Playable Races

Category: Race

There are six playable races in the Kingdom of Drakkar. Each race has unique stat caps that affect character creation and long-term development. Choosing the right race is one of the most important decisions you'll make, since Charisma and Luck are the hardest stats to raise later in the game.

All races can raise stats to 18 (19 for Intelligence) using stat pots found in Nork. The caps below affect character creation rolls only — they determine how high you can roll each stat when creating or rerolling your character.

Bold values indicate stats that differ from the standard 18 cap.

For beginners: City Dweller is the safest choice. You can roll 18 in every stat, including Charisma and Luck — the two stats that are hardest to fix later. Most veteran guides recommend City Dweller for first characters.

For min-maxers: Each non-human race trades Charisma and/or Luck caps for a 19 in one or more combat stats. Since stat pots can raise most stats to 18 later, the real question is whether a 19 in STR, INT, or AGI at creation is worth a permanently lower CHA or LCK cap.

Key principle: Reroll until you get 17-18 in Charisma and Luck. These two stats have very few ways to be raised after character creation. All other stats can be fixed with stat pots.
