Races


Some people think that race makes all the difference. I am not one of them. Generally, every race can be used in any guild. I have seen troll thieves, gnome mages, elf warriors, and dwarf priests. The only true difference between the races lie in the racial bonus. What this means is that, from the human average of 13 to every stat the number indicated is added or subtracted. This doesn't make all that much of a difference, aside from it affecting the lowest/highest point you can set that stat. The lowest any stat can be set is 5, and the highest 31. It varies from stat to stat though, depending upon the racial bonuses listed below.

Race	CON	STR	DEX	INT	WIS
Drow	-3	-3	+2	+3	+1
Dwarf	+2	+2	-2	-2	0
Elf	-2	-3	+2	+2	+1
Gnome	-3	-2	+1	+1	+3
Half-Elf	-1	-1	+1	+1	0
Half-Ogre	+3	+5	-2	-4	-2
Hobbit	-1	-3	+5	0	0
Human	0	0	0	0	0
Orc	+3	+3	-1	-3	-2
Troll	+5	+5	-2	-2	-4

There are certain races that are thought of as "best" for certain guilds. These are as follows:

Gnome - Priest
Troll - Warrior
Hobbit - Thief
Drow - Mage


But when it comes down to it, most races will work for most guilds. The only thing to watch out for are the specific race weaknesses and strengths (un-stat related). The strength lies in their special race command, and their weaknesses vary. Listed below.

Race	Command	Weakness	Strength
Drow	Darkglobe	Magic resistance; Light sensitivity	Magic resistance can work for you :)
Dwarf	Depth	?	?
Elf	Directions	Orcs always auto elves, as well as the hounds in Leviatha.	Elves have pretty good night vision.
Gnome	Gemworth	?	?
Half-Elf	Charm	?	Fair night vision.
Half-Ogre	Scare	?	?
Hobbit	Undergrowth	?	?
Human	Tax	none	none
Orc	Warcry	Light sensitivity	Sludge (found in the gob village) can heal orcs; Superb night vision
Troll	Regenerate	Light sensitivity	Best night vision of all the races
