Chapter 1: Race and Gender<br />

1 = Preference: A preference exists for the<br />

indicated race. Note that, as a general<br />

rule, characters prefer their own<br />

kind.<br />

2 = Acceptance: While these races may not<br />

prefer each other’s company above<br />

their own kind, they are generally on<br />

good terms with each other and will<br />

tend to be accepting and tolerant.<br />

3 = Indifference: These races have no strong<br />

attitudes in favor of, or opposition<br />

to, each other.<br />

4 = Dislike: Negative attitudes exist between<br />

these races. They are usually<br />

not hostile openly toward each other<br />

and opt to avoid members of this<br />

race, but perceived insults may incite<br />

violence.<br />

5 = Hatred: Between these races, insults<br />

usually occur frequently, and violence<br />

is common, if not declared openly<br />

on sight. Generally, these races hate<br />

each other.<br />

Although general attitudes exist between<br />

races, individual attitudes may differ from general<br />

attitudes. To determine a particular character’s degree<br />

of racial hatred for another race, consult the<br />

accompanying table -- Individual Racial Hatred. A<br />

character’s degree of hatred for each race may be<br />

determined during character creation, or upon each<br />

introduction to a race never seen. Consult the Aedile.<br />

To determine an Individual Racial Hatred, roll 3d10<br />

and consult the table.<br />
