Race Characteristics
Experience Modifiers Each race earns experience at a slightly different rate. Humans are the standard at a 1:1 whereas other races may earn slightly less or more experience per hit. The equation would be <experience> x <XP Rate> = XP.
- Bear in mind that these rates are really just adjusted to equalize xp earns:
- The strength of your hit is a factor in xp earned. A hit that 'grazes' earns less than a hit that 'smites'.
- Each race as a "size", and "big" races seem to do more more damage per hit. So, those races then to have a < 1.00 xp modifier.
So, a giant half-troll may only earn xp at .90 a human, but he's also hitting harder, so it probably equals out.
Conversely, a sea-elf is a wimpy pale slime ball who probably can't hit for crap, so he gets a slight bonus at 1.20.
Native Abilities
Each race comes with a unique set of characteristic abilities, resistances, susceptibilities. The abilities do not need practices/adepted like regular skills.
