Oolimen
Dr. Jekyll, you're wanted by the Knights of the Holy Order...
It's Mr. Hyde, now!
for the murder of twelve men, six women, four...
Four children, three goats, and a rather nasty massacre of poultry!
Oolimen skin tones range in a variety of shades though most commonly they are of light, flesh colored tones because of their mountainous environs. Their hair is most commonly brown or black, their eyes following suite. Oolimen wear crudely made clothing crafted from animal hides, the fur commonly left on in patches. Oolimen rarely put much care into their apparel, simply adding on more furs to the putrid ensemble and discarding any that wear out. Full grown Oolimen stand 10 feet tall and weigh about 1,200 pounds. Oolimen can live to be 400 years old but very few individuals ever meet anything but a violent end at a young age.
Though Oolimen are quite adept at long range combat, they rarely choose tactics over the chance to get close and personal with their foes, relishing the visceral brutality of melee. Only when it is quite apparent that they are out numbered or overpowered will they ever resort to ranged combat.
The Oolimen are selfish creatures to the core, caring only for their own personal needs, ambitions and pleasures. They band together in family units not because of normal bonds of love or caring but because they see families and tribes as things to be used for personal advancement and power exertions. Oolimen also understand that while puissant, they are not immortal or the most powerful creatures in the world so there is always safety in numbers.
The origin of the Oolimen is quite unclear, they having appeared at some point just prior to the end of the Great Taming by the gods. They surfaced in the Jaegerback Mountains south of the Haven Zone and spread across the whole range as time passed. The Free People of Haven had no real dealings or encounters with the foul race until four hundred years ago. Gathered together by a mighty and strange chieftain known as Grumlash, every tribe of the Oolimen at the time made war upon the Haven Zone. The conflicts that became known as the Southern War last for thirty years before the forces of Haven managed to find and kill Grumlash. The Oolimen, with their numbers decimated from war and their chieftain killed, were driven back to their mountains where they have remained to this day, fighting amongst themselves while making forays into the highlands and lower plains that the Free People of Haven expanded into following the War.
This somewhat portly giant grins manically at you as a thick purple tongue runs over its sharp teeth. Clawed fingers dig into the hilt of a club, its free hand pulling up the back of its hide pants as it slowly moves forward.

Ghost Eyes (Ex): Oolimen can see things that are invisible to the eyes of most, their vision being a strange combination of seeing infrared, electromagnetic waves and the frequency magical energy operates on. Living creatures as a result give off light that illuminates themselves and the surrounding area around them to the eyes of the Ooliman. Medium creatures give off light out to 60 feet and this doubles or halves for creatures larger or smaller (minimum of 4 feet, maximum 960). This vision follows the same rules as regular sight and spells and effects such as
Invisibility,
Mirror Image or similar do not hide a creature.
Rapid Scarification (Ex): Though Oolimen do not truly heal at a rapid rate they do staunch grievous wounds and other threats to their lives near instantly. Whenever an Ooliman takes damage that deals hit points damage he heals 1d4+1/2 his hit dice hit points. This healing takes place after the damage is assigned but before any negative effects, such as unconsciousness or death, are checked for (For example, if an Ooliman takes 16 points of damage and it would reduce him to -1 hp he would remain conscious and acting normally since he healed 1d4+3 hp before unconsciousness was checked for). An Ooliman can never heal more damage through this ability than was originally dealt (for example if an Ooliman takes 1 point of damage and would heal 5, they only heal the 1 point of damage).
An Ooliman additionally receives a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against any negative effect that was transmitted by the same source of damage it healed from (such as poison or disease), the threat caught in the scarred tissue.
