Poppet Heritages
Source Core Rulebook pg. 33 2.0
You select a heritage at 1st level to reflect abilities passed down to you from your ancestors or common among those of your ancestry in the environment where you were born or grew up. You have only one heritage and can’t change it later. A heritage is not the same as a culture or ethnicity, though some cultures or ethnicities might have more or fewer members from a particular heritage.
Ghost PoppetSource Grand Bazaar pg. 62You awakened when a bit of another person's life force and a fragment of their soul—possibly, but not always, at the moment of their death—found its way into your constructed body. You don't remember anything more than vague flashes of your “before life,” but that life essence still protects you. You gain resistance to
negative damage equal to half your level (minimum 1).
Source Grand Bazaar pg. 62You have little inside you other than cotton, sawdust, or dried leaves. You take no damage from falling, regardless of the distance you fall.
Feats Requiring Stuffed Poppet...
Nothing but FluffSource Grand Bazaar pg. 63You have the form of a child's tiny toy or doll, but you don't let your small size impede your joy of life. Instead of Small, your size is Tiny. Like other Tiny creatures, you don't automatically receive lesser cover from being in a larger creature's space, but circumstances might allow you to
Take Cover. You can purchase weapons, armor, and other items for your size with the same statistics as normal gear, except that melee weapons have a reach of 0 for you (or a reach 5 feet shorter than normal if they have the reach trait). You can enter another creature's space, which is important because you must usually enter a creature's space to attack it with melee Strikes! Remember to
adjust the Bulk of items and your Bulk limit for Tiny size. The information on how to handle Tiny PCs, including rules for attempting to ride on other characters, appears
here.
Source Grand Bazaar pg. 63You're made primarily of soft metals, such as tin or silver, and your life force dwells within an exceptional array of clockworks deep in your body. Provided you wind metal tabs on your body a few times each day, you don't need food or water to survive. You must still breathe to ventilate your internal mechanisms and sleep to give your mechanisms rest, just like other poppets.
Source Grand Bazaar pg. 63You were wished to life, either by a powerful spellcaster or by the earnest desire of an innocent person who loved you very much. You're living proof that a hopeful spirit can overcome any obstacle. If you roll a success on a saving throw against an
emotion or
fear effect, you get a critical success instead.
Versatile Heritages
Source Advanced Player's Guide pg. 28 2.0The peoples of Golarion are many, and they have a long history of intermingling. The inevitable offspring of these mixed unions share physiological features with both their parents, manifesting as a specific heritage. The most common of these by far are the half-elf and half-orc human ancestries. Some individuals, however, are born under far stranger circumstances, such as a monstrous, undead, or extraplanar parent, a powerful curse, or an incursion of extraplanar energies. As these circumstances aren't unique to a single ancestry, these heritages—called versatile heritages—are likewise shared by many ancestries.
