Making a eunuch Dwarf, would love suggestions [repost from campaign setting forum]


Advice


Making a Dwarf eunuch, likely used as a guard for women. Presumably in Jalmarey or a similar setting. He'll be a monk, likely master of many styles, or flowing monk. I'll also probably dip into the build-a-monk-workshop in Ultimate Magic.

Anyways I'm thinking of more physical appearance. I've read up, and unlike the media belief eunuch do not tend to be hairless. Actually they are quite the opposite, they tend to never go bald. Mostly due to the lack of hormones that cause male baldness.

Now that doesn't change cultural belief's. I would figure he was bought and raised as a slave. Eventually he would get away, not escape, likely the lord that owned him would either be killed or be shamed and his holdings stripped. His new owner, likely prejudice of Dwarves for being a non-pretty race, would dismiss him.

How would other dwarves see him? I figure he would keep his beard trimmed short, never growing much longer than an adolescent. He likely would not share much with his race and be treated as a child when he is around them.

Any thoughts?


Much depends on when said Dwarf became a eunuch. If he was castrated before puberty he won't have any beard at all, and a high-pitched voice. If on the other hand he became a physical adult first, then there's no immediate indication of the absence of his "family jewels". He'll not go bald so easily, as you pointed out. And there will be a tendency to become fat.

Castrated creatures tend to be more docile and less competitive than their fully-functional counterparts. Your Dwarf has little reason to engage in the social affairs of his race or family, and so may prefer the company of other races, and particularly the women he's accustomed to being around. He'll probably be calm to the point of being stoic, unmoved by insults or threats to himself.

You may want to think of a reason why he's not saving up his money to get himself regenerated.


My best suggestion: Regenerate.

That would be priority #1 in my book.
