BARBARIAN (1987)
Those of human blood have adapted to a wide variety of climates and terrains.
They may choose no more than one "background edge", signifying the environment
in which they were raised. Rangers and druids may not choose these edges, as
their class abilities largely supercede all of them.
Humans and half-humans with the Barbarian edge grew up in one of Thera's
frigid wastelands or frozen tundras. They move through such terrain more
easily and know how to protect themselves from the lingering effects of the
bitter cold. Because of this, they also suffer from snowstorms created by
frost magic much less than most. However, should they find themselves in a
desert or other exceedingly hot climate, the scorching heat causes them more
harm than most.
