Barachi
Version 0.20: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
| Barachians are an amphibious humanoid race, said to be distantly related to the Elves. Spawned in great numbers beneath the southern ice, their Mother-Father sends them forth to destroy and pillage the civilized lands. Barachians' most remarkable trait is their grossly overmuscled legs, which allow them to leap remarkable distances. When not leaping, they are somewhat slow-moving, but they do have considerable flexibility in skill choice. |

Innate Abilities
- Swims
- Slow 1: Barachians move slowly.
- Strong Legs 1: Can hop short distances, but without complete accuracy. Hopping requires a LOS unobstructed by any physical obstacles; however, one can hop over interposed monsters, plants, statues. Hopping can be used to reliably free oneself from nets, webs. Hopping is not Blinking, so it continues to function when one is affected by teleport restrictions or Dimension Anchor. After hopping, you will be unable to use this ability again until you have spent some time not moving. (Other actions, such as casting spells and attacking, are fine.)
Preferred Backgrounds
Level Bonuses
- Strong Legs 2, at level 13: the hopping range is increased.
