Player Races

THE RACES THAT MAKE UP THE POPULATION OF DRACONIA

The tables listed below show the differences between the races of the Majic Realm. All races have the same maximum points (420) when it comes to their abilities, it is only the distribution that changes. For instance, humans are considered to be the BASE LEVEL and have no additional strengths or weaknesses when it comes to their abilities; other races may excel in one category only to pay for it with another.

HP indicates how many bonus hit points a character of that race receives to his hit points. The more "+"'s the better, while "-" indicates this class is slightly more fragile. For example, a Halfling will generally have the lowest hit points, while a Lizard Man will have the most.

EXPERIENCE: is how much more (or less) experience a player will need to go up in levels as a percentage. The +10% for gnomes means that gnomes will need 10% more experience to go up a level than a human would. There is no "best" race, they have all been balanced to have their own strengths and weaknesses. Those that are superior with regards to others as far as abilities, get an experience penalty as compensation. This does NOT mean that all the races are the same. Certain races ARE better in combination with certain classes. It will be up to you to discover which combinations work best for you.

· The numbers shown above are the max STARTING statistics for these races, which will increase over the game as you gain in levels.

• Night Vision is the ability to see in unlit areas without the need for a torch or other light source.
• Majic Resistant means that members of that race are naturally resistant to the effects of majic, and that there is a chance that a spell that is cast at them will have no effect whatsoever. This protection is personal and does not extend to others in the area.
• Disarm Traps & Pick Locks means that the race in question is skilled with mechanical devices and can disarm traps and pick locks even if that is not an ability normal to their profession.
• Sneak & Hide means that the race is naturally stealthy and is able to move around quietly and hide even if this isn't an ability normal to their profession.
• Fire Hurts & Cold Hurts means that the race in question will take DOUBLE damage from attacks of that type.
• Natural Armor is equivalent to studded leather (9 points) and is cumulative with other armour.
• LIVES: The number of times a player of that race can die (per level) before he loses the ability to come back from the dead.

Available Combinations

For balance and gameplay purposes, these are the approved combination of classes in The Majic Realm:

Dwarves are magic resistant - apparently, so much so that they cannot even cast Sorceror type spells, hence their restriction from those classes.

Lizards are armored and they pay for that armor with a penalty to their agilty - so sneaking is not their forte. To be quite honest, the tail just gets in the way...

And orcs? Whoever thought Orcs could be musical was sadly mistaken. Listening to the tunes of Orcish Rhapsody sung by any talented spellsinger will quickly disabuse you of this notion.

NOTE: Please keep one thing in mind when choosing a character. Although we have made efforts to playtest all the above settings to ensure that game balance is maintained; it is impossible for us to check every combination or permutation of character under all conditions. Therefore, the management of Lemon Drop Games LLC reserves the right to change any of the above data at any time, retroactively, if we feel that there is an imbalance in the game.

Any such changes will be announced in the Majic Realm forum (on Discord, or otherwise), and the reason for the change.
