# Cast Iron Gut - Beastmen will eat and drink anything...and anyone, yet they never seem to suffer. Anything you eat or drink no matter how vile, diseased, poisoned or just gross will have any effect on you. You can still contract diseases and be poisoned by other means, so you may want to invest in a knife and fork.

# Night Vision - Beastmen can see perfectly well in natural zero light conditions.

Hindrances
Cannot wear armour heavier than studded leather and may not layer armour.
Can only speak Low Common.
