Humans within the confines of most Fantasy settings are usually more aggressive
and imperialistic, and thus have usually carved out large niches of land for themselves,
and seem prone to forming various nations of differing types of government. and
outlook.
|
|
Humans are typically much more diverse than other non-Human Races, with people running
the gamut of physical and mental traits.
|
|
Humans tend towards practical enterprise, and most have learned useful job skills
by adulthood either by apprenticeship, from fathers or older brothers, or the like.
Further, within the confines of the genre, humans tend to be adaptable to changing
events and times.

As the name would indicate Light Foot typically fight on foot. They generally wear
lighter armor and wield lighter weapons.
|
|
Light Foot concentrate on speed, manueverability, skill, and technique over brute
force and strength. Reflexes and adroitness are their bread and butter, and they
often make use of easily carried thrown weapons which they can hurl at an opponent.
|
|
Adept skirmishers, Light Foot are much more dangerous than their lightly armored
fast moving nature would suggest, and what they lack in striking power they make
up for with accuracy and finesse.
