His fingers are tipped with sharp claws, and his legs end in lion’s paws beneath a second set of knees bent backwards. The creature’s wings resemble those of a falcon. He is armed with a spear and clad in light chain armor.
Haplosphinxes like to make an enigma about what they are, although their name already indicates that they are, possibly, some kind of human-sphinx crossbreed. A haplosphinx’ skin is usually of a dark hue, like a human from a subtropical region. Their hair tends to be full and dense and their features indeed retain some cat-like characteristics like their deep mysterious feline eyes, but otherwise are definitely not bestial. Their claws are retractable and do not hinder manual dexterity. Usually proud of their heritage, haplosphinxes have a keen interest for all things mystical and enigmatic, often striving for a role as a reclusive sage or eldritch guardian. Haplosphinxes speak Sphinx, Common and Draconic. CombatHaplosphinxes try to avoid combat as long as possible and, if conflict is inevitable, seek to soften up foes with ranged attacks first, if appropriate weapons are at hand. In melee they prefer to use weapons, but are aware that their claws are a deadly gift. Sometimes they use their augury ability to estimate if entering combat would be sensible. Augury (Sp): Once per day a haplosphinx can use augury as a spell-like ability on a caster level equal to her character level. Rake (Ex): A haplosphinx grappling an opponent can rake with her hind legs two times without suffering a –4 penalty for using natural weapons in a grapple. This rakes have the same base damage as the haplosphinx’ claw attack. Sphinx blood (Ex): For all effects related to a race, a haplosphinx is considered a sphinx. Haplosphinxes are just as vulnerable to special effects that affect sphinxes as their ancestors are, and they can use magic items that are only usable by sphinxes (providing their size allows them to.) Skills: Haplosphinxes gain a +2 racial bonus to any two Knowledge skills.
