Ancestries

All characters have an Ancestry and a Culture (except Cyberguards, which do not have a Culture). select your Ancestry from the list below.   a character may have two Ancestries, denoting that they are of mixed ancestry. the rules for Mixed Ancestry are designed to balance such characters to those who have a single Ancestry.   for Mixed Ancestry characters, use the following adjustments:  

• if both parents are of Medium size, you are Medium size.
• if both parents are of Small size, you are Small size.
• if one parent is of Medium size and the other is of Small size, you can be either Small or Medium size.
• if both Ancestries have the same speed, you have that speed.
• if one Ancestry has 10 yard speed, and the other Ancestry has 7 yard speed, you can have either 10 yard or 7 yard speed.
• if either parent has Low-Light Vision or Infravision, you have those traits as well.
• for all other traits, choose any two traits from among any offered by either Ancestry (two total, not two each).
• mixed Leonin Ancestry is never Large size and never has speed of 13 yards.
