Alternate Racial Traits
Evasive Maneuvers Movement Racial Traits Replaces darkvision, slapping-tail-2
Coastal wyvarans often take to the air to defend their territory from intruding ships, and are forced to learn aerial maneuvers to avoid siege fire. They fly with an average maneuverability instead of clumsy, and they gain a +2 dodge bonus to AC and on Reflex saving throws against siege weapons. This racial trait replaces darkvision and slapping tail.
Memories of the Forgotten Feat and Skill Racial Traits Replaces fly-wyvaran
Generations of wyvaran elders pass down tales that predate written history. While many ignore these or dismiss them as simple stories, others revere the lore of their elders. These wyvarans consider it their sacred duty to study the lost histories and pass them down to others. They gain a +2 racial bonus on two Knowledge skills of their choice. Those Knowledge skills are class skills for them. This racial trait replaces flight.
Vestigial Wings Movement Racial Traits 2 RP Replaces fly-wyvaran
Prerequisites: None; Benefit: Members of this race have wings that do not provide the lift required for actual flight, but do have enough power to aid flight attained by some other method, and grant a +4 racial bonus on Fly checks.
Neglected Heritage Language Racial Traits
Because of their dwindling population and cultural stagnation, some wyvarans have given up on their people, favoring a life among other races instead. These wyvarans lose Draconic as a starting language, but gain a +1 racial bonus on Diplomacy checks when making requests and gathering information. They can't take Draconic as a bonus language, but can learn it normally with Linguistics. This ability alters the wyvaran's languages.
Greed (Wyvaran) Feat and Skill Racial Traits Replaces slapping-tail-2
Most wyvarans crave treasure, but for some, amassing wealth is a compulsion. Wyvarans with this trait gain a +2 on racial bonus on Appraise checks, and Appraise is a class skill for them. They gain a +2 racial bonus on Sleight of Hand checks when attempting to take items from other creatures. They can also use their tails to attempt these Sleight of Hand checks. This racial trait replaces slapping tail.
