| − | Neanderthals are slow in more ways than one, but they are excellent survivors. They are also strongly suited for melee fighting, and much less for shooting. They cannot be easily identified at first glance, but if you get in a fight with one, their unique talent for staying upright will soon be apparent. | + | Neanderthals are slow in more ways than one, but they are excellent survivors. They are also strongly suited for melee fighting, and much less for shooting. They cannot be easily identified at first glance, but if you get in a fight with one, their unique talent for staying upright will soon be apparent. Their genetic complexity is 12, with a metabolic efficiency of +2, giving them a hunger rate of x80%. |

With a lot of work you may get on good terms with them. There is also a small chance for them to show up with [[Empire]] parties, and a slight chance they will appear with [[Outlanders|outlanders]] or [[Pirates|pirate bands]]. You may also see Neanderthals with unaffiliated groups of travelers or during quests. |
