 Character Creation | |
| Characters on Arelith: | |
|---|---|
| Race - Alignment | |
| Deity - Class | |
| Gifts - Backgrounds | |
| Mark of Destiny | |
| Epic Sacrifice | |
| Customization | |
| Head List | |
Race represents a creature's bloodline or ancestry. Arelith supports a large variety of Races and Subraces as outlined below.
Introduction
Races are chosen by selecting a base race at character creation, then using the setup dialog for subraces upon joining the game. Gifts can also be chosen to customize characters further.
The multiclass experience penalty has been removed from Arelith, making the racial favored class redundant.
Most subraces have altered statistics from the base race. These bonuses are only applied after creating your character. For this reason they are listed in two different ways below: Stats and "Change to Base Stats."
For example: if you are creating a Gold Dwarf (Stats: Con +2, Dex -2) you will have to select the default "Dwarf" on character creation (Shield Dwarf Stats: Con +2, Cha -2). Use the "Change to Base Stats" of Dex -2, Cha +2 to see how your stats will change after the subrace changes are applied.
