Normally I don't do Favored classes in my campaign, I do what I call Preferred Classes. They are listed as Common (i.e. what you would think of as Favored Classes. At least 1 in 2 members of the race that you are likely to meet belong to one of these classes), Uncommon (Most common secondary choices for members of this race), Rare (Not many members of your race choose this class as they are either mentally or physically unsuited for it. You would be a rare exception that fits right), and Very Rare (You might be the only member of your race to be a member of this class if there are any at all). So here they are for the Glyflym Gen:
Common: Scout Uncommon: Ranger, Primordial Rare: Fighter, Rogue, Druid, Shaman Very Rare: All other classes
AGING EFFECTS Middle Age: 30 Old: 45 Venerable: 60 Maximum Age: +2d10 years
HEIGHT AND WEIGHT Base Length: 6' Length Modifier: +1d6' Base Weight: 500 lbs. Weight Modifier: x100 lbs.
GYFLYM GEN CHARACTERS The Glyflym Gen are fairly versatile. More powerful than they look, and very quick. They're perfect for skirmishing. Adventuring Race: The Glyflym Gen usually go on adventures because the Druids have ordered them too, or perhaps for personal curiosity. Most prefer not to, spending their time living a simple life of hunting instead. Character Development: Your a fast swimmer. Build yourself around exploiting that speed, especially since you'll only get 1 attack per round. You won't really be wearing armor, so find ways of increasing your AC without it. Character Names: Most Glyflym Gen names are in Common (Welsh) the same as humans. Will post examples as soon as I find some.
ROLEPLAYING A GYFLYM GEN You're quirky. Most of you and your brethren are highly individualistic. Each of you has a personal hobby or area of study that you use to occupy your curiosity with. Personality: Glyflym Gen are known for being talkers. Maybe it's the incredible lung capacity. Whatever it is they are known for hours long conversations on just about anything. This doesn't mean that they tend towards openness. As former predators they still have some paranoia, and they rarely chat about personal things. Behaviors: The Glyflym Gen are among the least antisocial of the awakened creatures. They are far more communal now than they were as animals. While awakening has made many of the dinosaurs paranoid and antisocial, it's made the Ichthyosaurs paranoid and chatty. They band together for protection, and are very loyal. Language: The Glyflym Gen speak Common and Sylvan like all awakened animals.
GYFLYM GEN SOCIETY The Glyflym Gen are curious in nature, seeking to learn what they can when they can. This has led to some paranoia as people have observed that regardless of what you are doing one of the Glyflym will always be in the background watching. They are somewhat good natured and fun loving, and better adapted to polite society than most awakened animals. Alignment : What alignment is common to members of this race and why. Lands : The Glyflym Gen are ocean dwellers primarily. They don't hug the coasts, but neither are they purely a deep ocean species. Settlements : Glyflym Gen rarely settle. They stick to their home territories when not on missions. Beliefs : The Glyflym Gen are fairly curious about Gods. Some may take up worship, but most approach religion in a more scholarly than devoted sense. Relations: The Glyflym Gen try their best to get along with everyone. They dont wish to offend the powerful who may destroy them, nor do they wish to offend the weak lest the weak seek to undermine them. Some awakened species are fairly annoyed by the Glyflym Gen's chatty nature though.
GYFLYM GEN ADVENTURES · Contact has been lost with an island stronghold at sea where many of the Druids secrets are kept. You and your pod must Scout the area before heavier troops are sent it to find out whats going on. . A huge sea creature of unkown origin has been devastating the local underwater populations.

"Something is behind these dinosaur attacks. Something...Evil..."
Those of you who collected the old Dinosaurs Attack cards will recognize this one.
Spells: Dinosaur may cast spells as a Wizard equal to his Hit Dice Level (however he requires no spell book).
Flame Sheath (Su): Dinosaur Satan is surrounded by flames. They add 2d6 fire damage to his grapple attacks and unarmed strikes. In addition anyone attacking him with a grapple, unarmed strike, or natural weapon takes 2d6 fire damage.
Immunities: Dinosaur Satan is Immune to Cold, Fire, and Acid Damage. he is also immune to poison, polymorph, sleep effects, paralysis, and stunning.
True Seeing (Su): Dinosaur Satan has a continually operating True Seeing spell (20th level caster).
Call Horde (Su): Once per day Dinosaur Satan may call up to 100 Hit Dice worth of Dinosaurs. They remain with him permanently until destroyed. This otherwise works like Summon Monster IX. He cannot have more than 100 Hit Dice present at any one time.
Reptile Mind (Su): Any dinosaur or prehistoric reptile coming within sight of Dinosaur Satan must make a DC 35 Willpower save or permanently become his servant (Save DC is Charisma Based). Servants will do anything he commands, up to and including taking their own lives.
Combat: Dinosaur Satan prefers to use summoned Dinosaurs and remain behind the scenes. If confronted he actually likes physical combat as opposed to spells, and unless he believes the opponent is a threat he will attempt a Grapple.
