2. City Giant
3. Dwarf
4. Elder Elf
5. Human
6. Lesser Giant
7. Steel Dwarf
8. Wee Folk
9. World Elf

City Elf:
This is a race that has become acclimated to city life. Because of this the City Elf has become across breed of Elf and Human. This makes the City Elf a bit larger than most elves but slightly smaller than Humans. The average male City Elf is 5 & 1/2 feet tall and weighs 120lbs.

Bonuses:
Agility +2; Notice +2; Speed +2; Mental +1

City Giant:
This race has been living in the city so long that it has become a cross of Lesser Giants and Humans. City Giants are taller and larger than Humans but not as large as Lesser Giants. Average male City Giant height is 7 & 1/2 feet tall with a weight of 300lbs.

Bonuses:
Might +3; Endurance +2; Skill points +2

Dwarf:
This race lives in the mountains. Because of this they have a really good Mountaineering skill. They can be mean if they have to but are very noble and enjoy celebration. The average male Dwarf is only 4 & 1/2 feet tall but weighs 120lbs do to their broad muscular build.

Bonuses:
Endurance +3; Mountaineer +5; Blacksmith +3

Elder Elf:
This race was built for magic. The comprehend the arcane forces so well that they lack any fundamental skills for armed combat. They know that when magic is used properly it is much deadlier than a sword. The average male Elder Elf is 5 feet tall but weighs a mere 90lbs.

Bonuses:
Mental +4; Language +3; Spells +2

Human:
Go look in the mirror. Chances are you may see one of these guys. This race is the most erratic of all. Some are good some are evil some are happy some love war but most think they can go anywhere and do anything. The average male human is just over 6 feet tall and weighs 190lbs.

Bonuses:
Might +1; Mental +1; Endurance +1; Carpenter +1; Combat +2; Skill points +3

Lesser Giant:
This race is one of the most noble ever seen. However their numbers are thinning out as they prefer adventuring alone and do not often find companionship. At one time this race policed the world with quiet swift justice. Now there may be less than a hundred left. The average male Lesser Giant is over 8 feet tall and is 400lbs of hard muscle.

Bonuses:
Might +4; Endurance +3; Ride +2

Steel Dwarf:
This race is also from the mountains. However they spend most of their time deep within mines and so know very little about the world beyond their own cities. Because of their ancestral unity they are very adept at learning manufacturing skills. The average male Steel Dwarf is just over 4 & 1/2 feet tall and is over 160lbs of hard muscle.

Bonuses:
Might +1; Mountaineer +3; Endurance +2; Architect +2; Blacksmith +2; Carpenter +2
