Changes: Races

Revision as of 03:49, 29 February 2016

Every single race that is within the game, with the exception of the player race Rogue and the minion race Skeleton, also serves as a mob in the game.

List of Races

Rogue: Gets a damage bonus when attacking enemies from behind, large search radius.
Kobold: Stats are calculated: level + per level + random x per level. Thus making the Kobold randomly terrible or good at a high level as a result of the Chaotic Learning ability. [source]
Goblin: Has the highest movement and attack speeds; good for hit-and-run tactics.
Orc: Highest attack, doesn't usually run away.
Troll: Regenerates health, doesn't usually run away.
Gnoll: Gets better loot from chests, more likely to find hearts from enemies.
Drow: Infravision allowing sight in the dark and locating enemies, doesn't usually run away.
Cactuar: Damage reflection when hit, doesn't usually run away.
Nymph: Most active AI, has a chance of stealing enemy gear, very cowardly; retreats most often.
Vampire: Steals life when it damages enemies, is Undead, doesn't usually run away.
Werewolf: Never retreats from a battle, can turn others into werewolves, will get randomly stunned.
Mimic: Steals the form (abilities) of the last thing it hit for a time, never retreats from a battle.
Naga: Causes enemies to bleed when hit, doesn't usually run away.
Gorgon: Causes enemies to be stunned often when hit, doesn't usually run away.

(All races below will never retreat from battle.)

Umber Hulk: Can cause confusion in enemies.
Golem: Very slow speed, very high defense.
Banshee: Causes a fear attack, is Undead.
Wraith: Will go through walls, is Undead.
Mind Flayer: Can steal XP and therefore gain more of it.
Rakshasa: Can cause Chaos.
Balrog: Superior combat skills, a little slower in attack speed.
Skeleton: Your default minion, weaker than Rogue stats-wise, bonus from attacking enemies from behind, large search radius.
Husband: Has the exact same attributes and abilities as Rogue.

Note also that Undead races are unaffected by curses. As such, they are free to unequip and/or drop cursed items.

+Every single race that is within the game, with the exception of the player race [[Red|Rogue]] and the minion race [[Minion|Skeleton]], also serves as a mob in the game.
+==List of Races==
+*'''Rogue''': Gets a damage bonus when attacking enemies from behind, large [[Searching|search]] radius.
-A quick set of notes before the list starts:
+*'''Kobold''': Stats are calculated: level + per level + random x per level. Thus making the Kobold randomly terrible or good at a high level as a result of the Chaotic Learning ability. [http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=8467.840;wap2 [source]]
-*You can equip "Faces" to become temporarily polymorphed into one of these races. These faces do '''not''', and I repeat do '''not''', follow the auto-sort paradigm, where the topmost items are the best and the bottom ones are simply not. Faces give you no inherent stats, which is why they will always all be clustered at the bottom. Instead they change your class stats, or your race stats...whatever you want to call it. So do not dismiss them as useless or mere vanity. For me, they were the most helpful element of the entire game.
+*'''Goblin''': Has the highest movement and attack speeds; good for hit-and-run tactics.
-*Besides the races that never retreat, you also have races that virtually never do, which will also serve as good frontline defenders. These include: Orc, Troll, Drow, Cactuar, Vampire, Naga, Gorgon. They don't necessary all have the stats to be good tanks, but at least they won't suddenly run away.
+*'''Orc''': Highest attack, doesn't usually run away.
+*'''Troll''': Regenerates health, doesn't usually run away.
+*'''Gnoll''': Gets better loot from chests, more likely to find [[hearts]] from enemies.
