragons. Their hair is generally white or black and worn either cut relatively short or long and arranged in elaborate updos. A critical component of Amil culture is the head band known as a Akrapsyke that is a cultural hallmark of their protection from psionic and mental effects. 

 

Amil Traits

The Amil are especially hardy and nigh immune to mental effects

Mental Fortress

Any spell or effect that directly mentally effects the Amil(magically charmed, frightened, magical sleep, etc.) are rendered useless against an Amil who wears their Akrapsyke. Psychic damage is reduced and the Amil automatically succeed saving throws against psychic damage or mental effects

Forged in Bondage

The Amil are extraordinarily hardy, having been pressed into centuries of hard toil and so adapted to the harsh living conditions of extreme slavery carrying heavy loads and living on the verge of death. The Amil have +2 to Endurance and have a carrying capacity of a creature one size larger than themselves
