Revision as of 21:23, 10 October 2012
Initially, all races were planned to essentially be human. This has, since, been revised(with the canonization of Druids as a race). Originally the game included Atayan, Drack, Ebetan, and Rowen. This list is now being revised as new races are created.
Each race gets a few bonuses and penalties to stats and skills that only apply at character creation. In general, race/class combination makes very little difference; race has more impact on play-style. For example: Atayans gain a major bonus to the Comprehension skill. This does not make them better mages, but it does make them better at copying spells out of tomes and learning spells from scrolls. Hence, the Atayan will be able to gather a wider variety of spells than other races.
Contents
Atayan
Atayans, also known as the Mountain People, live on the slopes of the Stormreaver Range. They are the secret guardians of the fabled Library of Arindell, and above all value knowledge.
