Choose your ancestry.

Eight choices, each with the same net +8 attribute-bonus budget but a different shape, growth tendency, and Health curve. The choice is permanent; check the result with STAT and see every number in the character-creation guide.

Human

Balanced

Broadly balanced, with a modest turn toward insight and presence. A flexible foundation for a build that wants to choose its own emphasis.

Giantkin

Mighty

Might and Vigor with the deepest Health curve, traded against Finesse and Attunement. The cleaver never feels heavy again.

Dwarf

Stone vigor

Mighty, durable, and resolute; less graceful and less socially forceful. Hard to drop, harder to move, at home in the deep delvings.

Halfling

Nimble

Precise and agile on a light frame. What a Halfling cannot carry, a Halfling avoids.

Elf

Grace over brawn

Finesse, Attunement, and Presence, balanced by a looser hold on Resolve. The old arts sit comfortably in their hands.

Wood Elf

The trail's child

Exceptional Grace and sharp Insight on a slighter frame. The forest reads as plainly as a market sign.

Half-Elf

Quick and adaptable

Finesse, Insight, and Presence, with Resolve as the trade. At ease in places that ask for more than one kind of answer.

Dark-Elf

Attuned to the deep arts

Attunement, Insight, and Resolve, paid for with Presence. The deep arts come naturally, but no profession is presumed.

Ancestry and calling

Any ancestry can walk any road. Its equal-budget spread tilts the start and never closes a calling. A Giantkin Wizard and a Dark-Elf Warrior are both supported; pick the pairing that sounds like a story. Meet the professions →
