Here are the different races for the game.<br/><br/>Barbarians: Barbarians are large, muscular men who tend to live in small villages or as traveling nomads. They tend to be fairly simplistic in life, preferring to live outdoors than in the large cities. They spend a good deal of there time training themselves in the way of combat and increasing their own physical superiority. Barbarians are actually the male counterparts to Amazons, though they’d never admit it. Magic is something they distrust and fear. Usually Barbarians don’t leave their home on the plains. However, they have been known to become adventures, but it is not money or fame they seek, only a chance to test their abilities and become stronger through fighting.<br/><br/>Barbarians tend to stand between 6’4 and 7’0 tall, and have broad, muscular frames. Barbarian’s weapon of choice is a two-handed Battle Axe, which allows them to add their considerable weight to the axe's strike. They also favor Claymores as swords for the same reason.<br/><br/><br/>Amazons: Amazons are the female counterparts to Barbarians. In their Matriarchal society, they spend much of their time training themselves. Amazons are known for their fierce combat skills, particularly their excellence in archery. They also spend a great deal of their time learning about nature. Like Barbarians they are a proud race, even prouder then barbarians. Amazons are fiercely independent, and dislike having to rely on others, particularly men, who they tend to feel are inferior. Only Barbarians are viewed with any real respect, do to their fierce fighting skills. However, if an ordinary man, be they elf, half-elf, or human earns an Amazon's respect, they should consider themselves as lucky as that respect is a hard won commodity. Amazons dislike magic, preferring to trust in herbs and other natural medicines.<br/><br/>Amazons tend to stand anywhere from 6’0 to 6’6, and have well-developed and toned bodies. While they are not as strong as Barbarians, they make up for their shortcomings in melee fighting with there impressive archery skills. Amazons usually carry a longbow with them and carry longswords for their melee weapons.<br/><br/>Elves: Elves live in a highly aristocratic society, where the standard of living would be considered to be above average compared to the regular human. Elves tend to stay in their own country, not caring much about the outside world, feeling safe living in their great trees. Elves tend to view the other races of the world as somewhat uncivilized, and indeed, compared to the elven country, they are. However, they do acknowledge that they are necessary for things like trade. Elves are taught in the ways of magic from an early age, and excel in it. If they decide to become magic users, it is not an usual thing. Elves tend to know a great deal about the more sophisticated things, such as artwork, fine spirits, and the like. They also know about nature, even though they don’t live as closely with it as the used too.<br/><br/>Elves are slim and somewhat more fragile then humans due to their bone structure. Because of that fact, they tend to prefer to fight with magic and avoid melee fighting, which they view as barbaric. Elves stand between 5’6 and 6’ tall on average, and posses slim, builds. Their weapons of choice are longbows, and longswords for melee fighting, though as a rule, most elves prefer to simply use magic.<br/><br/>Half-Elves: Half-elves are the offspring of both a human and elf parent. Because of this, they generally take on some of the elven features, namely their pointy ears. However, their body frames tend to be less slim. Because of this, they are usually outsiders, neither welcome in Elven or human society.<br/><br/>Half-elves are somewhere in between humans and elves, not as naturally strong as their human side, but not as graceful as their elven side either. Half-elves tend to stand between 5’4 and 6’0 tall on average. Because of their slim hands, half-elves make for good thieves, and still have some natural skill with magic from their elven side.<br/><br/>Humans: Humans are the dominant species in the world, being able to breed like rabbits and out compete all the other races. I don’t think I need to explain much about humans, as I’m sure the readers know about the human race (if you don’t, you need to get off the computer and go out more  ) Humans can be all shapes and sizes, though humans who stand below 5’0 or over 6’2 are a rarity. Because of there unique ability of adaptation, a human has no racial penalties, but they also receive no bonuses, making them good for any class.<br/><br/>
