Revision as of 04:29, 23 May 2024

Wookiees are widely recognized as one of the strongest and fiercest intelligent species in the galaxy. Wookiees have many customs and traditions that revolve around honor and loyalty, including the special bond called the honor family and the sacred pledge called the life debt. A Wookiee never uses his or her climbing claws in combat; doing this is considered dishonorable and a sign of madness.

Common Characteristics

Personality: Wookiees tend to be honorable, rash, loyal, and short-tempered.

Physical Description: Wookiees are large furry bipeds ranging in height from 2 to 2.3 meters. See Wookiee Growth Stages table below.

Homeworld: The forest world of Kashyyyk.

Languages: Wookiees speak Shyriiwook, consisting of complex grunts and growls. They understand Basic but lack the ability to speak it.

Example Names: Chewbacca, Gorwooken, Groznik, Lowbacca, Ralrra, Rorworr, Salporin.

Adventurers: Wookiee adventurers usually start out as wanderers or explorers, but some find this path by forming an honor family with (or owing a life debt to) other adventures.

Species Traits

Wookiees share the following species traits:

Ability Modifiers: +2 Constitution, +4 Strength, −2 Charisma, −2 Dexterity, −2 Wisdom. Wookiees are powerful and hardy, but they aren’t agile, tend to be impulsive, and have little patience for diplomacy.

Medium Size: Medium creatures have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.

Speed: Wookiee base speed is 6 squares.

Extraordinary Recuperation: A Wookiee regains hit points at double the normal rate.

Rage:

Weapon Familiarity: Wookiees treat bowcasters as rifles instead of exotic weapons.

Expert Climber: Wookiees are great climbers and may choose to take 10 on Climb checks even when distracted or threatened.*

Skills: Known to pull the ears off gundarks, they may choose to reroll any Persuasion check made to intimidate others, but the result of the reroll must be accepted even if it is worse.

Automatic Languages: Basic (comprehend) and Shyriiwook.

*This trait was originally labeled under Skills but was the same trait as Expert Climber on other species so was renamed to be consistent.
