Heavy Worlder Racial Template

Heavy Worlder (TL9)

46 points

A heavy worlder's weight is 25% over the human norm, but height is 1' less than indicated for ST. Someone with this modification is wider, which can give problems in narrow passages or doors designed for normal humans (a DX roll to squeeze through).

This is a variant human designed for life in a 1.5 to 2 G environment. He has more muscle to get around, strong bones to avoid breaking them in falls, and a resilient circulatory system to prevent early death due to heart failure. However, the "heavy-worlder" is usually unattractive by human standards, with a barrel chest and a compact, blocky body.
