Atlanteans mated with the human
slaves they subjugated and
produced offspring. Over time they
have become a true race, though
one that hides from the fear they
inspire. The vast majority of
metamorphs wish to be left alone
and to live their lives. Even so, the
rare individuals who wish to bring
chaos into the world gives the race
an undeserved reputation.
In their natural form they look like a
cross between a human and True
Atlantean. They usually stand no
more than five feet all and are
slender. They are hairless and their
skin is translucent white. The eyes are

featured in AOSEPT, here is a system
from various other games through
the years.
All thief skills
begin with a 1-in-6 chance of
success. This is the chance of success
for all non-thieves.
• At each level the thief gains points
to improve their chance of success

• Each point allocated to a skill
improves the chance of success by
1-in-6.
• Multiple points may be allocated
to a skill, further increasing the
chance of success.
For example, if 2 points are
allocated to a skill, the chance of
success is raised to 3-in-6 (from the
base 1-in-6 chance of success).
• At character creation, a thief has 4
expertise points to allocate.
• A thief gains 2 additional points to
allocate at each new level.
• No skill may be raised above 5-in-6.
