	Attacks: The broken one retains the natural attacks of the base animal, though the damage dealt by those attacks may be changed. Additionally, the broken one may now wield weapons as a humanoid would. A broken one that attacks with its natural weapons and wielded weapons in the same round suffers the normal –5 penalty, as if the wielded weapon were a secondary natural weapon. This penalty is reduced to –2 if the broken one has the Multiattack feat, which can be taken even if the broken one has less than three natural weapons. Obviously, a broken one that is carrying or wielding items cannot use its claw attacks or certain slam attacks. Broken ones are automatically proficient in the following weapons: dagger, sickle, club, halfspear, quarterstaff, shortspear, dart, sling, javelin, throwing axe, handaxe, greatclub, and shortbow.

This template represents a typical Markovian broken one, whose animal origins are readily apparent. From time to time, Markov has managed to produce creatures that are very nearly [[human]].

Unfortunately, these nearly flawless experiments degenerate into normal Markovian broken ones in 6d10 days, as their feral physical traits gradually reemerge.

	Markovian broken ones are humanoid creatures with the attributes of an animal blended in an awful fashion with those of a man. Unlike some broken ones, those created by Markov always have the characteristics of a single animal. Their flesh is covered in [[fur]] or [[scales]], and their overall appearance echoes their original shape in a most disturbing fashion. They tend to be less malformed than other broken ones, though their morphology always reflects the limits of their animal origins placed on the humanoid frame. Thus, a boar broken one has short, awkward limbs, a massive torso, and rudimentary fingers that suggest cloven hooves. Though their appearance reflects a tireless attempt at symmetry on Markov’s part, hideous surgical scars always mar the flesh of his broken ones.
