CHARACTER GENERATION PAGE 1
CHARACTER RACE Your character can be one of three full blooded races: Human, Dwarf or Elf.
Or you may choose a half blooded character such as a Half-Dwarf, Half-Ling or
Half-Elf. Half blood characters may encounter NPC’s (Non-Player Character’s)
that automatically hate them. At the same time, fellow half blood NPC’s may
often come to their aid when opposed by NPC’s that hate them. While there are
other races that are half blooded (Half-Ogre, Half-Orc, Half-Goblin) they are
rarely encountered as PC’s (Player Character’s). A Half Blooded character will
have the traits of both races but to a lesser degree. You may roll randomly on
the Table below or you may choose which race you want your character to be.
Humans Humans come in all sizes and shapes and are the most widespread of all the races. They have been know to live and mingle with other races making for a wide range of Half Blooded races. While the other races seem to remain to themselves, Humans continue to spread into the lands of the Dwarves and the Elves. This sometimes causes conflict but most borders are honored and protected by both sides. Humans do not hate any specific race but have a strong dislike of the Orcs and Goblins. Many enjoy adventure and seek out danger and excitement but most prefer to settle down and make a home for themselves. Humans do not have any special abilities and come in both the good and bad variety. They are more agile than Dwarves but not as much as Elves and are more resilient than Elves but not as much as Dwarves. They ride horses and use a variety of vehicles for transportation. The lands unprotected by the Dwarves and Elves are the possible domains of the Humans and they search for it constanly. Dwarves Dwarves are often expert miners and craftsmen, which gives them a greater ability to notice unusual rock formations and understand strange mechanical devices. They enjoy strong drink and gold. They are very protective of their personal treasure and often use traps to guard it while they are away. Therefore, all Dwarfs have some ability to spot and disarm traps and to locate secret doors. They have short stout legs that prohibit them from moving very quickly and are only able to ride small ponies or trained bears. They are a hardy race and resist disease and poison quite well. Dwarves have an ancient hatred for Orcs, Goblins and Dark-Elves and they distrust Elves. Dwarves have been fighting Dark Elves for centuries and see most Elves and Dark Elves as one in the same. Most Dwarves also dislike deep water as they are not good swimmers, if they can swim at all. The Hills and Mountains are the domain of the Dwarves and they guard it fearcely. Elves Elves are quick-witted and eagle-eyed, used to reacting swiftly to the constant movement around them in their natural woodland environment. Therefore, Elves are seldom surprised when encountering other groups. They excel at fighting at a distance using bows and consider their skill to be a mark of excellent character. They enjoy song and objects of delicate beauty. They also have an inherant magical quality that often allows them to become high level mages. They are quick and agile and often move silently through the wooded undergrowth. They ride beautiful horses and unicorns as well as giant eagles. With their quest for life and nature, they oppose all races that seek to destroy it. Elves hate their evil brothers the Dark-Elves as well as Orcs and Goblins. The Woods and Forest are the domain of the Elves and they cherish and protect it defiantly. Lings Lings are very small, simple but quick humanoids, used to playing and frolicing in the wild places. They are never surprised when encountering other groups. They never fight, but always play tricks or pranks on all they encounter. They enjoy laughter and confusion. They are magical and allthough they can use spells they could never become high level mages because they are distracted very easily. They are quick and agile and always move silently through the grass and brush. With their quest for laughter they neither like or hate any race. In many lands they have many names (Pixie, Brownie, Gnome, Leprechaun, Wee One, Faerie, Wisp, Sylph and Nymph) but they are all of the race called Ling. Ling cannot be PCs but their offspring relations, the Half-Ling can be found scattered about the lands. Lings find iron objects to be deadly. Hence they stay away from areas or creatures that wear or have a lot of iron. If iron bearers and located within their domain the tricks they normally play will turn deadly. The most secluded Fields and Brushland are the domains of the Ling and they amuse, frustrate or antagonise all that enter them.
