RACES

There are currently 17 different races that a player character may select. The races are DWARF, ELF, GNOME, HALF-ELF, HALF-GIANT, HALFLING, HUMAN, MINOTAUR, PIXIE, TRITON, ULDRA, DRAGONBORN, TROLL, PLANEWALKER, TIEFLING, WEMIC, and LIZARDKIND. Each race holds different powers that set them apart from the others.

RACIAL PRACTICES

Humans and Half-Elves receive a special practice session as an innate, racial bonus. These practice sessions may not be utilized until a character reaches level 25. In addition to the minimum level requirement, spells and skills acquired through this process are reset should a player reach level 40 and choose to rebirth their character back to level one. A final key piece of information must be understood: Each spell and skill will be practiced up to a maximum proficiency which often differs from one another, but always falls beneath the maximum proficiency a character of the spell or skill origin class would be able to train towards. This means that once you practice a skill with racial practice points, it will never improve unless it is in your class tree and you practiced it at your guild. ================================ =================================== | Skill | Proficiency | | Spell | Proficiency | |==============================| |=================================| | Bash | 60 | | Aid | 60 | | Detect Trap | 40 | | Airwalk | 80 | | Disable Trap | 40 | | Armor | 80 | | Iaijutsu | 80 | | Befriend Dryad | 40 | | Kick | 80 | | Identify | 80 | | Meditate | 80 | | Infravision | 80 | | Pick Lock | 40 | | Knock | 80 | | Rescue | 80 | | Locate Object | 50 | ================================ | Phase Door | 80 | | Poison | 80 | | Sense Life | 80 | | Sleep | 60 | | Spook | 80 | | Strength | 80 | | Vigorize Light | 60 | | Vitalize Mana | 70 | ===================================

RACIAL TRAINER

Racial trainers for the Human and Half-Elf special practice sessions are located at the Tree of Knowledge in Bonne Terre. Each trainer specializes in skills from one of the four major class branches, and their respective skill knowledge me be accessed by typing, "List," in their individual rooms. Should a player decide to expend a racial training session point to acquire the knowledge offered by a trainer, the, "Buy," command must be utilized. Example: Buy 6.
