Twinborn (always capitalized) are a race of highly religious, reclusive, but ultimately well-meaning people. They are slow to make friends, but very warm to those friends they do make. They are cunning, calm, and strict in most matters, but against their most hated foes they display a rage that can truly be staggering. They typically have pale skin - usually grey, blue, or purple - dark blue or black hair, and pointed ears.
Twinborn speak Celestial and Common, and most also know Dwarven or Elven.
Combat
When battle is inevitable, a Twinborn works with her compatriots, tending toward the back ranks as a healer if at all possible. If forced into melee combat, a Twinborn prefers weapons with a longer reach, or those able to be held with a shield in the other hand for defense. Martial skill, however, is less emphasized as it is with other races, and members of the race unable to produce any supernatural effects are entirely unheard of.
- Cure Minor Wounds (Sp)
A Twinborn's cultural aptitude in matters of faith and the divine lends her strength on and off the battlefield. She may use the spell cure minor wounds once every minute as a spell-like to heal herself slowly during or between battles.
