Human

by Ralsu

Humans are Eberron's most versatile pioneers. They are also the most diverse people in the world, displaying the most divergence from one individual to the next of all the races. A typical human is between 5 and 6 feet tall and weighs 125-250 pounds. Human hair color ranges from blonde to dark black, and their eyes can be brown, green, or blue. Humans rarely live to reach the century mark.

Humans pride themselves for individuality and their steadfast idealism. They'll sometimes defend causes just to be different, and they aren't afraid to fail in their endeavors. The shortest-lived race, humans eschew the patience of elves and dwarves in favor of creating immediate change in the world—good or bad.

Though dwarves and elves are an older race, humans reproduce more quickly, and their tenacity allows them to spread throughout the world quickly. Humans can be found anywhere in the world, and usually in greater number than any other race.

Adventures and combat
Human nature necessitates exploration. Humans see mountains as obstacles to climb, rivers as boundaries to traverse, and death for a good cause as the noblest expression of their being. When human expansion encroaches on dwarven lands or damages elven woodlands, conflict arises. And humans habitually exhibit stubbornness in the face of conflict.

Racial traits
Bonus Feat at Level 1: Humans are quick studies. This manifests in the form of an extra Feat at character creation.

Extra Skill Points: To represent the quickness with which humans learn, all humans get 4 extra Skill points at Level 1 and 1 extra Skill point each additional level.

Classes: Humans are capable of performing well as any class because of their balanced Abilities. The extra Feat or Skill points serve them well as the following:

• Bard
• Fighter
• Rogue
