4.12.3 Racial Specialisation

(for Seafaring specialisations, see HELP SEAFARING SPECIALISATION)

Syntax:  RACE SPECIALISATION LIST
         RACE SPECIALISE AS <SPECIALISATION>

After reaching level 10, adventurers with a class may select a racial specialisation to further customise their character. Upon selecting a specialisation, you will receive an additional two points in one statistic at the cost of one point in another. See the end of this help file for an example.

You may view the specialisations that are available to your race at any time via RACE SPECIALISATION LIST. Once you have found a specialisation that you would like to commit to, selecting it is as simple as: RACE SPECIALISE AS <SPECIALISATION>.

Once selected, your specialisation is permanent, and can only be changed via reincarnation (see HELP REINCARNATION for more information).
