Editing Killoren (section)

==Roleplaying a Killoren==
With the power of nature forever bonded to their souls, killoren characters have both the enigmatic outlook of the fey and the inquisitive drive of the humanoid races. This unique outlook, combined with the unusual ability to manifest different aspects of nature’s own power, makes killoren a challenge to roleplay. When roleplaying a killoren, you must make the reverence of nature a subtle yet ever-present aspect of your personality without overdoing it, and you must be ready to express markedly different aspects of your character’s personality depending on which aspect of nature you choose to manifest each day.

'''Personality:''' Killoren have an innate connection to nature’s power; as such, the natural world and its best interests are never far from their thoughts. Killoren also differ from other races in that they have three different aspects of their personality that correspond with their ability to manifest different aspects of nature’s might. Killoren who manifest the destroyer aspect are arrogant and aggressive, those who manifest the aspect of the hunter are stealthy and subtle, and those who manifest the aspect of the ancient think carefully and look deep into the heart of a matter before voicing their thoughts.
::''Roleplaying Application:'' Make the most of the different aspects of nature that you manifest by accentuating the changes in your character’s personality with each change. Don’t overdo it—this ability is not a case of three separate personalities. Rather, it’s an opportunity to build multiple aspects of one character. The best way to do this is to make a short list of common sayings or expression your character uses and then change the tone and delivery depending on the aspect that your character is manifesting.

'''Behaviors:''' Just as their personality changes slightly when they manifest a different aspect, the behaviors of individual killoren change slightly depending on the aspect that they are manifesting.
::''Roleplaying Application:'' The best way to reinforce the differences between the aspects of nature that your character manifests is with body language. Sit forward in your chair and speak a little bit louder when manifesting the aspect of the destroyer; sit back and think before speaking when manifesting the aspect of the ancient; and make quick, darting movements when manifesting the aspect of the hunter. Develop one or two obvious idiosyncrasies that only surface when your character is manifesting a specific aspect.

'''Language:''' Killoren make a great effort to speak as those around them speak. Learning the speaking styles as well as the language of the humanoids they are with gives them greater insight into the culture and attitudes of their friends.
::''Roleplaying Application:'' Make it a point to pick up on the sayings and speaking rhythms of those you are with. This includes notable NPCs as well as your fellow player characters. Don’t go so far as to mimic anyone; that is not the killoren way. Rather, pay attention to the way others speak and what they say and try to slip a few sayings of theirs into your own dialogue.
