Humans are not natives of Gaeis. Long ago the other races noticed strange footprints in the snow, in the sand, in the leaves. They belonged to a new race: the Humans, who had come to Gaeis from Somewhere Else. They are as sturdy, diverse and numerous as the rocks in a riverbed.

Appearance

Human appearance varies widely depending on geographical location, class, and genetics, much more so than any other race. They stand between five and six feet tall, generally speaking, since there are exceptions.

Personality

Humans do not live as long as some of the other races, and so are always ready to work towards their extremely lofty goals and seek to affect the world in radical ways. Humans have a tendency to desire control. They are also curious by nature and are liable to seek out more trouble than is good for them.

Habitat

Humans are the most widely spread of any of the beings of Gaeis, and have established many kingdoms and cities. They live in houses and man-made dwellings.

Society

Humans are very concerned with concepts such as bloodlines, kingdoms and territory. Humans are viewed as outsiders by many of the other races, since the creation stories do not list them and many tales tell of their vagabond beginnings on the planet.

Adventurers

Powers

  • Fisticuffs - For whatever reason, humans love to fight with their hands. Beginning at childhood, humans exhibit a tendency to punch their way through their troubles. To represent this, Humans receive a +1 to their Hand-to-hand Hurt score (2 instead of 1).
  • Versatile - Humans receive a +2 to either a Save or Skill Check of the player's choice.
  • Get a Job - Humans receive the first rank in an Occupation for free since they are quick learners and hard workers.

Max Caps

The Max Caps for all humans is normal.
