Notes

  1. ↑ Depends on weapon choice and background.
  2. ↑ Starting Dodging is increased to 2 if Dodging apt > Armour apt, otherwise Armour is increased to 2.
  3. ↑ Felids get 4 UC and 4 Dodging, to compensate for the lack of shield.
  4. ↑ Starting skills are random, and try to match starting equipment/spells.

Special

  • Felids, Draconians, Octopodes, Trolls, and Onis receive Dodging in place of Armour. Levels are added irrespective of XP cost (e.g. 1 Arm and 1 Ddg = 2 Ddg).
  • Djinn use their single highest spellcasting/spell school skill as their Spellcasting skill and all spell schools.
