Races

There are many races to choose from in EFU ranging from the standard NWN races to specially scripted, application-only EFU subraces. We recommend new players pick a non-application race to explore the world and get to know the server.

At this time, "Favored Class" for subraces does not actually change anything to do with XP penalty purposes.

	Gold Dwarf	No	0	-2 DEX, +2 CHA	As Default Dwarf, Favored Enemy (Abberation)	Gold Dwarves, otherwise known as High Dwarves, are a race of Dwarves that descend from the civilisation of Mount Kulkund, in the north of the Great Ash Desert. Several hundred years ago, a terrible civil war broke the Kingdom of Mount Kulkund apart. This civil war took place between the Gold Dwarves and their once-cousins, now-rivals, the Deep Dwarves. Much of this history has been lost in the chaos of the war, and should be learned about in-game. Gold Dwarves have a natural skill with artisanship and accountancy. They make for meticulous mathematicians and architects, as well as fine metallurgists and precise toolworkers. Gold Dwarves have a cultural taboo against charity, and consider it a grievous insult both to themselves and to their Ancestors, whom they venerate with an almost-religious respect. Gold Dwarves are naturally suspicious of people who use flattery and 'polite manners'; even saying 'please' and 'thank you' could be seen as cunning manipulative behaviour by a Gold Dwarf. Gold Dwarves are exiles from their ancient home, and many long to reclaim it for their people from the Deep Dwarves who defeated and banished them. No Gold Dwarf player character has been alive long enough to remember the war, though some elderly characters may have been infants during that time and remember fleeing with other refugees. Gold Dwarves do not require an application to play, but players should be mindful of their lore when playing one.

	Ashfolk Halfling	Yes	0	(As Default Halfling)	As default Halfling, Immunity; Blindness, Removed Feats: Lucky and Good Aim	The Ashfolk are a nocturnal race of halflings with markedly pale skin and dark black to slightly grey hair. Their eyes are covered with thin sheets of fibrous material, giving them a glassy appearance. They have a long history in the desert as great civilization-builders, administrators, and merchants. These many society-building projects litter the wastes, the most notable of which was a large Caliphate that was a time of great peace and prosperity for the people of the desert. They are the main residents of Baz'eel, Qa'im, and many other (smaller) city-states scattered throughout the sands. The Ashfolk are obligate pacifists. Guards and soldiers in ashfolk cities are almost always selected from among other races. However, this prohibition is exclusively a personal affair. They freely utilize bodyguards, conjurations, mercenaries, and assassins. They have a strong cultural inclination towards charity, though the specific form it takes varies; many, particularly among the elite, make large and extravagant showings of it to others to advance in status. Because of this, bribery is completely acceptable in ashfolk culture. Changing one's stance or circumventing the rules as the result of a generous gift is seen as an appropriate response to 'charity'.
Stonefolk	Stonefolk	No	0	+1 STR, +1 WIS, -2 DEX	Darkvision, Toughness	The Stonefolk are tall, muscular creatures with brown or pale-grey skin. They have no irises, and their hair exhibits as hard, thin strands. They are a people of uncertain provenance, who have long forgotten their origins. There are many competing theories among the academies of Baz’eel, but all that is truly known is that they have been a perennial, if peripheral, presence in the Great Ash Desert for a thousand years. The Stonefolk have no kingdoms, nor do they hold any political power. Instead they are marked with a pronounced melancholy. They serve as stonemasons and labourers, else wander in small groups in the company of their groknaks. Within the cities, the Stonefolk live in Tablets, which serve as enclaves reserved for them. Stonefolk culture is orally transmitted, and their praise-singers are the living embodiment of their culture. While not unintelligent, they have no patience for book learning and are slow and considered in all things. They have a distaste for violence and warfare.
