Tawntin

Tawntin

Tawntin are a short kind, barely scraping three feet at their tallest if you don't count their black, goatlike horns, which can reach up to a curved 8 inches. Both genders tend to have thin, long pseudo-beards running down their jawlines, but only the males have them reach all the way to their chin, which like their hair is always in grey or white. Most Tawnin dwell in the mountains, but a few colonies reside in the plains at their feet, and some families and individuals have moved into metropolitan areas. Most civilians trim their horns to a blunt edge, and those who have settled down with a family cut them to nubs, while soldiers and adventurers keep them long.

Alternate Racial Traits

Goring Horns: Some Tawntin are blessed with horns of just the right position and sharpness to use as a weapon in combat. You treat your horns as a natural weapon which deals 1d4 piercing damage. This racial trait replaces Healthy.

Plain Runner: Tawntin living on the plains of the world grow out of their mountain-traversing habits and learn to move swiftly across even ground. Tawntin with this racial trait have a movement speed of 30 feet. This racial trait replaces Base Speed and Mountaineer.
