Anthropophage

Anthropophages are a squat long-armed race with liver-colored skins and long lank hair. They dress in garments fashioned from bird-skins and typically live in small, rude huts. Despite their primitive existence, they appear sleekly wellfed due to their habit of putting strangers to succulent use, often in the form of soup. Anthropophage villages do not have chieftains, as they practice a democratic distribution of food; instead they may designate the most experienced butcher or trundleman with 2d8 HD and an attack bonus of +2 to speak for the village. There is a 50% chance that this speaker will have a minor spell-like ability, allowing them to work their fingers in complicated arrangements to build patterns of lassitude, requiring the target to make a DC 14 Will save or suffer a cumulative -1d penalty to actions for each round they remain spellbound.
