	The Ursoi first appeared in the Dragonlance [[splatbook]] "Otherlands", for [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]]; here, they were described in very brief and vague terms as a primitive, tribal society of hunter-gatherers - with an emphasis on the hunting aspect, since they prefer meat to all other food, despite being omnivorous. After this, they fell into obscurity until [[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition]], where the 3.5 splatbook [[~~Races of X\|~~Races of Ansalon]] gave them far greater detail.

	Ursoi look like intelligent, bipedal polar bears. They wear some clothing and use tools, and they have thick, clawed fingers instead of paws. Ursoi fur is striped in places, usually in patterns along the sides of their heads, distinguishing them from one another. An ursoi male can reach a height of ten feet and weigh well over 800 pounds; females are only slightly smaller. Though they can understand the various humanoid languages of Krynn, their vocal chords are unable to form them, and so they rely on a combination of their own language of bear noises, body language, and sign language to communicate both with each other and with other races. Ursoi names are bold, gutteral, and almost impossible to pronounce unless you’re an ursoi. Ursoi who become adventurers usually gain nicknames based on their deeds or else allow non-ursoi to make their best attempt at their ursoi name: Axethrower, Farseeker, Hillclimber, Manhunter, Tuskslayer, and Wyrmkiller are common male ursoi names, while females go by less aggressive names such as Clanmother, Deersinger, Iceprayer, Nightwisher, and Truthspeaker. Quite often, they take on Icefolk names as their human name, and rely on their non-ursoi traveling companions to announce them. These adopted names include Gunnar, Helgard, Lars, Reigvasser, Tornassuk, and Volker.		Ursoi look like intelligent, bipedal polar bears.

	Class Features		Class Features
	All the following are class features of the ursoi racial class.		All the following are class features of the ursoi racial class.
			::Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Ursoi are proficient with all simple weapons, light and medium armor, and shields.
			::Class Skills: Climb, Listen, Spot, Survival, Swim.
			::Feats: An ursoi gains a feat at 1st level and 4th level. Typical choices include Power Attack and Track. After 7th level, he gains feats normally according to his Hit Dice, level adjustment, and class levels.
			::Natural Armor: Ursoi begin with a +1 bonus to natural armor at 1st level, increasing to +2 at 3rd level, +3 at 5th level, and +4 at 7th level.
			::Skills: At 2nd level, an ursoi gains a +2 racial bonus to Survival and Swim checks. This increases to +4 at 5th level.
			::Improved Grab (Ex): At 3rd level, an ursoi who hits with one of his claw attacks may immediately attempt to start a grapple. He does not need to make a touch attack first. This ability works only against targets one size category smaller than the ursoi or smaller. An ursoi who has something in his other hand (such as a weapon) takes a –20 penalty to his grapple check to maintain the hold, but he is not himself considered grappled and can defend or even make attacks against other opponents. See Chapter 7 of the Monster Manual for more information.
			::Scent (Ex): An ursoi has a keen sense of smell. Beginning at 4th level, he can detect opponents within the given range (double range if the scent is upwind, one-half range if it is downwind) and may take a move-equivalent action to determine the direction of a scent. If an odor source, such as an opponent, is within 5 feet, the ursoi can pinpoint that source. Ursoi can use the scent ability to track an enemy by smell.
			::Cold Resistance (Ex): An ursoi gains resistance to cold 5 at 2nd level and resistance to cold 10 at 7th level.
			::Large Size: At 6th level, the ursoi’s size increases one category to Large, and his natural reach increases to 10 feet. He incurs the usual penalties for Large creatures.

'''Ursoi''' are a minor race from the [[Dragonlance]] setting of [[Dungeons & Dragons]]. A race of beastfolk who resemble humanoid polar bears, ursoi hail from Charone, the southern polar region of Ansalon, but migrated to the north pole and aided the icefolk - the human arctic barbarians - against the tyranny of the White Dragon Overlord. Unlike the thanoi, the northern walrus-folk, ursoi are a noble and honorable people... save for the little oddity of their practicing funerary cannibalism.
