Human

Adaptable and ambitious, Humans thrive in the diverse tapestry of the Realms, forging their destinies with a keen eye for opportunity. They can be found in every clime, from the frozen glaciers of the Northern Walls to the burning desert of Ramiidia. They live and thrive where no other civilization can take root.

Many other ancestries view Humans with some trepidation. They point out the Humans' clannish nature, and their tendency to turn against those who are different simply because they are different. They note the Humans' aggressiveness, their willingness to clash even among themselves, and their hierarchal nature.

But even the most jaded intellect can admit that Humans are incredibly versatile and adaptable. They have been described as “everybody's second-best friend.” Despite their fractious nature, Humans are often willing to put their differences aside to reap a common benefit, and if they are opportunistic, they can also be remarkably altruistic.

Half-Troll

Female Trolls can pass for Human, especially when they employ their glamers to cloak their appearance. They are known to seduce Human males, and occasionally produce a halfling child. Typically, they will abandon that child on the doorstep of a religious organization, or that of a childless peasant.

The resulting being tends to have some of the Trollish resilience and aggression, but little of their appearance; they can easily pass as large, robust Humans. If you choose to be Half-Troll, you gain five additional stamina, but lose the Flexible Training benefit.
