Dwelling in warm, dry woodland areas, the Aldans are a peaceful race, feeding on plants and vegetables which they grow themselves. They are intelligent and have evolved a cultural technology and magic use unique to their own. Every Aldan wears a protective pendant which can cast a 2-dice lightning bolt (80-foot range) once every three rounds. The pendant harnesses mental disciplines unique to the species and can only be used by their own kind. The hairy, greenish-yellow, beastly Aldan can pommel twice per round if necessary for d4+3 points per hit. Proud Aldans prefer physical combat since it shows battle prowess, reserving use of their pendants for long-range attacks. The pendant can also absorb the effects of any spell cast upon its wearer 20% of the time, and reflect those effects back upon the user one time. Thereafter, it continues its normal lightning-bolt functionality.
