Star Trek Andorian Racial Template

[Captain Joy]

Submitted for the forums approval. If I've overlooked something or got something wrong, please let me know. The format is basically how I'm going to present it to my players. I though about having a basic Andorian template with lens for the different sexes; maybe I should have done that?

ANDORIAN [18 pts]

Andorians are a militaristic race....and military rank greatly influenced social reputation. Deploring dishonesty -- and never fighting without reason -- Andorians are nonetheless capable of duplicity. They considered themselves deeply emotional, passionate, even violent; not known for their charity or sympathy, they placed a high value on family. -- Andorian - Memory Alpha

Most Andorians are blue-skinned with white or silver hair. They have two antennae which augment hearing (and balance). They tend to be taller and slimmer than humans and the thaan have a limited exoskeleton. Andorians have four sexes: thaan, chan (“males”), shen, and zhen (“females”). Redundant circulatory systems and a high metabolism allows Andorians to function in a wide range of environmental conditions, but it also makes them more susceptible to metabolic hazards and fatigue from physical exertion.
