Help Index :: Races :: Ents Average Statistics for Ents Height: males about 6'6" - 7'6" females about 6'10" - 8' tall. Hair: Bristly or "twiggy" in earthy tones Primarily dark to light browns, red-brown, sandy-blond and shades of gray and sometimes black. Most ents, but not all, including females have bristly/twiggy beards. Eyes: Also in earthy colors. Blacks, grays, browns and greens predominate though silver and gold are not unheard of. Their iris extends to the edge of the eye (no white exposed). Affiliation: Ents are a light race. Appearance: Ents have craggy, tough skin that is usually a dark brown and looks surprisingly like troll skin (only without the warts, bristly hair, or slime). Ents have wide feet with seven toes on each foot but ents still only have 5 fingers on each hand. Ents tend to have bulky physical forms (unless you've given your character a very low strength and constitution). Ents are not treants and do not have bark, sap or leaves. Optional Advice on Role Playing an Ent The ent is the largest of the humanoids that tends towards the side of light and goodness and, as such, most are slow to anger realizing their great size and strength can cause great devastation and they would not want to cause undue harm to innocents by mistake. Somewhere in the time-shrouded past ents became the primary caretakers of the plants of the ancient forests, primarily the Vaasa, and they usually live peacefully among the elves of the wood. Most ents are slow to speak or act as they have long life-spans and have lived so long tending the great and ancient plants of the Vaasa that they have become accustomed to the slow pace of life, having time to consider without rash action. Racial Relations: After long association with the elves of the Vaasa, ents consider them good friends. Somewhere in the past ents and halfling met and each seem to share stories about the other race and consider each other good folk. Ents find great amusement in watching the apparantly hasty, but good-natured doings of halflings. Ents deal fairly with gnomes and dwarves as they are usually known to serve the forces of light and goodness, though ents tend to readily admit they do not understand these ground-dwelling races. Even while ents recognize that dwarves are a generally goodly people they are quite cautious and sometimes even mistrusting of a race with such a propensity for axes. Ents deal with humans and lizardfolk fairly as well and more frequently than gnomes and dwarves. Most often humans and lizardfolk are dealt with on a case by case basis as both races seem to fall squarely in the middle of the matter of light versus dark. Being a race that so whole-heartedly accepted the tenets of light, ents typically abhor any race that serves the dark (goblins, orcs, ogres, trolls and vyans) and would be hard-pressed to come to simple terms with one who professed to have a goodly nature. In time, perhaps, a member of the dark races could prove themselves to an ent, but far too frequently such tactics have been little more than ploys to wreak more havoc upon ents or elves.
