Editing Tul'k (section)

=Playing Tul'k=
As one of the few humanoid races on Athas who ''don't'' regard other humanoids as food by default, it shouldn't be too surprising that fans have tried to convert the tul'k into a playable race, despite their primitive natures.

The Complete Book of Athasian Humanoids for [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] 2e offers this profile for playable tul'ks:
::Ability Score Minimum/Maximum: Strength 5/20, Dexterity 8/20, Constitution 8/20, Intelligence 5/15, Wisdom 5/20, Charisma 5/17
::Ability Score Adjustments: +2 Strength, +1 Dexterity, -1 Constitution, -1 Intelligence, -2 Charisma (note: increase Cha by +2 when dealing with NPCs of the same race)
::Racial Class/Level Limits: [[Fighter]] 15, [[Gladiator]] 12, [[Ranger]] 8, [[Cleric]] 12, [[Psion]]icist Unlimited
:::Racial Thieving Skill Adjustments: N/A
::Natural Armor Class: 6
::Movement: 12
::Infravision 60'
::Advantageous Height: A tul'k gains a +1 bonus to attack rolls when fighting a creature of size H or smaller.
::Natural Weapons: A tul'k may make three attacks per round; two hand slams (1d8+1 damage) and one headbutt (1d10 damage, on a natural 20 target must pass a save vs. petrification or be knocked unconscious for 1d4 rounds).
::Oversized: Tul'k have the same disadvantages as [[half-giant]]s; they are penalized when moving or fighting in small areas, double equipment costs due to the need for custom gear, and require 3 gallons of water daily.

In contrast, Terrors of Athas for [[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition]] gives them this statblock instead:
