Playable Races in Scarlet Horizons

Races and classes — except in regard to the Shou — are as detailed in Scarlet Heroes and below, and use their class's given attack bonus progression, hit point progression, etc., except that player-characters are created at Level 0 with normal Level 1 hit points and are then promoted immediately to Level 1 where they add additional HP based on class and Constitution bonus. Because PCs adventure either solo or with a single other PC (for a duet of heroes), this makes them a tad bit less squishy, for survivability purposes.
