.: Help for species

species represent the type of creature someone is. All players are human.
Non-human species exist as NPCs and creatures in the world of Gaius.

Each species has a distinct body plan that determines what mutations can take hold. A wolf
cannot grow extra arms; a snake cannot have extra legs; an ice elemental's crystalline form
cannot grow skin that camouflages. Some species also have natural traits that behave like
baseline mutations — a wolf's tail, a vampire's regenerative tissue, an ascended being's
resistance to magic. These intrinsic traits stack with any mutations the creature acquires.

Species are affected by Size:
    Small  - 1-Handed weapons require 2 hands. 2-Handed weapons cannot be used.
    Medium - Can use 1-Handed weapons with a shield, and sometimes dual-wield.
    Large  - 2-Handed weapons require 1 hand. Can sometimes dual-wield 2-Handed
             weapons.

Here is some useful species detail:
