Choosing a Race
See Choosing a Race.
Faction Alignment
A brief explanation:
- Races that are Good can typically enter other Good cities without being attacked.
- Races that are Evil can typically enter other Evil cities without being attacked.
- Neutral races can typically enter any city, and Good/Evil races can typically enter theirs.
- Iksar are hated by every race, and other races will likely be attacked upon entering their city.
- There ARE other factors, including Deity and Class choice, completed quests, etc.
* Listed below are all of the innate (non-skill) racials: *
Barrel Roll
Male Dwarves have a unique jump animation, and while it is purely cosmetic (ie. has no in-game benefit), it is pretty cool.
Frontal Stun Immunity
Ogres cannot be stunned from the front, which gives them an advantage over other races.
- Enemy attacks can still push you backwards, which will interrupt your spell casting.
- Tip: You can stand in a corner to avoid being pushed back.
- Enemy attacks still have a chance to interrupt on hit. This chance is increased on some attacks such as bash.
Steadfast Will is an AA you can purchase that gives you Stun Immunity.
Increased Armor Class
Iksar start with a +15 AC bonus (+17 if they are a Warrior) over other races, which scales with level, increasing up to a maximum of +35.
Increased Consumption Rate
Barbarians, Halflings, Ogres, and Trolls all consume one unit of food and drink every 30 mins, while the remaining races consume one per hour.
Increased HP Regeneration
Both Iksar and Trolls have higher HP regeneration rates (per tick):
| Other Races | Iksar/Troll | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standing | Feigned | Sitting | Level Range | Standing | Feigned | Sitting |
| 1 | 1 | 2 | 1-19 | 2 | 2 | 4 |
| 1 | 1 | 3 | 20-49 | 2 | 2 | 6 |
| 1 | 1 | 4 | 50 | 2 | 2 | 8 |
| 2 | 3 | 5 | 51-55 | 6 | 8 | 12 |
| 3 | 4 | 6 | 56-59 | 10 | 12 | 16 |
| 4 | 5 | 7 | 60 | 12 | 14 | 18 |
A "tick" happens every 6 seconds (server side).
- It does not matter whether you are sitting or standing between seconds 1 and 5, only the 6th second.
Infravision
Slightly improved night vision, but not as good as the Dark Elf's Ultravision. Has a slightly reddish tint.
Ultravision
- See also: Ultravision (Spell)
Extremely improved night vision, better than Infravision. Ultravision has a slightly purple tint to it.
