Racial Articles Racial Abilities

Ambitious Will

Humans have the unique distinction of being able to pursue any class and have the chance to excel at it. While other races are limited by staunch, unbending beliefs, or a simple inability to grasp the concepts of a particular class, Humans are very open-minded to new ideas and to learn new skills. (+10% to intuition checks).

Enduring Spirit

Humans also are highly adaptable and can survive extreme differences in their environment. Because of this, Humans can endure where other races will begin to falter physically. While this does not make them immune to any particular environmental hazard, they will flourish despite these hazards, rather than be defeated by them. (+10% to endurance checks against environmental hazards, such as extreme cold and heat, etc.)

Heroic Tenacity

Humans are not known for their willingness to give up or surrender. They will rally despite insurmountable odds, continue fighting even when all hope is lost and are known to have a nearly unbreakable spirit. Humans as a race have spent most of their existence fighting one enemy or another that has been more powerful than they are, granting an innate understanding of weapons and how to use them effectively as well. (55% resistance to fear, +12% to melee and ranged weapon hit).

Ingenuity

While other races are superior in crafting items, It is to Humans that most of the innovation of new inventions and new ways to do old things comes from. If a human is skilled in a particular craft there is a good chance he or she will figure out a way to make whatever their making in a different, possibly better way. Additionally, this gives Humans a slight edge in learning the complexities of magic, allowing them to see and understand magic in a way other races may have a more limited view upon. (+15% to masterwork crafting checks, +15% to spell hit).
