===Choosing a Race=== | ===Choosing a Race=== | ||
The race you choose when you first enter Achaea is what you are considered to be born as. There are ways to change your race later, all of which involve reincarnation, but we aren't at later right now, are we. | |||
Each race in Achaea has statistics. The most average position any statistic can be is 12. Anything higher than 12 is higher than average, and lower than 12 is lower than average. This is not a bad thing - it all balances out. | |||
Each of these statistics means something. | |||
*Strength is related to how much physical damage you can do. | |||
*Dexterity is related to how well you dodge physical attacks. | |||
*Constitution is related to how much health and endurance you have. | |||
*Intelligence is related to how much mana and willpower you have, as well as how much magical damage you can do. | |||
Many races have racial advantages and/or disadvantages. Atavians, for example, can fly, and grooks can regenerate in water. For examples of disadvantages, rajamalans have difficulty waking up and heal slowly from elixirs, and trolls have trouble recovering balance and equilibrium. | |||
Another kind of racial advantage or disadvantage is tolerance. Horkvali, for example, are more resistent to blunt damage than most other races but are weak to poison damage, while xorani are resistent to fire but weak to cold damage. | |||
The races available are [[Dwarf]], [[Human]], [[Mhun]], [[Troll]], [[Tsol'aa]], [[Atavian]], [[Horkval]], [[Grook]], [[Rajamala]], [[Xoran]],[[Siren]] (female only), and [[Satyrs]] (male only). | |||
