HUMANS:
Humans come in many varieties physically. In general, the humans of the various regions of the BLOODLINES campaign setting, however, can roughly be seen as more or less equivalent to humans in our world, especially of Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia. More details to be given in the setting page. However, all humans have the same rules:
- Medium sized
- Base speed 30 ft.
- 1 extra base skill point per level (translates to 4 extra skill points at first level)
- 1 extra feat at first level
NOTE: The basic d20 Modern rules assume race is human. If you use the rules as written, do not give an additional extra base skill point or feat -- instead, you must subtract an extra feat and extra base skill point at first level for non-human races.
