A High Elf starts with one rank in Knowledge
(Academic) and may choose between one
rank in either Negotiation or Sailing during
character creation. They obtain this rank before
spending experience points, and these
skills may not be increased higher than rank
2 during character creation.
• Available Specializations
Specializations available to High Elf characters
are marked with HE symbol.
• Aura of Nobility
When making a social skill check, High Elves
act as if they were of one social group higher
than they really are to a maximum of Aristocracy.
If the character is an Outcast, they act as
a Middle Class.
Dwarf
The Dwarfs, or Dawi in their own language,
are a strong and sturdy species of brilliant
craftsmen and capable warriors. They once
held an empire that stretched from Norsca in
the north to the jungles in the south, which
eventually fell due to centuries of conflicts
with High Elves and continuous invasions of
Greenskins.

cannot increase ranks in Magic (Divine) and
Magic (Arcana) skills.
Halfling
Halflings are a species of short humanoids
dwelling primarily in The Moot and various
other scattered regions in the Old World. They
seem to be joyful and carefree people which,
combined with their small size, makes other
races perceive them as vulnerable.
This is a frequent mistake, as in fact halflings
are agile, quick and relentless in combat and can
throw or shoot projectiles with extreme precision.
They also rarely succumb to the influence of Chaos.
