Editing Etherscope (section)

===Fey===
Finally, the only truly non-human race in the Etherscope world are the '''Fey'''. No, these are not the [[fey]] you're thinking of, but instead an offshoot homo sapiens subrace who diverged from the ancestral line of apes at an earlier point that humans did. They once ruled over the lost nation of Lemuria, which built itself to glory on the basis of its magic - and was then destroyed by its magic due to the denizens of Hell coming a'calling for their debt. Ever since then, the race has hidden itself amongst humanity, and the vast majority of humans has no idea that this elder cousin race walks in secrecy amongst them.

Fey appear human. Their skin and hair are pale, and their eyes are often green, hazel, or dark blue. They are tall and slender, but not outside the norms of humanity. Their features are fine and pointed, with narrow noses, slightly narrowed eyes, and small, squared-off ears. Their true anatomical differences are hidden beneath the skin; the internal organs, blood vessels and other subtle components of their anatomy are very diffferent to those of humans, especially when their brains are compared. This can have life-threatening complications when surgery is required if a non-fey doctor is the only available option.

::Non-Human: Fey do not gain a bonus feat at 1st level, reduce their 1st level skill points by -4, and reduce all skill point gains from then on by -1.
::Ability Score Modifiers: +2 Dexterity, +2 Intelligence, -2 Strength, -2 Wisdom
::Unearthly Beauty: +4 racial bonus on Bluff and Diplomacy Checks.
::Ethersence: By touching a target item or person and spending 1 Excellence point, a fey can make a Wisdom check with their character level as a bonus to the roll. If they beat DC 15, they learn whether the object of their scrutiny has ethertech components. If they beat DC 20, they learn whether a target character is using occult powers during that round. If they beat DC 30, they gain a limited understanding about what the purposes of the power or item is.
::Scope Familiar: When a Fey enters the Etherscope artificial reality, they gain the presence of a [[Familiar]].
::Unusual Anatomy: Non-fey suffer a -4 penalty on Knowledge (Medicine) checks made to perform surgery on fey.
