Human

Humans are the native inhabitants of Earth and the most numerous of its denizens; they run the full gamut of survivor archetypes from traders and scavengers to soldiers and warlords. Humankind has long ruled Earth uncontested, but now finds itself in a world where it is no longer top of the food chain, and it will have to use its adaptability to stay off the menu.

PLAYING a Human

Humans are the baseline for the species in the Afterworlds setting and game rules. Humans do not have the restrictions on their playstyle and roleplaying that many other species do, but lack the advanced powers and abilities that the other species gain.

PERKS

Humans start the game with 100 XP to spend on perks.

SPECIES POWERS

• Humans have an XP cap for perks of 2200, instead of the usual 2000. This limit can be increased as normal.
• Humans begin the game with the ability to equip one extra maximum limit flag.

LIMIT RECOVERY

Human characters can recover limit flags by resting. The default rest time for humans is 5 minutes, but can be altered by perks.

COSTUMING REQUIREMENTS

No special costuming requirements.
