Mankeys

Personality

Mankeys love trouble, and their curiosity often gets the better of them. They escape danger with ease and grace, which most people think is quite daring. They love the spotlight. They're nomadic, going wherever they please. They quite enjoy shiny stuff, and the successful ones make quite big collections, rivaling those of a dragon.

Physical Description

Mankeys stand about 3 feet tall, and usually weigh between 30 and 35 pounds. Their whole body is covered in fur, and they often grow it quite far on their chins, putting colorful, and shiny, bands in it. Their tail is the same color as their fur, and it is about the same length as their body. They also have big, fuzzy ears. They usually wear simple, confortable clothes, and shiny stuff when they can. They reach adulthood at the age of 20, and live well into their second century.

Relations

They fit quite well into most communities. In fact, you can usually find at least a couple in most communities. They get along with most good-aligned creatures, but often live in human societies, taking care to exploit them carefully. They get along the best with Halflings, as they share the same gods and lifestyles.

Alignment

Mankeys are usually neutral. They love freedom, indulge in it, but their clans are very important to them all.

Lands

They have no real lands of their own. Fit to live wherever they fancy, they are the most adaptable race. Usually, they travel with their clans, and follow the rule of the leader, the Gorille.

Religion

Mankeys share their god with the halflings. She is called Yondalla, the Blessed One, protector of halflings and mankeys. Yondalla promises blessings and protection to those who follow her word, protect their clans, and cherish their families.

Language

Mankeys have their own language, but no known writing of yet. The occasional letter is written in Common script. They hate to share it with others, something about it being invented by Yondalla herself.

• Small: As a Small creature, a mankey gains a +1 size bonus to Armour Class, a +1 size bonus to attack rolls, and a +4 bonus on Hide checks, but she uses smaller weapons than humans use, and her lifting and carrying limits are three-quarters that of a Medium character.

• +1 racial bonus on attack rolls with weapons and/or slings: Throwing and slinging stones is great fun for the Mankey race. It is easier to hit something from a distance, then run away, than it is to do the same when standing right next to the person.
