Character Creation
Orc's Head profiles several new character races. The wallaras or "chameleon men" are wise outback cousins of dragons; phanatons are small monkey-like creatures who act as defenders of the forest; and manscorpions were once usurpers of the kingdom of Nimmur who now fight to right that old wrong. The enduks are winged minotaurs, servants of the Immortal Idu, who were once the rulers of Nimmur. There are the winged elves, the ee'aar, who befriended the enduks and who live in glass cities, high in the mountains. The three races of lizard kin-the shazaks (inhabitants of Shazak), the gurrash (who live in Ator), and the caymas (who populate Cay)-were once slaves, but now live in their bayou and woodland homes at the western end of the Savage Coast. Information on each of these races is to be found in the individual chapters. The charts for generating characters as well as information on new character kits is placed here.

1. This entry covers all wizard classes; some races are restricted from some wizard classes. See the entry under each race for specific information.
2. These races are relatively primitive, and have not developed extremely specialised professions. Thus, they have a limited number of kits available, usually only one or two per class.

1. These beings usually fly rather than climbing, and are thus, less apt at the skill.
2. The Wallaras' blending ability makes this skill unnecessary.
