Humanoid Traits (CBOH)

__NOTOC__
Humanoids have a number of monstrous traits. These may be perfectly normal and acceptable in their own society, but in human society they are gross and frightening. These traits provide bonuses or penalties to PC actions. Every humanoid has at least one trait that is shared by every member of its race (this are given in the humanoid's entry in Chapter Two). The DM may also require humanoid PCs to roll for 1-2 additional monstrous traits, if desired.
Bestial Appetite 1: Humanoid has the appetite of a large beast; must consume twice as much food at every meal or suffer a -1 penalty to Strength and Constitution scores.
Bestial Appetite 2: Humanoid has the appetite of a huge beast; must consume three times as much food at every meal or suffer a -2 penalty to Strength and Constitution scores.
Bestial Appetite 3: Humanoid has the appetite of a gargantuan beast; must consume four times as much food at every meal or suffer a -3 penalty to Strength and Constitution scores.
Bestial Fear: Humanoid has a beast's natural fear of a given thing (PC or DM's choice). In presence of this thing, the humanoid must make a save vs. spells or suffer effects as per a wizard's fear spell.
Bestial Habits: Humanoid has a habit that resembles the behavior of a beast as opposed to the behavior of a civilized person. These cause a -2 penalty to reaction rolls.

Optional Rule: For every special advantage a humanoid has due to its racial type, it rolls for an extra monstrous trait. Additional traits may result in cumulative penalties. Thus, an aarakocra PC starts with bestial speech, then rolls for two more traits.
