Most humans are the descendants of pioneers, conquerors, traders, travelers, refugees and other people on the move. As a result, human lands are home to a mix of people who are physically, culturally, religiously and politically different. Hardy or fine, light-skinned or dark, showy or austere, primitive or civilized, devout or impious, humans run the gamut.

Physical Description

Humans typically stand from 5 feet to a little over 6 feet tall and weigh from 125 to 250 pounds, with men noticeably taller and heavier than women. Humans have short life spans, reaching adulthood at about age 15 and rarely living even a single century.

Alignment

Humans favor no particular alignment — the best and the worst are found among them.

Religion

Unlike members of the other common races, humans do not have a chief racial deity. Pelor, the sun god, is the most commonly worshiped deity in human lands, but he can claim nothing like the central place that the dwarves give Moradin or the elves give Corellon Larethian in their respective pantheons.
