Well, I prefer a Dwarf, never played anything else. Simply choose what you like to roleplay with. Klyrosses are cool if you like to be able to fly a bit...

Choose a Kran, they have good defense and strength capabilities, but choose a Demorian for magic. Your choice :P

Kran have really low agility though.


Demorians have pretty good mental stats, but crappy physical stats.  From the way spells seem to work, it seems to me like having mediocre or even low mental stats don\'t hurt your magical abilities too too much.  There is the issue of being in character of course.

what race you choose all depends on what you want to be and what char you want to play. all krans i see seem to be powerlevelers who want to be able to kill with out much effort. there are descriptions of each on the main site.


my favourite race is demorian.
<Rux> i wish i could say that narrows it down, but the internet is one freaky place

Yeah, of the three fighting stats, Kran have a higher average than the rest of the races.  Dwarves come in second.  The half-breed is pretty good as well.



I strongly believe though that how you set up your characters background story is even more important than which race you choose.  For instance, I\'m an elf - but because of the history I choose, I started off with 85 strength, 85 agility, and 120 endurance.  There was a cost though - I only have a level 1 Charisma raiting (yes, \"one\").

I\'ve also found a way to start with level 5 in swords and level 4 in light armour, which is no small deal now that the levelling system is different.

yeah Dermorian rules
but it really depends on what you want to RP, a dermorian barbarian will make people laugh ... Choose the life you\'ll play, and find the race that will suit it better
Edit: welcome to planeshift by the way :)

never ever ever ever ever ever ever call them cats, they\'ll eat your children, even if they\'re unborn. at most they\'re felines, enki\'s menki\'s and fenki\'s
