Wizards and Warriors— Races List

Here are the ten races of the Gael Serran. This page deals strictly with the individual races; for help in combining them to create the perfect character, go to the Class Changing page.

Races

Every character begins in a basic class, and they can choose only one of these. Once a character chooses another class, they can never go back to a basic role.

Appearance	Race	Attribute bonuses	Trait	Notes
	Human	No bonus or penalties	Natural Leader	Humans can fit any role well. Their leadership abilities make them exceptional Paladins. The more diverse the character's interests, choosing a Human begins to make much more sense.
	Elf	Str -1, Agi +1, For -1 Int +2, Pre -1	Quick Learner	Elves learn very quickly, making them valuable in any complex profession. Warlocks, Ninjas and Assassins, Bards, Rangers, and Samurais might enjoy this bonus more than other classes.
	Dwarf	Str +2, Agi -2, For +1 Int -1	War Cry	Dwarves make intimidating Warriors, Barbarians, and Paladins. Other fighters might find the lack of speed bothersome.
	Gnome	Str -2, Dex +2, For -2 Pre +2	Lucky Charm	Any Rogue, Ninja, Bard, or Assassin is well served by the Dexterity bonus and the Lucky Charm trait; however, Gnomes would also serve well as Wizards and Warlocks for the same reasons.
	Pixie	Str -3, Agi +3, For -2 Spr +2	Dodge	Pixies would make better Wizards if they received an Intellect bonus. They do make great spellcasters though. Don't expect a pixie to carry much!
	Ratling	Str -2, Dex +2, Agi +2, For -3 Int +1	Gold Digger	Ratlings have a knack for finding good treasure, making them the best Rogues, Ninjas, Assassins, and Bards. They need help carrying their loot back to town.
	Lizzord	Str +2, Dex -2, Agi +2 Wil -2	Snakeskin	The Lizzord makes a most effective straightforward basher. The penalty to Dexterity makes them less useful as Samurais and Rangers.
	Whiskah	Str -1, Agi +2, For -1 Spr +1, Wil -1	Night Vision	Whiskahs have much of the Agility of Pixies without the severe penalty to Strength and Fortitude. This makes them good in skilled fighting classes like the Samurai, Ranger, and Ninja.
	Gourk	Str +2, For +2 Int -2, Pre -2	Bloodscent	Gourks exemplify the "Me Bash You Good" personification. Don't expect them to cast spells or learn much of the art of the dodger. An angry Gourk can make for an unstoppable bloodthirsty Barbarian, however.
	Omphaaz	Str +3, Dex -3, Agi -4 Int +2, Spr +2	Mana Seed	Omphaaz, despite their incredible strength, make the most natural Wizards and Priests, and Warlocks in turn. The Mana Seed trait only underscores this, as their mana returns quickly. They tend to be very clumsy combatants and thieves, and may only wear armor specially fitted to their huge frames.

 

Gender

Yes, gender makes a minor difference in character creation:

• Males receive a +1 bonus to Strength and to Fortitude, and
• Females receive a +1 bonus to Agility and to Presence.
