The Sarr

Description
It is said that the Sarr were intended to be hunters of the Elven races. What magic or influence made these fierce warriors the bipeds they are now? That knowledge may be lost in time, but whatever the case, Sarr are awesome combatants with Swords and Magic alike. The heart of a predator brings forth extreme emotions, and a Sarr can channel that energy to do many things. Whatever Class you decide to be, a Sarr can help bring you to the next level of Role-playing. Sarr are not extremely long-lived, reaching a typical old age of about sixty human years. Most Sarr hail from the land of Jahavra.

Make-Up and Costuming Requirements
A Sarr is a humanoid, bipedal version of any of the great jungle cats. Prosthetics, furry ears, make-up, and fur are all allowed as part of a Sarr costume. Make-up is the key here, and it must be clear what type of cat is being represented. Because of possible confusion with a Drae character, anyone wishing to play a black panther must have the costume pre-approved by his or her Race Marshall to avoid confusion.
Inherent Advantages
Because of their bestial nature, Sarr get +2 Starting Body Points and +10 to Maximum Body Points. Sarr have a cultural love for combat and especially bladed weapons. The blade represents the claw to them, and they are taught its ways from childhood. Because of this affinity, Sarr may purchase the One Handed Edged skill for half cost (round up). Sarr have very acute senses, most especially the sense of smell. If a Sarr smells or 'sniffs' an object or person for 10 seconds he or she can detect the presence (not the type) of an ingested/applied Alchemical solution or Poison; they may also detect non-magical Diseases. Due to this they can purchase Poison Lore skill at half cost, rounded up.
Inherent Disadvantages
Sarr believe that bladed weapons are superior to all others; they have an inherent disgust for Missile Weapons and Blunt Weapons, cite their use as cowardly, and cannot use them. Sarr have a deep dislike for Elves, and typically will not involve themselves in Elven matters. It is, however, a surmountable flaw and Sarr can overcome it. (Note, domestic house cats may NOT be Sarr. Anyone interested in representing a house cat must do so with the Wilder rules).
