Humanoid

Humanoids are person-shaped creatures built on a basically human body: upright, with a human-like head, torso and limbs, and hands (or something like them) suited to tools, weapons, gear and buildings. They usually have language and culture. Most are humans, near-humans, or people whose bodies, bloodlines or descendants have been changed by wild magic, mutation, corruption, environmental change, supernatural influence or inherited instability.

Senses: normal unless a mutation says otherwise.

Mutations

Humanoids have no subtypes. Instead they can carry mutations, the same ones player characters can have, used as Identity Traits: a mutation and one associated maneuver are a single Build Selection. Extra mutations can be taken, but each counts toward the adversary's selections. A plain humanoid, or one whose mutations are only cosmetic, doesn't spend a selection on a mutation; spend it on another Role maneuver or, if the concept needs it, a Generic maneuver.

Second type: a Humanoid can also have a second Creature Type, choosing that type's subtype traits by the same rules as multiple subtypes.
