Thugian illustration

Background

Their sheer size and mass grant Thugians the second greatest strength among humanoid races. They are difficult to injure and heal at an amazingly rapid rate. Some have been left for dead only to recover moments later.

A Drag-al once observed, “He is just too stupid to know he should have died.” Since everyone else smiled, so did the Thugian they were discussing.

Many sentients are nervous around Thugians due to their eating habits and notoriously poor table manners. A well-fed Thugian can be a loyal, if not clever, companion.

Appearance

Very large, sturdy, well-muscled humanoids. Brutish and exceptionally strong. Their strength is matched only by their tremendous stupidity.

Temperament

Thugians do not speak well and have simple needs. When hungry, they will eat whatever is most handy — even other sentients. They have a particular taste for human and troll flesh and are almost always hungry.

Although not bright, they can learn simple tasks through repetition.

Tendencies

Thugians are attracted to small, shiny, and/or cute objects and can become possessive of them. They are easily amused and can find endless entertainment in a frolicking Secian.

Their chaotic nature makes it hard to predict when they might turn angry.

Traits

Advantages: Incredible strength, rapid healing, and the ability to eat almost anything.

Hindrances: Not intelligent.

Alignment: Any

Professions: Preferred: Fighter, Barbarian. Rare: Thief, Rune Mage.
