Rakshasa

[Trailfoot]

I can't really see a good way to fluff a rakshasa PC, but the Deva background has me full of ideas for Rakshasa foes, and thus I need a race template a la the ones in the Monster Manual. Here's my thoughts so far:

Rakshasa
Racial Traits:
Average Height: 5'8"-6'3"
Average Weight: 140-210 lbs

Ability Scores: +2 Dex, +2 Cha
Size: Medium
Speed: 7 squares
Vision: Low-light

Languages: Common, Supernal
Skill Bonuses: +2 Bluff, +2 Arcana
Fierce Claws: Your unarmed strikes do 1d6 damage
Beguiling Illusion: You can use Beguiling Illusion as a daily power.

Beguiling Illusion
You assault your target's mind, causing them to see you as an ally.
Daily * Illusion, Psychic
Standard Action, Ranged 10
Target: One creature
Attack: Int, Wis, or Cha +2 vs. Will.
Hit: The target's powers treat you as an ally (save ends).
Increase to Int, Wis, or Cha +4 at level 11 and Int, Wis, or Cha +6 at level 21.



What do you guys think? I know a daily power for a race is a bit unorthodox.

I think it works. If it were a PC race, it might be an issue, but as an NPC race it definitely fits.

For a monster template it works, but I would remove the supernal language and replace it with one extra language if you were going to let people take it as a player race.

If you want I could put up my Ravaasta writeup as an option? It needs some work to differentiate it a bit from the gnome though.
