Human Racial Features

Origin Racial Features

Origin features are typically chosen during character creation, as they represent what your character has been as much as what they will be. Origin racial features are separate from other racial features and come with a prerequisite of being chosen at level 1 unless you are specifically allowed to choose them from another source. Attribute modifiers from an origin feature do not replace the racial attribute modifiers, they are applied in addition to racial attribute modifiers.

Scrapper

The scrapper human origin is a physical specimen. Not entirely different than others of its race the scrapper has merely lived a life of physical (and often violent) struggle. Whether they were spending time in the wilderness staving off natural threats, or as a member of the many militaries within the world, this human has learned to defend themself quite well and can usually hold their own in combat. The defining feature of a human scrapper is their innate willpower and determination.

Scrapper origin humans gain +1 to their resolve attribute score, and +1 to one attribute score of their choice from strength, swiftness, control, or durability.
Scrapper origin humans have a -1 penalty to their instinct attribute score, and a -2 penalty to their knowledge and charisma scores.
Resolve becomes the primary racial attribute for scrapper origin humans.
Knowledge and charisma become racial attribute deficiencies for scrapper origin humans.

Artisan

The artisan human origin is a honed tool of its craft. Not entirely different than others of its race the artisan has chosen to focus on a given skill to get by in life. This can range from crafting awe inspiring sculptures with chisel and hammer, throwing together the finest and most durable wooden furniture you have ever sat upon, or even quilting thick clothing en masse to protect the village from the harsh environments.

The diplomat variant of human is one of ambition, and poise. Diplomats rely on their ability to engage in politics and shape the world around them with their advanced ability to interact with others.

Mixed Breed

The mixed breed human is that of split ancestry. Mixed breeds are most often half blooded humans with a parent of another race, while others can have a pie graph of heritage that just happens to include human. Mixed breeds always exhibit traits of their human lineage, but can also show traits of their other bloodlines.
