Humanity is the predominant sentient race of Esoterica, though they come in different varieties.

Edit

Civilized

Some humans living in more civilized lands are less physical and more learned. Focused less on athletic endeavors and survival, they often are more skilled or better educated but less hardy than humans hailing from more barbaric environs. Civilized humans run the gamut of sizes, coloration, and shapes.

Race Package:

• Human (Skilled): "civilized" city folk and non-warrior humans generally have this package vs the Human (Athletic) one.

Nations:

• Tears of Vrylakos: most of the Humans of the Tears use this Package
• Sanctuary: most of the residents of Sanctuary use this Package

Edit

Martial

Some members of humanity is composed of physically oriented peoples well adapted to harsh and perhaps even savage existences.

Race Package:

• Human (Athletic):

Nations:

• Tears of Vrylakos: in the Tears most of the Humans of Fiore, Chaldis, Arkenvald, and Klommesh use this Package
• Imperium of Irth: the Irthian military members use this Package
• Sanctuary: some of the residents of Sanctuary use this Package

Edit

Pygmies

Some groups of humans are unusually small. Though quicker than most normal sized humans, they are also less strong. Most pygmies are around four feet tall, and some are sub-four feet. A few exceptionally "tall" pygmies get up to 5 feet. Pygmies tend to have very wiry, compact builds. Pygmies generally represent a distinct strain or subrace of humanity, but its possible that a child born to normal-sized parents might exhibit pygmie-like traits (ie: take the Pygmie Race Package vs a more standard Human Race Package).

Race Package:

• Human (Pygmie): a few races of diminutive Humans exist, where noted.

Nations:

• ???

Edit

Gargants

There is a subrace of humanity who are much as other men save that they are an exceptionally large, standing 7 to 9 feet tall and being of proportional girth. Further, several strains of humanity occasionally produce a specimen of similar impressive physical stature (ie: a character might take the Gargant Race Package vs a more standard Human Race Package). Other than their impressive size, Gargants are otherwise as other men in their range of coloring and ethnic traits.

Race Package:

• Gargants: A subrace of humanity that is unusually large and strong.

Nations:

• ???

GM Notes

Gargants are just extra big humans, not ogres or trolls or anything like that. They are physically identical to baseline humanity, just larger. Most are born to normal humans as a recessive gene, but in some places there are tribes / peoples where it is a dominant gene.
