Notes: Due to the heavy training that young Dzhoor go through, the Dzhoor receive one extra pip for
every die they put into Dex: Melee Combat or Dex: Melee Parry, at character Inception only. The
academic study of the Dzhoor is rather limited in its use. All knowledge skills cost 2CPs extra per
pip, regardless of skill level. The exceptions of this rule are Kno: Cultures, Kno: Bureaucracy, and
Kno: Languages, which advance at 2CPs less per pip, due to the heavy schooling Dzhoor go through in
these areas. The physiological nature of the Dzhoor is very simple and efficient. Due to this fact, they
require only four hours of downtime per standard day.
Description: The Dzhoor are taller and quicker than humans. Rather slender. Dzhoor are hairless, and their
skin is not unlike a soft leather, with coloration varying from yellows to browns to oranges. Their
eyes are usually one color, either white or in the same color scheme as their skin. Their head is
hairless, slightly conical, and they do not have apparent ears or noses. Their mouth is rather small.
They are omnivorous in nature.
Story Factors: The Dzhoor are very ancient. By all means, they ought to be technologically primitive, but but
since they've had so long to advance in the sciences and cultures, are about at the level of humankind.
In regard to the arts and cultures of other species, they excel. The Dzhoor have a very rich and formal
culture, which is feudal in nature. Their society has
a structured but flexible caste system; it is possible for people to move between castes. They are very self-aware, but they aren't very introspective. They don't question the way things are,
but that doesn't mean that they don't know the way things are... there's a certain adherence to Taoism
in how they act.
