How to play

Human

Found in every town from Midgaard to Thalos: adaptable, ambitious and quick to learn any trade. No great strength or weakness, and welcome everywhere.

Str 13 Int 13 Wis 13 Dex 13 Con 13

Medium size

Elf

Slender and long-lived, born to the forests. Quick of hand and keen of mind, elves move unseen and unheard - but they are frail in a stand-up fight.

Str 12 Int 14 Wis 13 Dex 15 Con 11

Small size · born with sneak, hide

Dwarf

Short, broad and stubborn as the mountains they carve. Dwarves shrug off blows that would fell a taller folk, and their beards are their pride.

Str 14 Int 12 Wis 14 Dex 10 Con 15

Medium size · born with berserk

Giant

Towering and immensely strong, giants wade through battle where others must dodge. Few doors are built for them, and fewer foes can stand against them.

Str 16 Int 11 Wis 13 Dex 11 Con 14

Large size · born with bash, fast healing

Draconian

Scaled, winged and horned, the children of dragons. Draconians are fierce and hardy, and never quite trusted by the folk of the towns.

Str 20 Int 16 Wis 16 Dex 12 Con 17

Giant size · born with fire breath, parry, enhanced damage, second attack, hand to hand

Unicorn

A people of the unicorn's blood, a pale horn on the brow. Gentle and wise, gifted in the healing arts and in holy magic.

Str 16 Int 16 Wis 17 Dex 16 Con 12

Large size · born with hide, lore, meditation

Vampire

Pale and ageless, fed by the night. Vampires are cunning and hard to kill, and the living keep a wary distance.

Str 16 Int 12 Wis 16 Dex 18 Con 16

Medium size · born with hide, pass door

Avian

Feathered, bright-eyed folk of the high cliffs, with wings of their own. Light and nimble, they see far and strike fast.

Str 12 Int 18 Wis 19 Dex 17 Con 15

Large size · born with fly, infravision, meditation, haste, dodge

Gnome

Small, clever and endlessly curious. Gnomes are sharp of mind and nimble of hand, masters of tinkering and the arcane.

Str 14 Int 12 Wis 14 Dex 10 Con 15

Medium size · born with berserk, hide

Pixie

Tiny and winged, full of mischief and glamour. Pixies are the frailest of all folk and the most gifted in magic.

Str 12 Int 14 Wis 13 Dex 10 Con 11

Small size · born with sneak, hide

Goblin

Small, green and wiry, with ears as big as their appetites. Goblins are quick, sly and hard to pin down.

Str 16 Int 11 Wis 13 Dex 11 Con 14

Large size · born with bash, trip

Troll

Huge, green and tusked, with a hide like old leather. Trolls are slow of wit and terrifying in a fight, and their wounds close fast.

Str 20 Int 11 Wis 7 Dex 13 Con 17

Giant size · born with berserk, parry, enhanced damage, second attack, hand to hand

Faerie

Winged folk of the deep woods and the moonlit glade. Faeries are graceful and magical, and at home among growing things.

Str 9 Int 17 Wis 13 Dex 24 Con 11

Small size · born with sneak, hide, fly

Demon

Red-skinned, horned and tailed, with the fires of the pit in their blood. Demons are strong and feared, and walk a dark road.

Str 14 Int 18 Wis 14 Dex 18 Con 16

Large size · born with hide, pass door, invisibility

Ghost

A spirit that would not leave the world, pale and half-seen. Ghosts pass where others cannot and chill the blood of the living.

Str 16 Int 16 Wis 17 Dex 16 Con 12

Medium size · born with hide, lore, pass door

Wyvern

Green-scaled kin of the wild wyverns, winged and fierce. Wyverns are strong and tough, with a hunter's instincts.

Medium size · born with hide, infravision, harm, gate
