Ursakin
The largest (physically, not population wise) of the the friendly tribes of beast kin, the ursakin are said to be among the most fearsome allies of the Lord. Although not formally Christianized, the Ursakin tend to believe in a mixed Religion which is based on Christian ideals but allows for many of their ancient traditions. This is satisfactory for the forces of the Lord to accept their help, as the Ursakin also have a long standing grudge with the forces of the adversary, who slaughtered most of their tribes during the invasion of Germania. The bear-like Ursakin may be fighters, rangers or druids.

Ursakin tend to stand about as tall as men, but are much bulkier (weighing roughly twice as much, but carrying the weight evenly distributed all over their body - much like large dwarves). Their skin is always fair, but is hidden behind long brown or black hair and an even longer matching beard. Ursakin also sport a prodigious amount of body hair.

Ursakin are dangerous fighters, even bare-headed, and can swat at an opponent with enough brute force to cause 1d6 damage. Thier hands however, are mishapen and resemble paws - which restricts Ursakin to small or medium human weapons. Medium human weapons must be wielded in two hands, or are used with a -2 penalty. Also, because of their build they must pay an extra 20% to have clothing and armour made to fit them. Their naturally tough hides lend them a natural AC of 8. Their strength is quite considerable (+2 STR) but they are perhaps not the mentally swiftest ally of the Lord's forces (-1 INT) and their odd natural habits tend to make them less than amicable (-1 CHA)
