The creature carries a solid looking axe and several javelins are strapped to its back. The creature is unarmored, yet its body ripples with strength under its thick hide.The bronth are descendants of some unknown bear-like creature, standing upright, and demonstrating a certain degree of intelligence. They are found exclusively on the continent of Kanpur, in the cold regions of the north. While they can be found as far to the east as the Iceshield Lands, they are most common in the Northwest Region of the continent. It is rumored that a specific polar breed of bronth can be found in the lands of the Far North and that these polar bronth are large, savage barbarians.A bronth has an ursine head, stands 7½ feet tall, and weighs as much as a 500 pounds. The creature’s thick hides is covered with dark brown fur, which acts as insulation. Its eyes range, in color, from pale brown to midnight black, and its clawed hands have four fingers and an opposable thumb.The language of the bronth, Boru, has a thick and solid sound. Although Boru can communicate fairly sophisticated ideas and has its own alphabet, it hasn’t any words of more than 3 syllables.CombatBronth, as a general rule, do not like to hurt others, at least not without cause, but they have been known to become extremely violent when others do so in front of them. They especially hate slavers and will attack such "filth” as soon as it becomes obvious what the slaver does for a living.Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a bronth must hit with a claw attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity.Keen Vision (Ex): Bronth have low-light vision that allows them see twice as far as a human can in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of low illumination. They also have darkvision out to 60 feet.Scent (Ex): A bronth can detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell.  Range is 30 ft.  If upwind, the range increases to 60 ft.; if downwind, it drops to 15 ft.Skills: A bronth gains a +4 racial bonus on Swim checks.Bronth SocietyThe bronth tend to live alongside humans or elves, who they feel a kinship to, living in one particular section of a human or elven city. The bronth get along well with many races, however including, not only, humans & elves but dwarves, githzerai, gnomes, halflings, and rakasta.The bronth abhor slavery, and take whatever steps are necessary to crush it when encountered. They believe that no intelligent being has the right to dominate another. They teach their children to respect other races that prove that they are honorable. Bronth willing give their lives to free slaves and many join militant groups fighting against oppression. As a result, bronth are not welcome in Novarum and Talangrán. Bronth are partial to having pets. They often keep exotic animals or any sort of tame dog-like creature around. There isn’t any contradiction between the bronth’s hatred of slavery and their keeping of animals; all animals are treated with respect and dignity.The bronth are omnivorous, eating both meats and vegetables. They are fond of roots and berries. Bronth love to eat meat that comes from any fish-like species. (They tend to get nervous around intelligent, aquatic races, such as sel'varahn.)The Bronth as CharactersBronth favor the fighter class.Bronth TraitsBronth have all the racial traits listed below:— +4 to Strength, +2 to Dexterity, +2 to Constitution, +2 to Wisdom.— Medium-size.
