Pumpkinheads

Standard power level

Plant (10 RP) Medium (0 RP) Low Speed (-1 RP)

Standard Ability Score Modifiers (0 RP) Dexterity +2 Constitution +2 Charisma -2

Standard Language Quality (0 RP) Low-Light Vision (1 RP) Cold Vulnerability (-2 RP) Fearless (1 RP) Glow (1 RP)

=========

Plant (10 RP)

This type encompasses humanoid-shaped vegetable creatures. Note that regular plants, such as those found in ordinary gardens and fields, lack Wisdom and Charisma scores and are not creatures, but objects, even though they are alive. A plant race has the following features.

Plants have the low-light vision racial trait. Plants are immune to all mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, morale effects, patterns, and phantasms). Plants are immune to paralysis, poison, polymorph, sleep effects, and stunning. Plants breathe and eat, but do not sleep, unless they want to gain some beneficial effect from this activity. This means that a plant creature can sleep in order to regain spells, but sleep is not required to survive or stay in good health.

Low-Light Vision (1 RP): Prerequisites: None; Benefit: Members of this race can see twice as far as a race with normal vision in conditions of dim light.

Cold Vulnerability (-2 RP): Prerequisites: Plant; Weakness: When exposed to Winter weather conditions for at least an hour, Strength checks are halved.

Fearless (1 RP): Prerequisites: None; Benefit: Members of this race gain a +2 racial bonus on all saving throws against fear effects. Special: This bonus stacks with the bonus granted by the lucky (greater or lesser) racial trait.

Glow (1 RP): Prerequisites: Pumpkinhead; Benefit: Members of this race create a 10 foot area of dim light around them in the dark.

-Where does your race tend to live and why?

Pumpkinheads hail from the Autumn kingdom. They are not a particularly widespread race, preferring to stick to the temperate (between low 70s and low 40s with minimal snow and rain fall) forests and plains of the Autumn kingdom. While other races may struggle with the inability to grow many crops due to the climate, Pumpkinheads, being plants, can survive easily on what they can grow and forage in addition to their own pumpkin livestock. While they can process meat and dairy, Pumpkinheads prefer bones and blood to gain such nutrients.

It's only been within the past 30 years that Pumpkinheads have begun to travel and immigrate outside of the Autumn kingdom. They're still a rare sight outside the strip of land on the south side of the Darkwoods Mountains that comprises the Autumn kingdom.

-What does your race look like? How does the members' appearance help them adapt to their typical environment?

Pumpkinheads avoid traveling to much cooler temperatures due to being plant life. When temperatures become too cold, they will wither and enter a temporary hibernation state until warmed up. While they can die in this state, it would take many months of intense cold for the body to finally die. They dislike intense heat, but they can weather it better with additional water.

Pumpkinfolk possess magic, specifically the ability to trans-mutate other pumpkins. This is the origin of their pumpkin livestock, and how they reproduce. Pumpkinhead reproduction requires two Pumpkinheads and three plain pumpkins. One of these will need to be carved with a face, one will become the torso, and the other will be used to create the vines that form a Pumpkinfolk's limbs.

Pumpkinheads start life as the equivalent of a young human child, and age rapidly after creation. They reach physical adulthood after about 3 years, and their age of majority is 5. Pumpkinheads live for about 20 years after creation. An elderly Pumpkinhead will be softer as they near the end of their life. You can tell a Pumpkinfolk has died as the vines that form their limbs will shrivel up and fall from the pumpkins that form their body.

Pumpkinheads notably glow with dim light from inside their faces in darkness.

-What is your race's history? Does it have a creation myth? Were there pivotal events in the race's history?

The exact creation of Pumpkinheads can actually be tracked to the day. Originally, they were created by a powerful witch, Lavinia, who followed the teachings of Baba Yaga seeking to live unbothered while she attempted to gain greater powers. In order to deter those who would seek to destroy her, she created pumpkin golems to serve as her own private army. Settlements of the Autumn kingdom reported sightings of these pumpkins in the distance. Whether the witch was slain or simply moved on from the Autumn kingdom is lost to Pumpkinhead kind. Whatever happened, these golems were left behind. Left unchecked, the magic grew within the golems as they slowly gained their own sentience. Slowly, they began to form their own settlements.

Pumpkinheads today are recognized as a native race of the Autumn kingdom. They are one of only three races recognized as such (Strangelings (Catfolk, Batfolk, Ratfolk), Boogeymen, and Pumpkinheads).

The most famous Pumpkinhead was a Medium, Mosch Ambercup, who was often consulted by heros seeking to quest in the Darkwoods Mountains beyond the Autumn kingdom. Most notably, he foretold of an undead army attempting to march on Aureas from beyond the mountains in an attempt to seize a priceless artifact housed there: the awakened cauldron, Elias, used by the Pumpkinfolk and visitors alike to enhance potions. Thanks to this forewarning, the Pumpkinheads were able to send for help from nearby Strangeling and Human settlements and defeat the undead hordes. It was a difficult battle, many lives were lost, and over half of Aureas and several Pumpkinhead and Strangeling villages in the warpath were burned down. Mosch gained notoriety as a prophet, at which point, he disappeared, possibly captured, possibly dead, possibly just hiding in the mountains to avoid the pressure of being a celebrated prophet.

-What kinds of relationships does your race have with other races? Does it have allies? Competitors? Enemies? Hated foes?

Pumpkinheads are a non-confrontational race despite their origins. They tend to keep good relations with other races for trading purposes. They have very little contact with non native races aside from humans, who have settlements towards the outskirts of the Autumn kingdom. Their largest settlement is a Pumpkinhead city, Aureas, to the Northern part of the Aumun kingdom. Certain villages have had trouble with feral Strangelings or aggressive humans, but these are not widespread problems.

Following the Darkwoods Raid, the Pumpkinfolk, Strangelings, and a few Human settlements forged a loose government, the Golden Council, comprised of the leaders, or other representatives, of the various villages that meet yearly.

-What classes does your race tend to favor?

Pumpkinfolk tend to favor fighter and ranger with a smaller population of wizards, clerics, and gunslingers. There are a few notable alchemists, specifically in Aureas.

like ‘this media is about X but i am analyzing it in the context of Y’ is both interesting and normal. ‘this media is about X but i don’t know very much about that so i am not going to think about it’ is also completely normal, especially in a casual environment. i think it is utterly absurd when people expect western fans to understand complex historical context to watch cartoons & in fact the insistence that one must do so is often quite performative and orientalist. it’s almost always non-japanese people who take up this mantle and it often comes with the unspoken implication that the japanese people are a different class of human beings who cannot be understood without academic study. most anime makes sense without any knowledge whatsoever of japanese culture — like yes you are probably missing some context but that’s true about all media outside your direct realm of experience. (also i rarely see people saying the the same thing about western countries, even though cultures also vary dramatically across them.) what IS an issue is the refusal to take japanese media seriously or to recognize that it is rooted in human experience. it’s a lack of respect for japanese authors and artists and a refusal to take them seriously as adults who care about their craft and who incorporate their lives into their work. a failure to recognize cultural context is ofc a part of this but it’s just symptomatic of a larger problem. a lack of knowledge isn’t inherently harmful and acquriing more knowledge is not a solution.

talking to friends about The Horrors, specifically the Trumpian Horrors, and, like

the more I consider it, the more I think that the best thing we outside the US can do - for ourselves, for the world, and for America as well - is to just holler to the fucking rooftops that AMERICA IS NOT THE WORLD.

By which I mean:

we do not let politicians, media, and our own social circles convince us that American issues are the only issues worth discussing;

we challenge politicians, media, and our own social circles on the politics of appeasement;

we challenge ourselves on the assumption that laws passed in the US affect us directly, and we do not place ourselves in American shoes;

we focus on our own shit. Not because it's more important, but because we need to remember that it still exists. Our eyes cannot be on the USA while the legislative and political rights in our own countries are eroded from under us.

we look to the rest of the world. We get used to viewing people who don't look like us, talk like us, or even like us as an equal and crucial part of the political landscape.

WE ARE LOUD ABOUT THIS. In politics, in activism, in social contexts, in our own assessment of our own politics, we remember and hold up that America is NOT the centre of the world, and that American hegemony is NOT inevitable.

This is not because I'm trying to undermine American struggles. This is because the Trump administration is strengthened and bolstered by every other country that chooses to suck the cock of American supremacy in the desperate attempt to maintain the last remnants of the old imperial order.

It is up to everyone in the world to challenge that, and to say: yeah, this fucking sucks, and we want America to be better, but we don't need America.

There are other markets. There are other allies and potential allies. There are other global powers (Personally I think we should try to dismantle global powers entirely, but, you know, one battle at a time) and there are other political shifts.

So much of the current rightward swing in the UK, at least, is directly modelled on MAGA to the point that it's the same movement, to the point where the branches of that movement feed power and influence to one another. You know what has consistently been one of the more successful tactics? Fucking reminding people that they are not, in fact, offering solutions to the problems Britain faces, because these are American solutions and we are not America.

idk it feels stupid to say this. it feels stupid to have to point out that Not Everywhere Is America, and it feels even stupider to think that this is something that needs pointing out to the systems of power. But the more I think about it, the surer I am that one of the tentpoles of American power, and therefore of Trump's power (in the US as well as beyond it!) is just... the willingness of so much of the world to say: yeah, sure, everything is America.

WE ARE NOT AMERICA.

AMERICA DOES NOT HAVE TO CONTROL US.

idk. maybe it won't change shit. but maybe yelling that at international power structures loudly enough - making noise about issues that are not American, focusing our efforts outside America, challenging American supremacy on the global stage - is, in fact, the most useful thing we can do.

telling random people that they probably have to shampoo their hair less than they think is a thankless job that no one listens to me for but someone must be a prophet that walks the earth
