This is part of a series about making a D&D-esque version of Ubiquity.
This week, I stat out the four species not covered in the Ubiquity books. Yes, Desolation does have Dwarves and Elves, but I wanted to portray them in the classical fantasy way. I don’t bother to describe the cultures, beliefs, societies, etc, because these are well known fantasy tropes. With Humans, I tried to mirror D&D somewhat by portraying humans as having no adjustments to their Primary Attributes, but being Skilled and Talented.
