  Human Race-as-Class 
   
  A class for OSR games 
  Requires Old-School Essentials Core Rules 
   
  Most OSR games derived from Basic roots use a race-as-class paradigm; this frustrates those who want to 
  play dwarf magic-users and elf thieves, usually prompting a “why aren’t humans a race-as-class?” 
  argument from those hooligans. This mini-supplement replaces the fighter, thief, cleric, and magic-user 
  with a human racial class. Now no one gets to be a magic-user or thief: Problem solved.

  Humans are humans. You’ve probably met one on occasion. 
   
  Animal Enmity 
  Humans possess an inborn antagonism toward wolves and big cats (cougars, lions, etc.) which reciprocate 
  the feeling. Humans receive a -2 to reactions from wolves, big cats, and similar creatures (such as phase 
  tigers and werewolves). 
   
  Animal Kinship  
  On the other hand, humans have some sort of natural affinity for dogs and horses. Humans receive a +2 
  on reactions from dogs, horses, and similar creatures (such as blink dogs and pegasi). 
   
  Magic Item Use 
  Humans can use any and all magic items they find but if the magic item has some kind of racial 
  requirement then there's a 50% that item will be crumble to dust immediate after the human uses it. For 
  items that depend on caster level, treat ½ the human's HD as his caster level. 
   
  After reaching 9th Level 
  A human may become a great leader of his kind, taking control of a parcel of land and a leadership rank 
  in his society. A human will, assuming money is at hand, build a castle. He may ultimately control several 
  villages and towns, but must be a good, strong leader and provide protection.
