![]() This is an unfortunate oversimplification. However, whether the individual's destructive energies are directed against good, evil or both indiscriminately appears to be his or her own choice.īecause all Ifrits are violent, and many are evil, they are widely feared. Some philosophers say that an Ifrit is naturally inclined towards destruction, and is innately better suited to slaying and hindering than healing and helping. Their natures are intrinsically passionate an Ifrit is the most ardent of lovers, the most loyal of friends, and the most relentless of enemies. It is most unhealthy to deliberately insult even the most high-minded of Ifrits. PsychologyĪll Ifrits share a strong ego, a fiery temperament and an unquellably mercurial nature. They have the disadvantages Bad Temper (-10 points), Lecherousness (-15 points), Overconfidence (-10 points), Reputation -3 on the average (-15 points). ![]() They have the advantages Extended Lifespan (5 points), Magical Aptitude (15 points), Night Vision (10 points) and Winged Flight: Small Wings (35 points). ![]() Ifrits get a +2 each to ST, DX, IQ and HT (20 points each for a total of 80 points). Some individuals are also said to have barbed tails, cloven hooves and other diabolical accouterments, but this may just be a tall tale. They are distinguished by their small horns, distinctly pointed canine teeth, and small wings (typical wingspan: 4 or 5 feet) which they can fold across their back so they make hardly a bulge under clothing. This extra weight is mostly in the wings and muscles – Ifrits are usually slender. Ifrits have normal height for their ST without the racial ST bonus, and normal weight for their ST with the racial bonus. They can have the features and coloration of any human race, and their appearance is usually attractive and healthy (although a small minority are monstrously deformed). Some whisper that they are demonic others say they are simply a very strange type of human. But the Ifrits were too good not to publish, so here they are! This presentation, with general information, campaign information and a sample character, follows exactly the same format as the actual Fantasy Folk book. This race was designed for the new GURPS Fantasy Folk, but we ran out of room in the book. Once Belah'dia, and now Uld'ah, the lizard-like beastmen will make a foe of any who infringe opon the blasted territory they believe kissed by the holy flames of their god.Roleplayer #20, June 1990 Ifrits A New PC Race for Fantasy or SF Games Known in the present day as Zanr'ak, the place where Ifrit is said to have blessed the Amalj'aa ancestors has been a site of enduring conflict down through the centuries. It is told that the tribes ranged far and wide, and ruled all that walked or crawled upon the land. Seven males and seven females there were, and from their joining were born seven tribes. This sacred fire took purchase in the lizards' souls, burning away frailty and weakness, and from the ashes of their transformation stepped the first warriors of the Amalj'aa. But there was one race of great lizards whose ferocity so pleased the Lord of the Inferno that he bequeathed unto them flickering motes shared from his own primordial flame. The world he spawned was filled with beasts bereft of reason or intellect, each fighting an endless, mindless battle for survival. The creation myth of the Amalj'aa holds that, in the beginning, there was only Ifrit. Scholars speculate that the rampaging Ifrit and his inexhaustible wrath is the concentrated spiritual fervor made manifest. When the Amalj'aa summoned the Lord of the Inferno, their ritual prayers were suffused with a fanatical desire to crush the forces of Uld'ah and reclaim their holy lands. His blistering talons turn iron to slag, His smoldering horns char the heavens, and those who oppose His all-consuming rage perish screaming in a hell of primal fire. A demon wreathed in ever-shrieking flames, Ifrit's breath sears with furnace heat. Gather round, now, and learn you of the fiery god of the Amalj'aa. Ifrit is also a server in the Japanese Gaia Data Center.
