Ratkin

---

• Age. The ratkin life cycle is extremely short, and most reach maturity a couple of years after they are born, but do not tend to naturally live more then 20-30 years at the most, though there are tales of some who have lived as long as 50 years.

• Alignment. Ratkin tend towards a chaotic alignment, opportunistic and impulsive in their nature. While most tend towards evil, there is a large minority that tends towards neutrality, simply doing whatever they can do survive within the ever-changing society.

• Size. When standing completely straight (something that rarely happens), ratkin tend to be between 3' 6" and 5' tall. However, they tend to be hunched over, causing them to look much smaller, and weigh around 80 - 120 lbs. Your size is Small.

• Darkvision. Having lived almost your entire life in the dark underground apart from the soft glow of warplight, you are adept at seeing even in the deepest hole.

• Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common, and speak and understand Skritt.. Skritt is a language that consists of primarily squeeks and chirps almost inaudible to non-ratkin with no written symbols.
