+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Warlock EXP: 185% | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Warlocks are the front-line fighters in any magical conflict. They | | combine the best abilites of both the Warrior and Mage classes, but as a | | result are not quite as effective as either of those 'pure' classes. | | The Warlock class is quite a powerful one, though, when you think of what | | a good fighter could do with potent magical spells! The King's Battle- | | Mage corps is comprised almost exclusively of Warlocks. They eschew the | | heavier armour in favour of lighter armour, as speed is a necessity when | | casting spells. They need one hand free to direct their ranged spells, so | | they may only use one-handed weapons. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | HP/Level: 4-7 Magic: Mage-2 Combat: 3 Weapons: 1-hand Armour: Leather | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Abilities: None. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | DARK-ELF | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Dark-Elves are not actually a separate race, but are in fact a fanatic | | sect of Elves who believe that the other races of the realm are | | destroying the ancient homelands of the Elves, and must be stopped for | | this. They are the enemy of all other races (save Elves), and will wage | | war with any race which threatens the forests and their homes. They do | | not accept the Elven belief that this is what is meant to be, and are | | determined to stop it. Consequently, they are driven from any already- | | populated place, and so make their homes far from the wooded groves they | | adore. Most live in the mountains, or in caves, and thus have a much more | | pallid complexion than their sylvan brethren. Due to their harsher lives | | they are tougher and less friendly between themselves. Any Dark-Elf seen | | outside of their strongholds is an outcast, one who does not agree with | | the intolerant theories of his people. These may be trusted, for the most | | part, even though they may be a little cold. Dark-Elves are like Elves in | | respect to what classes they excel in. They too can see in the night. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Strength:35 Agility:50 Intellect:50 Wisdom:30 Health:35 Charm:40 EXP:+30% | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Racial Abilities: Stealth, Night Vision | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | GNOME | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Gnomes are distant cousins of the Dwarves. They are about the same height | | as Dwarves, but are considerably slimmer. Long ago a tribe of Dwarves | | made its home on the surface, far from their ancient home. Over the | | centuries this tribe changed, becoming less dependant on their muscles | | and more on their mind. As this progressed, the natural technological | | of the Dwarves was changed into something more refined than metallurgy or | | mining -- machinery. Where an Elf sees a waterfall and thinks of its | | natural beauty, and a Dwarf sees only the precious stones being smoothed | | in its waters, a Gnome plots water-wheels and dams. Gnomes are cunning | | and inventive, always thinking up new plots and trying to devise more and | | more efficient ways to do things. Gnomes make proficient Mages and | | Thieves, because they have the natural intelligence and curiosity needed | | to be a Mage, and the knowhow to get by devices. Gnomes can see fine in | | the dark due to their Dwarven ancestry, as well as a having a slightly | | increased resistance to mind-affecting magic. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Strength:35 Agility:45 Intellect:45 Wisdom:40 Health:45 Charm:35 EXP:+25% | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Racial Abilities: Extra Magic Resistance, Night Vision, Extra Defense | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
