Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest mean they are very physically diverse as well. Skin shades range from nearly black to very pale, hair from black to blond, and facial hair (for men) from sparse to thick. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.
Racial features
Size: Medium
Favored class: Any. When determining whether a multiclass human suffers an XP penalty, his highest-level class does not count.
- Quick to Master: 1 extra feat at 1st level.
- Skilled: 4 extra skill points at first level, plus 1 additional skill point at each following level.
Gameplay Notes
The favored class ability is generally considered the biggest bonus of the human, useful for multi-classing into some specialized base class with no penalty.
The broad adaptability of humans makes them the basic recommended race should a player be unsure of which to choose.
