Note the difference between 'suggested' and 'alternate' race. Notice that characters with Magic Powers have the lightest armor (lark, wizard, alchemist, druid), and dexterous characters have the second lightest one (thief, illusionist, barbarian). A lark with 99 INT, for instance, has access to every Magic Power spell up to cleric. Characters indicated to have half of a system of magic only gain half as much MP, and therefore, half as many spells. If you have a cleric with 20 WIS, for instance, then she has access to every Will Power spell up to Rise. (Total INT and WIS values, depending on which system of magic they use). Professions automatically gain access to spells, depending on their total MP. In my experience, the thief is much better at disarming traps.ĭEX bonus determines how effectively a character may disarm traps when opening a chest, and each chest has a ~50% chance of being trapped. Other sources claim that the converse is true. manual specifies that the thief has no DEX bonus, while the wizard has a superior DEX bonus. Notice that there is good agreement between the functional attributes and the main attributes of the default races. The attributes (STR, DEX, INT, WIS) in brackets next to the default race show those that can be raised to 75 or 99. The attributes (STR, DEX, INT, WIS) in brackets next to the function show what's important for that character. Choosing the right combination is mostly important for magic-users, as those with low ] or WIS have access to fewer spells. The race of a character simply determines the limit of their major attributes, while profession determines which equipment and spells are available to the character. When you create a character, you will need to choose a race, then a profession. (unless you venture into a deadly dungeon) If you swap your high-level characters for low-level characters, then your party will only encounter weak enemies.

This feature will come in handy when you need to train new characters, because the power level of monsters that appear on the surface world depends on the level of your party. (as many as 20 characters total) You mayįreely swap characters between your roster and your adventure party by returning to the character creation menu and selecting 'FORM PARTY.' In the character creation menu, you'll have the option of creating your own characters, or having the computer generate 'READY-MADE' characters for you, which produces fairly good results An adventure party will consist of four characters at a time, although you may still create and store additional characters in a character roster. Their quest: to return peace to the kingdom. 'Lord British has sent out a call across time and space in search of four valiant warriors.

Mondain and Minax have cast a spell on Exodus, this island of fire, and the little-known island has started volcanic activity.' Little is known of the evil that dwells there. Rumors abound about a fiery island which has emerged in the southwestern seas. Now, the kingdom is about to face its third crisis. 'The Kingdom of Britannia entered into a peaceful state for another twenty years. Minax had power to sway the time axis of the universe however, a legendary hero again came to the rescue, overthrew Minax. Minax, the witch, a disciple of Mondain, became very powerful and ruled the world of darkness. 'Britannia survived the first crisis, but peace in the Kingdom of Britannia did not last long. A valiant warrior was called forth from another world by Lord British. Under his horrible rule, the people's lives were devastated. The ringleader of this political instability was Mondain, the magician. A few years ago, there were political upheavals among the city states of the kingdom.
