Caveman

BF-Monsters-as-PCs r4

Stocky, heavily muscled kin of Humans with limited language — complex grunts and ape-like vocalizations (rudimentary concepts only, cannot verbalize normal tongues). Nature-wise.

NOTES

Caveman Clerics are called Shamans (spells vocalized unrecognizably). May take nature optional classes with GM permission.
