The Race of Men can play all the classes; Elves have access to Champion, Guard- ian, Hunter, Lore-master, and Minstrel; Dwarves can begin as Champion, Guardian, Hunter, and Minstrel; and Hobbits can learn Burglar, Guardian, Hunter, and Minstrel.

Stats

Character stats are the basic measurements that determine how effective your character is at combat, defense, and virtual-life in general. Things like armour, weapons, and level make your stats better, while ill effects like poison, disease, or defeat may lower them, making you less effective or more vulnerable.
