ABOUT

This hulking brute stands well over 6 feet tall and seems more ape than man. He wears poorly cured armor made from animal hides, and carries a big two-handed club.

Beastman politics are simple: The biggest warrior is in charge, so most warchiefs are the fiercest and most bloodthirsty warriors of their tribes. They lead by example, charging heedlessly into almost any fight in the hope of striking the first blow. However, most warchiefs possess a certain low cunning to go along with their superior size and strength, making them masters of strategy compared to their fellows.
