Racial Profiling
The Advanced Player’s Guide introduced alternate favored class bonuses, which vary from race to race. Instead of choosing an extra skill rank or hit point, certain race/class combinations can gain other bonuses. Necromancers of the Northwest has been hard at work making new player races this year, but one thing we neglected to include was alternate favored class bonuses. Well, worry not: you’ll find such bonuses here for the first four Necromancers of the Northwest races to debut in Exotic Encounters this year in this very article. Enjoy.
