While it is true that
a number of half-krolvin are the random result of Krolvin
raids on coastal towns and villages, the majority of
the race are the result of a breeding program by a specific
krolvin, who went by the name of Krintaur. It was Krintaur's
hope that he would breed an army of half-krolvin at
his command ... a hope that eventually led to his exile
on a rocky, inhospitable island far from his krolvin
home. The colony of half-breeds flourished on the small
island, but eventually their numbers began to expand
beyond what the small island could accommodate.
Half-krolvin most often wear their heritage in their
bodies, an undeniable badge of identification. Most
half-krolvin have pale skin, but their skin tones are
within the range considered "normal" on a
human, except that they often support a blue or blue-grey
tinge, as you see on a human who has been overexposed
to the cold. They also tend to be hairier than the average
human, and much hairier than the average elf. Many half-krolvin
tend to have disproportionately long arms ending in
long hands with elongated fingers and swollen-looking
knuckles. Often the elegance and delicacy of their fingers
is remarked on, along with some comment as to how the
swollen knuckles mar the beauty of the hand. Also, in
profile it becomes apparent that the foreheads of half-krolvins
tend to slope backward into the hairline and they often
have a concave chin shape. The most obvious attribute
that is used to prove half-krolvin heritage is a hair
growth from the top four vertebrae of the spine. This
is obviously easy to cover with clothing in most circumstances,
but can be construed as damning evidence if a being's
heritage is called into question for having krolvin
blood.
Half-Krolvin take less damage from
cold attacks as if they wore heavy critical padding.
This bonus will stack with any other modifiers that
apply (e.g., armor).
