#obj/handlers/nroff.c nroffed_file ({0," Player races in the Forgotten Realms MUD: Human: Most players will probably be human. They have no special advantages or disadvantages. Humans are the only race that has no guilds barred to them. Elf: Elves are a quick forest-dwelling race. They are more dextrous than humans, but are not as susceptible to pain. They are good at moving silently and somewhat better than humans with magic. Half-elf: A halfblood human/elf. Dwarf: Dwarves are a stout mountain-dwelling race. They are totally without magical potential, but can be good clerics. Dwarves are much like the mountain they live in: Rock-steady and dour. They are generally quite good fighters. Halfling: Halflings take their name from the fact that they are half as tall as humans. They are very dextrous and susceptible to pain, but are not very strong and world-wise. Orc: Orcs are normally not considered to be a player race, but monsters. They are much the same way here: They are played as monster-players, meaning anyone who wants to kill them may try without fearing any punishment. Orcs are better at fighting than the other races. Many guild will refuse to train orcs due to their vile nature. Half-orcs: A halfblood human/orc. Half-orcs are not monster-players, but share some of the characteristics of orcs, meaning they are strong fighters but not very intelligent. Duergar: Dark Dwarves. Evil inclined money grubbers. Tough warriors and worshippers of Grimbrand. Drow: Dark Elves. Probably the definitively evil race in the realms. They have their own dark guilds covering most of the bases and can join some of teh undiscriminating surface guilds. The trick lies in living that long, the underdark is a tough place, and the tunnels in and out amongst the roughtest of areas. Lizard-man: Standoffish and mysterious. Lizard-men are really only known for their fighting ability. While not able to breathe underwater, they are far better swimmers than any other races and have been seen in mid-ocean, swimming from island to island. A feat which is beyond most other races.
