CREATING A CHARACTER:
DIFFERENT CHARACTERS HAVE DIFFERENT CAPABILITIES. IF THIS IS
YOUR FIRST TIME PLAYING, YOU SHOULD PROBABLY SELECT THE RACE
OGRE AND THE CLASS FIGHTER. OGRE-FIGHTERS TEND TO BE EASIER TO
KEEP ALIVE. WHEN THE COMPUTER ASSIGNS YOUR CHARACTERISTICS,
YOU WILL HAVE THE OPTION OF KEEPING THOSE NUMBERS OR TRYING
AGAIN. YOU MAY KEEP TRYING AS LONG AS YOU LIKE. A HIGH
STRENGTH OF 25 OR 30 HELPS A LOT IN THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME.
ADVANCED PLAYERS WILL FIND MANY INTERESTING COMBINATIONS SUCH
AS IMP-WORSHIPERS, OGRE-MONKS, HUMAN-MAGES, ETC. EACH ONE
OFFERS ITS OWN SPECIAL CHALLENGES AND ADVANTAGES.
HIT ANY KEY TO CREATE YOUR OWN CHARACTER...
