Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire – Aumaua
The mighty aumaua are the largest of the kith races and are commonly found in or near oceans. Though not truly aquatic, they have an affinity for water and many of their civilizations, such as Rauatai, are based on naval dominance. They are known for their unparalleled strength.
Attribute Bonus: +2 Might
Island Aumaua
Island aumaua originated in the Deadfire Archipelago and have largely remained there over the millennia. While physiologically similar to their coastal cousins, the coloration of island aumaua is starkly different – warm tones, contrasting the coastal’s cool blues and green.
While not all island aumaua are connected to the native Huana culture of the Deadfire, it is rare to find them in the Eastern Reach, much less the Old Empires.
Coastal Aumaua
Viewed by many in the Old Empires and Eastern Reach as a warlike race, the coastal aumaua are dominantly from the northern nation of Rauatai. Though they originated in the Deadfire Archipelago thousands of years ago, time and distance have divorced them from their distant Huana kin. Coastal aumaua are less intimately connected to the sea than island aumaua and are distinguished by their cool skin tones.
Coastal aumaua are renowned for their natural “sea legs” and sturdy builds. Whether it’s due to their long history of seafaring or something innate, all coastal aumaua have resistance to Might Afflictions.
