Ani-Men, Rabbitman (3.5e Race)

Rabbitfolk

Personality

Rabbits, especially their feet, are said to be a symbol of luck, and rabbitfolk love perpetuating that stereotype. In fact, rabbitfolk love games of luck, including dice and cards, and will gladly ante a large sum of money to dissuade his "prey". When away from the tables, rabbitfolk are often the center of attention at the other various night spots. Despite the attenton they get, rabbitfolk are not vain. They simply have a natural ability to draw others to them.

Physical Description

Rabbitfolk are very small folk. They are usually 3' 4" or 3' 5" and weigh about 50 pounds, with the females being about the same. Rabbitfolk are known for having buck-teeth that is easily visible when they open their mouths, and their body hair is usually snow white or a deep black. They have large, rabbit-like ears, large eyes and small noses, but their heads retain some semblance of a human shape.

Rabbitfolk live fairly long lives. They become adults at age 18, but few live more than 150 years.

Relations

Like the monkey-man, rabbit-men can bond with several races, but can do it more easily. Aside from humans, rabbit-men form lasting friendships with elves and halflings. They also have an uncanny knack for bonding with dwarves, despite their sour nature. Rabbit-men are often welcome company to half-elves and half-orcs, as well.

Alignment

One most expects a rabbitfolk to be neutral good or neutral, though neutral is a bit more common. They have few qualms about breaking the law, but they often do so out of need rather than a drive for personal freedom. If they do have a moral center, it most often stems from a desire to help or assist. Though evil rabbit-men are not rare, they are not seen often.

Lands

As with the other ani-men, rabbit-men do not claim any land as their own. However, those with an itch for cards, dice, or roulette will easily find a rabbit-man at a local game house. One might also find a rabbit-man at the arena, placing their bets on the gladiators in the ring.

Religion

Rabbit-men are believers in luck, not fate. Of course, that does not mean they are completely agnostic, as some do become clerics or followers of Pelor. This deity is the one most often worshipped by rabbit-men, and seeing them pray to other gods is very rare.

Language

Rabbitfolk speak Common, and they can learn from a decent list of extra languages.

Names

Rabbitfolk are fundamentally human, so they take human names.
