Notes |
These squat, grey-skinned humanoids have sharp yellowed fangs and yellow eyes that can see clearly in dark and smoky atmospheres. However, they are sensitive to ultraviolet light, which makes them less well able to see in daylight than humans (1 grade harder during day). Their lungs are very efficient at filtering and neutralising inhaled toxins, their porous body fat insulates their internal organs from extreme temperatures, and their cartilaginous bones have twice the strength of the human equivalent. Their alimentary canal and stomach are impervious to all non-corrosive poisons.Without a strong officer to command them will not engage in combat unless they outnumber an enemy two-to-one).

Black Iron Bow: The black iron bow is the standard elite weapon for archers and other skilled ranged attackers in the Darklands armies. With its shaft of bent and tempered black iron and its braided steel cable for a string, this bow fires its specially crafted metal arrows with remarkable force and accuracy. Though its heavy arrows do not fly as far as a normal longbow, they hurt a great deal more when they hit. A legion of Drakkarim archers with black iron bows is one of the most feared military formations in all of Magnamund.+1 AP effect. |
