Human

Humans are, for better or for worse, the species by which all other sentient races are measured. They have a wide range of shapes and sizes, more so than any other race.

Racial Abilities
Humans do not have darkvision or any other enhanced senses, nor do they have any special powers.

Classes
The only ability which distinguishes a human is that they can rise to the highest possible experience level in virtually any class; the only class forbidden to humans is that of mage, as they lack an innate connection to the magical world. In addition, there are some classes (such as abjurer, invoker, monk, and paladin) that are only available to human characters.

Subraces
There are several subraces of humans; the differences between them are purely cosmetic and cultural, and have no bearing on their abilities.

Central (Plains)
Plains humans tend to have high cheekbones, thin frames, and skin ranging from reddish-tan to dark brown. They have straight black hair and brown or green eyes, with little to no facial or body hair.

Eastern (Steppe)
Steppe humans have well-defined features, often with large noses or eyes, tall and toned frames, and dark complexions. They have black or brown hair and eyes; their hair is usually thick and curly, and they have little body hair (although some grow thick beards).

Northern (Polar)
Polar humans are often described as similar to dwarves, with their pale to ruddy complexions, black or brown eyes and hair (which is usually curly), and thick facial and body hair. They often have stocky or barrel-chested frames, and it is supposed by some that they have some ancestry in common with dwarves.

Southern (Duemeran)
Duemerans are the most varied and widespread of the human subraces. They typically have pale complexions, often with freckles; their eyes and hair can be almost any earth-tone, and is usually curly or wavy. Duemeran males have slightly more body and facial hair than females, and both sexes vary in height (although males are usually taller). It is theorized that Duemerans are distant cousins to the halfling species.

Western (Occidental)
Occidentals are described as being similar to sylvan elves in appearance, except for their characteristically human rounded ears; their complexion ranges from pale to olive, with black hair and brown or green eyes. They have little to no facial or body hair, and usually have elf-like short, thin frames.

Table: Average Height and Weight of Humans
* Females tend to be lighter and shorter than males. Thus, the base numbers for height and weight are divided into male/female values. Note that the modifier still allows for a broad range in each category.
