Natives are primitive people who live in
jungles, wilderness, or on tropical islands.
The warriors of the more warlike tribes
(including cannibals) are all 1st level fighters,
but the natives of peaceful tribes are
mostly normal humans who have few higher
level leaders. Most natives wear no armor
(AC 9), but some wear the equivalent of
leather armor (AC 7), and the tribal chiefs
may wear special armor of hardened bone
or lacquered wood (equivalent of AC 5 or
6). Natives may also carry shields.
For every 20 natives, there is an additional
2nd level fighter who acts as their
leader. For every 40 natives, there is an
additional 4th level fighter who acts as war leader. For each villageof at least 100, there
is a chieftain who is a 6th level fighter.
There is a 50% chance that each village of at
least 100 also has a tribal shaman who is a
magic-user or cleric of at least 5th level. If
300 natives are encountered, there is a
“great chief” of at least 9th level. This chief
is guarded by 2d4 4th level warriors.
