==Personality==

Granlings are mild mannered and happy-go-lucky, finding joy in the simple pleasures of life. Though, when angered, they don’t restrain their strength and often make decisions without reflecting on the consequences, living in the here and now. They form friendships quickly, and are not against dropping old friends if treated poorly. People often describe them as big children, though they don’t complain nearly as much when they don’t get their way, as they are often used to not getting much within aroghin society. A newly transformed granling is prone to mood swings while adjusting to the inability to think and understand the world how he used to.

==Physical Description==

Granlings are mountains of muscle. They stand 6’ to 7’6’’ tall, growing about a half-foot in height from their [[Aroghin (3.5e Race)|aroghin]] form. Other than looking like body-builder versions of [[Aroghin (3.5e Race)|aroghin]], the two races appear the same.

==Relations==

Unlike their [[Aroghin (3.5e Race)|aroghin]] brothers, granlings get along well with other races. Since they have little fear of what they don't understand, the outside world feels welcoming to them, and most other races would rather keep them happy than have to deal with what happens when they get mad.

==Alignment==

Granlings have no strong inclination toward a particular alignment, often adapting to the manners of those around them rather than making decisions for themselves.

==Lands==

The lowest class citizens are the granlings, tending to be little more than slaves or guards, using their dim wits and great brawn to their best use. Granlings, at least those who are not slaves, live in communal groups and share everything they own with each other. Those who are slaves work hard labor for their [[Aroghin (3.5e Race)|aroghin]] masters, content to have food and a place to sleep, not caring or knowing much else. Granling cruelty is not tolerated, as they tend to lash out against anyone who treats them poorly. Granlings are often employed as guards, rowers on ships, gladiators, porters, and other professions that require strength or are boring. Granlings can’t have children as part of the curse. With [[Aroghin (3.5e Race)|aroghin]] low birth rate, they have a difficult time maintaining a steady population.

==Religion==

Granlings are often to dim to practice religion themselves. They merely follow the practices of those around them, believing much of anything that is told to them, they are often easy to convert, but not very faithful followers. They are often worshippers of strong Deities, such as [[Myillz (3.5e Deity)|Myillz]].

==Language==

Granlings speak Aroghin, and often stick to the harsh words, which are easier for them to speak. Granlings can read and write, but with great difficulty.

==Names==

A family is disgraced when a member uses the curse, even in the direst situation. A granling loses his surname and is disowned, or even enslaved by his former family as a means of atonement. A Granling that once had a wise name is given a strong name instead, or is simply called Granling when no other granling are present.

==Racial Traits==

* [[3e Strength Score Adjustment::+4]] [[SRD:Strength|Strength]], [[3e Intelligence Score Adjustment::&minus;4]] [[SRD:Intelligence|Intelligence]], [[3e Charisma Score Adjustment::&minus;2]] [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]], [[3e Wisdom Score Adjustment::&minus;2]] [[SRD:Wisdom|Wisdom]]:  Granlings are big and tough. Their minds are simple like children. Granlings are stronger than [[Aroghin (3.5e Race)|aroghin]], but their curse makes them simple minded and unable to see the broader world around them. 
* {{Property-Link|SRD:Humanoid Type|3e Creature Type|Humanoid}} ({{Property-Link|Aroghin Subtype|3e Creature Subtype|Aroghin Subtype}})
* {{Property-Link|SRD:Medium|3e Size|Medium}}:  As medium size creatures, Granlings have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
* Granling [[base land speed]] is 30 feet.  
* [[SRD:Endurance|Endurance]]:  Granlings gain the [[SRD:Endurance|Endurance]] feat. 
* Wounded Soul ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):  Granlings brought back from the dead additionally suffer from a [[SRD:Energy Drained|permanent negative level]], which can be restored with an ''[[SRD:Atonement|atonement]]'', ''[[SRD:Limited Wish|limited wish]]'', ''[[SRD:Wish|wish]]'', or ''[[SRD:Miracle|miracle]]''.
* Cursed Bloodline ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):  The Granling Curse was bestowed by ancient archmagic, and thus no mortal magic can undo this change and restore them to their former selves. ''[[Polymorph|polymorphing]]'' and ''[[SRD:Shapechange|shapechange]]'' won’t allow a granling to assume [[Aroghin (3.5e Race)|aroghin]] form.
* Dense Mind ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):  +2 to resist mind control or mind effecting abilities, skills or spells, such as dominations, diplomacy and charms.
* Fear Mastery ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):  Granlings gain a +2 bonus to resist fear effects. They have little reason to fear with such dim minds and great brawn. This bonus stacks with the Granling’s Dense Mind bonus when appropriate.
*Slow Healing ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):  A granling has a natural [[SRD:Healing|healing]] rate half as fast as other common races. They heal only 1 hit point per 2 HD for a full 8 hours of rest.
*Racial Bonus:  +4 on [[SRD:Intimidate Skill|Intimidate]]. Granlings are bold and create a presence that demands attention. This bonus is not applicable against [[Aroghin (3.5e Race)|aroghin]], who are conditioned against their lesser brothers.
* [[Automatic Languages]]: Aroghin.  [[Bonus Languages]]: Any non-secret. 
* [[Favored Class]]: [[3e Favored Class::Any]].
* [[Level Adjustment]]: [[3e Level Adjustment::+0]].
* [[Base Effective Character Level]]: [[3e ECL::1st]]
