	'''Ghorans''' are a race of sapient humanoid plants native to the world of [[Golarion]], the setting of [[Pathfinder]] 1st edition. Debuting in the Inner Sea Bestiary, they have one of the most fucked-up backstories of any race in Pathfinder. In a nutshell, when the [[Magocracy\|magocracies]] of Geb and Nex went to war, the battle saw the fertile heartlands of Nex being blighted, so ordinary crops wouldn't grow there. To keep his nation from starving, Nex (yes, the nation was named after the archmage running it) commissioned a rogue [[druid]] named Ghorus to invent a new kind of food-crop that could thrive in the blighted landscape. Ghorus created a mobile, semi-sentient plant creature - which he called "Ghorans", after himself - and set them to wander the cursed landscape. Hardy, adaptive and delicious, ghorans became a dietary staple... but also worked ''too well''. Y'see, the magic in the ghorans grew and developed over time, so the race evolved into a fully sapient humanoid species - one that Nexians were still eating on a daily basis, even after their landscape became fertile again!

	==Ghoran Biology==		==Ghoran Biology==
	The typical ghoran stands roughly as tall as a human and occupies a similar silhouette, but that’s where their similarities with humanity end. A ghoran’s “skin” is a complex layer of fibrous vines and rinds with a texture similar to moss-covered bark. Ghoran faces consist of layered petals that flush and flutter at a whim, allowing them to mimic the facial behaviors of their would-be devourers. They do not lack emotion per se, but ghoran “feelings” are primordial and abstract, making them utterly alien to most non-ghorans. A ghoran might laugh, smile, or raise its voice, but their companions seldom understand if these are displays of true emotion or merely more adaptive evolutions designed—like so many other aspects of their physiology—simply to keep them alive.

	Ghorans have considerable control over their mass and can shape their bodies however they wish within the basic confines of a humanoid silhouette; this trait often gives them the impression of rustling about, especially when they are frightened or agitated. Ghorans who deal often with humanoids tend to adopt a masculine or a feminine silhouette based on their preference, but gender remains a fluid and somewhat elusive concept to them—an evolutionary adaptation of more import to the comfort of their companions than to ghorans themselves.

			===Stats===
			:'''Ability Score Modifiers:''' +2 Charisma, -2 Intelligence. Sapling Ghorans add +2 to Dexterity, while Oakling Ghorans add +2 to Constitution and Willowers add +2 to Intelligence
			:'''Type:''' Ghorans are plants. Sapling Ghorans are small plants, while Oakling and Willower Ghorans are medium plants.
			:'''Delicious:''' You take a –2 penalty to attack rolls and Acrobatics checks to escape a grapple against a creature that uses the grab ability with a bite natural weapon.
			:'''Limited Plant Benefits:''' Despite being plant creatures, ghorans don’t gain the standard immunities associated with creatures of the plant type. Instead, they gain a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against mind-affecting effects, paralysis, poison, polymorph, sleep, and stunning effects, unless the effect specifies that it is effective against plants.
			:'''Past-Life Knowledge:''' Choose two skills from the following list: Computers, Culture, Engineering, Life Science, Medicine, Mysticism, Physical Science, and Profession (each Profession chosen separately). The ghoran adds the chosen skills to their list of class skills or gains a +2 racial bonus to checks with those skills if they are already class skills.
			:'''Photosynthesis:''' Ghorans undergo photosynthesis to gain nutrition instead of eating (although they can eat if they so wish). A ghoran can go without light (either sunlight or UV light, such as from starships) for 3 days, after which they must attempt Constitution checks to avoid starvation.

			''Alternate Racial Traits:'''
			*'''Magical Talent:''' Some ghorans inherit magical aptitude from their ancestors. Ghorans with this trait gain a +2 racial bonus to Mysticism checks, and they can use detect magic and psychokinetic hand at will as spell-like abilities. This replaces Past Life Knowledge.
			*'''Psychosynthesis:''' Instead of light, some ghorans’ outer layers are sensitive to thoughts and emotions. Ghorans with this trait gain limited telepathy with a range of 30 feet. Additionally, they can avoid starvation by spending at least 8 total hours a day within 120 feet of a creature that doesn’t have the unliving trait and that has an Intelligence and Wisdom score of at least 10. This replaces Photosynthesis.

	'''Spelleater:''' Ghorans were originally created to survive and thrive in a magic-blasted wasteland, and over the centuries some ghorans have adapted greater abilities to overcome magic in general. Once per day, the ghoran can cast dispel magic as a spell-like ability, with a caster level equal to the ghoran’s character level. If the ghoran’s favored class is a spellcasting class, the ghoran gains a +2 racial bonus on dispel checks (Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook 272).
