Sanders are tall, have black hair and yellow eyes. Sanders have low light vision as elves in the PHB.

They were bred to work non-stop, even through the frigid nights, and can operate very well in darkness and cold. Their skin is dark gray or black, as are their eyes.

Amongst humans and near-humans, though, they are very persuasive and political. -2 STR, -2 CON, +2 DEX, +2 CHA, +2 racial bonus to all Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate and Sense Motive checks, speed 30 ft, medium sized.

• Gray; +2 INT, -2 WIS. The grays were not only the working level scientists and supervisors, they were also the Headmen and "Secret" Police during the reign of the Breeders many ages ago. Even today, most other races feel uncomfortable around them, they get a -1 on Diplomacy checks, but a +1 on Intimidate and Sense Motive checks. Grays have also been conditioned to various types of "spycraft" and have been bred to have darkvision with a range of 60'. The grays are somewhat short and slight, with chalky gray skin and dark hair, and with rasping, whispering voices. They are also quick and somewhat twitchy, but their base speed is 40 ft./round.
