Man — Strength of the Flesh

Men gain a +3 racial bonus to all Climb and Swim checks, and a +2 racial bonus to other Strength-based checks (including Strength ability checks) and fortitude saves. When a Man takes 10 on these checks, he treats the roll as 13 instead of 10.

When Fatigued or Exhausted, a Man reduces the associated penalty to Strength (but not Dexterity) by 2. In addition, Men can gain muscle more rapidly than other races, and shed muscle more slowly as well.
