Na'vi
Summary::A rather tall race, lithe and limber; live in the jungles. They have a special Bond to nature, especially to the animals.
Personality
The Na'vi are natural hunters. Their silence betrays their size as they stalk their prey with a hardened determination. When they finally do catch their prey, they thank the animal and pray for it. They bring their hunt back to the tribe and celebrate a successful hunt. They celebrate by singing tribal songs that glorify their legends, gods, and their thanksgiving. The Na'vi have a great love and respect for animals and Nature, to the point where they'd kill anyone for trying to cut down a tree nearby. Most of the time they'll ask you why you invaded their territory before shooting you down with a bow and arrow.
Physical Description
They are humanoid in appearance and are 9 to 12 feet tall, having pairs of eyes, ears, arms, and legs like humans, as well as a nose, a mouth, and expressions recognizable to humans. The Na'vi differ from humans in having blue striped skin, pointed and mobile ears, large eyes, catlike noses and teeth, tails, and four fingers. While taller than humans, they have narrower proportions in body frame. The Na'vi also have a distinctive tendril feature protruding from the back of their heads, surrounded by hair (resembling a long braid), feeding directly into the brain. This organ, known as a queue, allows them to connect with the biology around them, transferring electrochemical signals such as thoughts and memories to the trees, plants, and other creatures.
Relations
They are what many cityfolk consider savage, flea-bitten blue monkeys. Tribes in the jungle consider them to be efficient and effective hunters. They are often hostile to any who would harm Nature. As such they do not get along well with other races; unless the other race has proven themselves in some way to gain the Na'vi's respect.
Alignment
Often Neutral due to their strong Bond with nature and their natural will to protect it.
Lands
Often, but not always, they make make their homes in the jungles. They don't actually build a house or hut they often turn a tree into their home sleeping on a branch or something.
Language
The Na'vi can speak common with a some-what thick accent. They also speak the Language of the wild; Sylvan. The Language they speak most often though is their own; Na'vi.
Names
The Na'vi are given names at birth and may earn a second name, often describing their talent, after passing their birthright. Males: Tsu'Tey, Eytucan, Eyktan, Akwey, etc. Female: Neytiri, Mo'at, etc.

- Skill Bonus: +4 Hide, +2 Listen, and +2 Spot checks; As hunters they are naturally aware of their surroundings and also aware of how to hide themselves efficiently
- Tsahaylu (Su): also known as The Bond, allows the Na'vi to connect their mind to any plants or animals (this includes: Magical Beasts and Vermin) and communicate with it. Verbal communication is understood by the plant or animal, an example is when a Na'vi is bonded to a Giant Eagle and verbally commands it to dive, the Giant Eagle will understand the command because the Na'vi thought it as well. The Na'vi form Tsahaylu through their long hair braid; which is actually more like a bunch of feelers surrounded and protected by their hair. Forming Tsahaylu is a Standard Action and it requires the creature the Na'vi is bonding with to make a Will Save to resist the Bond based on a DC of 10 + Na'vi's Total HD/2 + Na'vi's Wisdom modifier. The Bond gives the Na'vi a +10 bonus on Handle Animal/ Wild Empathy checks and a +10 to Ride checks after Tsahaylu is made (note: the Na'vi can use their Wisdom modifier instead of their Charisma modifier on Handle Animal and Wild Empathy checks). If the Na'vi has a Mount or a Animal Companion that can be ridden, then the Na'vi may form Tsahaylu as a Move Action and there is no need for a Will Save to be made. While riding the Mount/ Animal Companion the Na'vi is able to guide the mount with out their hands, this allows the Na'vi to use their weapons while hunting a fast prey. In the case of plants; the plants may act as a storage device for the memories, history, and even the culture of the Na'vi. If the plant is aware then it may choose to reject the Bond by making a Will Save based on a DC of 10 + Na'vi's Total HD/2 + Na'vi's Wisdom modifier. Also if the plant is aware then it also gains the memories and remembers them. If the plant isn't aware then it just contains the memories.
