Grunner.



Grunner.

Grunners are a race of beings that come from a world of extreme temperatures. There year is dived into three sessions the first session ‘Charr” is similar to winter yet with temperature
Diving way below freezing. After “Charr” comes “Fingle” were the temperature heats up for 2 months at a rapid rate finally becoming “Hilgar” an extreme summer. The erratic temperature has resulted in the inhabitants becoming incredibly durable. Their smooth hairless grey skin looks at first appearance soft yet it consist of dozens of layers making it
Very resilient to damage.

Grunner society is similar to ancient Japan, various countries and lands will have a lord whose family become he next in line to be lord. Grunners follow a warrior code similar to the ancient samurai. Where each lord will have several top warriors with him/her at all time.

In battle they prefer melee combat as opposed to ranged weapons; however they can be just a skilled in ranged combat as any other race.

Grunners are generally quiet as a whole, preferring to let there actions speak rather than words. In combat they are spectacular to watch. There incredible agility makes them methodical fighters and appears cold and emotionless.
Honor and loyalty are the status quo for grunners with traitors and dishonorable Grunners hunted and killed. Since becoming space fairing beings they have spread across the galaxy and established other colonies on various other planets. Most Grunners that have left their clans or being dishonored in combat seek out other careers as warriors for hire. Roinis warriors without masters.

Grunners view all other races as undisciplined rouges without honor, yet they seem to associate with yazzarins more than others races.

Grunners have a life pledge belief toward other races. Believing themselves better than the other races, if a Grunners live is saved by a non-Grunner then they feel they must not rest until the dept is repaid. This usually results in other races being lumbered with an unwanted companion.

These are some fairly well thought out races. The bit about the Gruners vision is especially good. Perhaps the Tarr'll should have great difficulty with sharp rocky or desert terrain. Maybe a minus to movement or a vastly increased need for water in arid cinditions. The limited thermal (emphasis on limited) and lack of color vision is very good. Rather than a bonus on the Initiatave (Tarr'll) roll there could be a suprise bonus, e.g., suprised only 15% of the time. Other wise great work in keeping with the general flavor of the core rules.

The Grunner is a bit too similiar to Japanese people, and the Tar'll? They are just exactley much like Eragon's, and Tolkien's elves. Not to also mention that they look like the bad guys from Dragon Ball Z.
