Races

Race Selection 

The next step in character creation is race selection. There are currently 5 player character races to  chose from.

Each race has racial Attribute modifiers and a racial ability. The races are Human, Elf,  Dwarf, Halfling and Orc

each are described in detail on the next several posts. 

Humans: 

The vast majority of the population consists of one variety or another of humans. The human race adapts to its environment, the racial attribute modifier for human is +1 in any attribute and –1 in any other you desire. The northern barbarian humans have a stronger constitution, while the southern island humans are more  dexterous, and the eastern humans are more intelligent with many  institutions of higher learning. The Racial Ability of Humans is 1 free  skill, this varies from tribe (culture) to tribe. Each human character decides the culture he is from adds 1 to the attribute best represented by that culture, subtracts 1 from another attribute and  picks 1 skill that defines his culture. IE.. Daric is from a nomadic  horse tribe and choses +1 Dex, -1 Cha and riding as his racial  bonus or Hathis is from the magical city of Rostigur and choses +1 Int, -1 Str and arcane knowledge as his racial bonus. 

Human life span is approximately 80 years
