Races

On this page7

Five races, and each one is a 2d6 table. You roll on it at level 1, again at level 2, and again at level 5.

Rolling Racial Abilities:

Roll 2d6 on your race's chart
If you roll the same result twice, take the ability directly above or below (your choice)
If no valid option, reroll

Adaptable, ambitious, and short-lived. Humans push harder because they have less time.

Roll	Ability

Small, merry, and harmless, or so everyone thinks. Gnomes tinker, play tricks, and keep the peace.

Size: Half

Roll	Ability

8	Prankster - Advantage on checks to trick, distract, or misdirect someone with something harmless.
