Born in the shadow, the rat-men are accustomed to tough lives. Sometimes called the nezumi (a misnomer, but one that has stuck), rat-men are forced to carve a difficult life in the streets. However, they have a gift for darkness, and any rat-man with the will and drive to become greater than themselves will find a life off the streets they once stalked the shadows in. Play a rat-man if you want... * to blend into the shadows. * to have a larcenous or villainous streak. * to be a member of a race that favors the assassin, sorcerer, and rogue classes.
