ABOUT

The pech are originally from the Elemental Plane of Earth but some have migrated to the Prime Material Plane. They are relatively short, about four feet high, and have large heads and broad, round pupil-less eyes. They have long arms and legs. A tribe of pech (5d4) will have an equal number of females to males and 1d4 young. They abhor bright light.

The pech fashion hammers and picks which they use as both tools and weapons. Their flesh is hard as rock and provides an excellent natural defense. In addition, they are immune to all forms of petrification. They typically carry a pouch with gemstones and may (50%) have 1d3 pieces of ornamental jewelry.
