Other Humans (Greyhawk)
 |
There are other human races in the World of Greyhawk, living in the main outside Flaness.
Common in all these race descriptions should be read as whatever language is dominant in the campaign. If the campaign takes palce in a race's home region, common is the same as that race's home language, and is replaced with one free trait.
If the campaign takes place in Nippon, common means Nipponese, and Nippon characters start with only one language but one extra trait.
