The spirits are nice, but they are kinda bland. I really like the fact that my campaign has different political factions (The Outcasts, Order of Naffehael, The Sunfall Warriors are the big ones) and they are all against each other. I might do that or maybe I'll do something else. Who knows.

Antediluvian creatures scare me.

Also, consider adding some fluff to the antediluvian template.  I, for one, would be interested in learning what it is (story-wise) that makes antediluvian creatures so powerful.  Are they powerful because they are very old, or were all creature from long ago more powerful than most modern creatures?

I'm with Meepo. The Antidiluvian creature template is terrifying, and you hinted you could have a Paragon Antidiluvian creature...good merciful Pelor, spare us!!!

Flavor for them would be nice, as Meepo said. The mechanics look fair, if godly frightening, and the CR adjustment seems accurate for them..

I'll probaboly be writing some stuff for them soon but till then you'll just have to wait. I've made up a normal antediluvian sheet (where is it?) and I should correct myself saying that it is BASED off of the paragon template.

And hell yes, they're scary. Their power comes from the fact that their almsot extinct and in hibernation. I'll put in more about it.
Eats brains here! Ugh!

History of the Antediluvians

The word 'Antediluvians' on the continent of Golia is a reference to the ancient people who lived in Golia before the Golian settlers came and named it Golia. According to history, there was really only one race of people -now refered to as 'The Grand Elders'- and the offshots of their kind. There were many different creatures living on the lands during the time of the antediluvians, but this was also due to the Grand Elders.

The Grand Elders -and later on, all the Antediluvians- were masters of evolution. Through selective processes, magical arts, and various other technological advances, the Grand Elders had made their visions come true: A perfect race. The Grand Elders were skilled in all arts, had excellent learning capacites, and made their bodies perfect. However, with the race at its peak potential, it was only possible for their race to decline. Their absence of new ideas and no possible further gains threatened their very existence. Wars and famine streamed across the Grand Elders' lands and almost brought their civilization to an end.  The solution became clear: to create a new race, in their image, to mix in with the Grand Elders and to diversify their people. Through their expert engineering, the Grand Elders made a new race to suit their needs: The Ahaen.  

Some cultural-evolutionary references need to be cleared up before we go on, however. The Ahaen back then are quite different then what are commonly refered to as Ahean now. Although they display the same outward physical characteristics as the first Ahaens, the Ahaen of the current age are nothing like the Antediluvian Ahaen in both a physiological and ethical sense. The Ahaen of the current age were engineered carefully to evolve over the period of time when the Grand Elders created them. The Antediluvian Ahaen is another story.

The Antediluvian Ahaen were the lower class people in the antediluvian world. While the Grand Elders thrived off of their work, the Ahaen saw it troublesome that the Grand Elders kept these gains to themselves. The Antediluvian Ahaen -very much born in the image of their creators- developed their own evolutionatory process and started to become more like the Grand Elders. When the two races crossed in an uproar of the power conflict, new and terrible forces were created. These forces -which historians still have little information about- brought both races to a downfall. The Grand Elders and the Antediluvian Ahaen nearly became extinct through this time and both sides retired into the bowels of the earth, never to be heard from again.

On thing historians do know is that the Grand Elders developed a series of races after their downfall, and set them on the lands without their influence so they would not crave the power that the Grand Elders. These races were the beginnings of what kinds of people and monsters inhabit Golia today. All the races were implanted with the Ahaen evolutionary code, but very few stems of it have survived till today.

What the historians are curious about is what purpose will the new and slowly evoled Ahaen have for this world? The Ahean today live in the deserts of Kacerno, which in turn, is theorized to be the birthplace of the Antediluvians. They lead out a simple life -interestingly enough, without any racism towards them- and many are quite oblivous as to the importance of their origins. Ahean today can be characterized through their large ears, small blackened eyes, and their rough brown skin. Only the future knows what holds for the destinies of these people.
