![]() While not wearing armor, your Armor Class is 13 + your Constitution modifier. Ursines range from the side of regular medium to the larger end, though none too large.

Ursines are ready to go to war over a legality, and they are always on the side of the law, even if the law itself is not always entirely justified. As with any society, benevolence may not always be the intended outcome there are those who use law as a means of power and control. However, the ursine obsession with law does not come without controversy. The Elder Magisters collectively form the executive, legislative and top judicial authority in their nation. Many ursine lawspeakers, or candid judges, can be found on the road, travelling from community to community learning about local jurisprudence and practicing their trade in arbitration to any in need (and sometimes to those who did not seek it). They are heavily involved with law and order at all levels, from local regulations to galactic governance. Law is the primary ursine export, coming in forms of precedents and books, as well as proctors for law exams to find fitting members for the judiciaries of other societies. The legal wisdom and neutrality displayed by ursine judges is universally recognized, so their advice and arbitration is regularly sought by other legal professionals. The ursine government is a meritocracy, or rule by the judiciary. It is therefore no surprise that there is a growing regard for ursine elders within the world, and the younger races will often go to them for advice and insight. While an individual may have less than average intelligence compared to other race, the weight of wisdom and experience harnessed over the years can become exceptional. Finding individuals who are several centuries old is not at all unusual. The ursines also have an astonishing longevity. This is a challenge that some individuals willingly embrace, as they can be found in the most unlikely nooks throughout the galaxy, even being sighted on places like the moon. Their survival ability is such that it is possible to find ursines in even the most inhospitable places. They thus build much of their civilization in the colder north, along giants and orcs of the Spine. Covered in coarse fur, ursines are most at home in cooler climates and thin atmospheres. Massive, strong, and possessing a fearsome fortitude, this omnivorous race evolved from bear-like ancestors. The fey bear's blood dominated much of the appearance aspect. This resulted in an intelligent species that eventually lost its fey blood a bit and took on a more beastly lineage, who are the ursines. These fey bears mated not only with local bears, but also humans. It is believed they hailed from bears that were originally fey which came through from the Feywilds around the time elves appeared in the Prime. ![]() Not much is known, except by the ursines themselves, about the history of this race. ![]() ![]() Their eyes are usually some dark color like brown, though dyes have been used. ![]() Their facial fur is particularly long and shaggy, occasionally giving them the grizzled beard appearance.
