races race

There are several races in MULTI MUD. Each race has certain advantages and
disadvantages concerning the affection of abilities.
Strength, Intelligence, Wisdom, Dexterity, Constitution, Charisma, Height
and Weight are in- or decreased only once at the creation of the character.
Hit points, mana and movement points factors are used every time you level.
The stats listed in the table are the maximum values which can be used at
the creation of the character.

The first seven races are 'major' races, meaning those are living in the
realms of Keorangar already for long time, and thus have main places where
they belong to. The other races are 'minor' races, sometimes also called
'subraces', who are not that spread amongst the realms. Because of that you
would normally not encounter a hometown of those races, they are considered
to be wanderers, who stay in the first town they've encountered during their
travels.

There is a help available for each of the races.

For example an elf would make up a good spell caster with the high mana.
The combination of class and race lets you fine tune your character.
VAMPIRES are recommended for ADVANCED multi players only, since they
are much harder than the other classes... (see help vampire)
