Races

There are currently 9 playable races. The races are Troll, Feran, Faerie, Svaald, Human, High Elf, Wood Elf, Wild Elf, and Elari. Each race has a series of racial bonuses which indicates cultural or physical characteristics that have granted benefits or disadvantages.

Favored Template Each race has at least one Favored Template you may choose at character creation. You may choose a non-Favored Template by purchasing the Favored Template Training for 2 Benefit Points.

Favored Stat Some races have a Favored Stat. This denotes how that race is typically just a bit more potent in that area. A bit more dexterous, a bit stronger, a bit smarter. When players spend points at character creation to purchase that Favored Stat, the cost for Rank 4 is reduced by 1. When players spend GXP after character creation to raise that Favored Stat, the cost for Rank 4 is reduced by 10gxp. See the chart in the Primary Stat section for how the points spend changes.

Troll

Trolls are a hulking rocklike race of warriors. They range in height from 10’ to 12’ tall and several hundred pounds in weight. They have a thick leather hide which secretes a fluid that hardens into a calcified stony armor across their body. They have hard translucent milky white membranes protecting their eyes, no external ears, and pronounced brow ridges. They are supernaturally strong and tough, but have limited ability with magic.
