Cactent

Cactents are a sentient subrace of Ents.

Cactent characters start with the following:

Strain Threshold: 10 + Willpower

Starting Experience: 100 XP

Starting Skills: A Cactent starts with one rank in Resilience or Survival at character creation. They obtain this rank before spending experience points, and may not increase either skill above rank 2 during character creation.

Desert Adapted: Cactents have adapted to living in arid climates. When making skill checks, they remove one setback die imposed by hot or dry conditions. Additionally, Cactents can hold their breath or go without food or water for about twice as long as most races.

Spines: Cactents are covered in sharp spines. When making an unarmed combat check, add +1 to the base damage and a critical rating of 3.
