Player Handout 1: Feeling a bit odd…

HUMAN
You feel somewhat queasy, like you accidentally ate something a mynock had slimed. You don’t hurt, you just don’t feel… good. Nausea is still a step beyond what you’re experiencing, but it’s not a big step. Fresh air sounds like a good idea.

SULLUSTAN or TRANDOSHAN
It’s like someone dipped you in a vat of bantha lard. Your skin just feels… ick. Very unpleasant. You want to wash, but even when you wash, it still doesn’t feel like you’re clean. Not for long, at least. Fresh air. Yum.

CEREAN
You feel bad. You feel good. Your brain can’t decide how it feels. You think you might have a low-grade fever… but only in one lobe. You’re very thirsty.

TARASIN
You’re turning yellow. It’s not a happy yellow. You’re also seeing spots. They came on slowly, and now they’re pulsing in time with your heartbeat. You can ignore them, for the most part, but whenever you start to get worked up the spots get brighter.

WOOKIEE
You itch. Boy, do you itch. Ever want to just start pulling out big handfuls of fur to get at the itchy skin underneath? Well, you do now. Of course, if you actually DO pull out a handful of fur, it would hurt. A lot. You know what really itches? Your lungs. That can’t be good. You also feel a huge cough coming on – though it might be a hairball.

KEL DOR
You’re wearing a breathing mask already, and are just happy it survived the EMP. Everyone else around you is acting a little strange, though. Which is, in Cularin, not all that unusual.

RODIAN or DUROS
You never thought it could be possible, but your eyes are cold. How do eyes get cold? Do we even have nerve endings in our eyes to tell us things like that? You’re also feeling a little congested. Something’s not right here. Not right at all.

TWI’LEK or ZABRAK
You have produced an unseemly quantity of saliva over the past few minutes. At first, it seemed like nothing, but now… now, it’s getting hard to speak, because of all the liquid in your mouth. Do you need a respirator, or an aquata breather?

ITHORIAN
You feel downright spry! So much energy, so much to do, so little time! Is it odd? Well, maybe a little – but who cares!

GUNGAN
Yousa not so sure about dis Tilnes place. Itsa bombad, yousa tink. And deesa peoples… deysa not knowin’ what deysa doin’! All runnin’ around and talkin’ and doin’ tings – why deysa not askin’ yousa for helpin’? Da only peoples here dat’s got any sense at all is da peoples yousa comin’ wit. Everyone else is bein’ incompetent!

BOTHAN
You have a curious desire to share secrets with other people – and not charge for it. With some work, perhaps you can do this without revealing too much of your own history, while telling plenty about other people you’ve met… but does it really matter? Oh, my… perhaps you should get some fresh air. Those just aren’t normal thoughts.

OTHER SPECIES
GM’s option. Be creative (the Ortolan may have a craving for diet pills), but kind – don’t abuse the heroes TOO much!
