-====== Species ======
-Everybody has a different set of attributes based
-on what kind of creature they are. Each species has
-attributes that affect game play; Base Hit Points, Move,
-Hands, Alien Ability, Target number, and whether they
-can wear Armor. There are 14 standard species to
-choose from as well as 4 advanced species and 12
-varieties of beastmen. All of these are described on
-pages 14 to 27.
-===== Base Hit Points =====
-Hit points reflect the amount of damage a character
-can take. You go unconscious when your damage
-equals or exceeds your total Hit Points and begin
-dying when your damage exceeds your total Hit Points
-by 6 or more. Add your Rank and Athletics to your Base
-Hit Points to get your Hit Points.
-===== Armor Option =====
-Some species are able to wear personal equipment
-armor (Humans, Xeloxians, Diploids, Vomegs, Kerbites
-and many of the beastmen among others). Others
-have physiology unsuited for it. It’s a Yes (Y) or No (N)
-stat.
-===== Move =====
-This is the number of squares you can move each
-phase either before or after your Character Action.
-See page 31 for details on character movement.
-===== Hands =====
-This is the number of appendages you have to hold
-and operate equipment that must be in a “hand” to
-be used. You must have an empty hand to operate a
-Battlestation at no penalty.
-Hands Full: You can do stuff even with your hands full.
-It just becomes harder. Consider a human driving with
-a weapon in one hand and an beverage in the other.
-They can still steer with their wrists and knees but
-won’t be as capable as a person with a hand holding
-the wheel (regardless of the beverage). Any action
-with hands full is at a penalty of +3 to the difficulty.
-You can drop things as a free action during your turn.
-Actions using the object in the hand such as a ToolKit
-to repair or MedKit to heal do not incur the “full
-hands” penalty.
-===== Target Number =====
-This represents how easy it is to hit you with
-a personal weapon attack. It is also a rough
-approximation of size. Larger characters have lower
-target numbers because they are bigger targets that
-are easier to hit. Characters with lower target numbers
-have an advantage in grappling because of their
-greater size. Willing or unresisting characters (such as
-the unconscious or dying) are 3 easier to target.
-===== Alien Ability =====
-Each Species has a unique alien ability that
-differentiates it from others. The Rocky Silicoids and
-Carapaced Zoallans block damage. The Tumbling
-Canosians have a bonus move action. Humans
-are more refined in their skill checks within their
-profession. Aggressive Xeloxians deal more damage
-in personal combat as well as being able to use free
-hands as extra feet. Resilient Tentacs get to retard
-damage that they would sustain by rolling an extra
-die and removing the highest.
