View source for Human, Variant (4e Race)

=== Playing a Human ===

Humans can be decisive and rash, often with an explorer's spirit that leads to humans taking the adventurer's path far more frequently than many other races. These traits make humans an indomitable race that can survive through the direst circumstances. Humans typically hurl themselves into the unknown with little thought for the concequences until they arise. The human instinct to "leap without looking" often leads them into danger that they sometimes cannot escape from, for all their tenacity.

Humans are an ambitious race, driven to achieve their goals to a far greater degree than any other race (save, perhaps, for the [[Drow, Variant (4e Race)|drow]]). This ambition can lead them to acts of great cruelty, rival to that even of the drow, but it can also lead  them to greatness. Their ambition also makes them impatient and prone to self-deception.

The self-reliance and bravery of humans makes them prefer martial classes to magical ones. Humans often have a fear of the supernatural, distrusting wizards and those of the magical power sources. However, humans tend to be a pious race that put their faith in all of the gods, often too much so.

As a result of their diversity, many humans are tolerant of other races and cultures,though others can be very intolerant. Many human settlements have settlers from other races, either displaced by the destruction of their homes or travellers that have found a human town or village welcoming.

Humans are said to be the most diverse race; though some charateristics are common among humans, there are many exceptions to the generalized view; some humans are very grounded and unabitious, while others may lack the determination and resillience inherent in the magority of the race. Even among those that posess the ambition, determination and tenacity there is a great amount of variation.
