Your Character:

When you create a character at MT there are a few things you can choose.
RACE:	Your race determines what kind of creature you are. You can choose to be Human all the way to Half-Dragon. Please see the Webpage for help on Races.
Sub-Race:	Some races let you choose a more specific birthright. With this comes a more focused ability, or innate skill. You cna read up on thses by checking our Web help files for each Race.
CLASS:	Your class determines what kind of skills and spells you will have to get you through your life, it's sort of a calling or profession. You can choose to be a fighter, a spellcaster, a thief or a psionist etc. Please see the Webpage for help on Races.
STATS:	You roll the dice for these much like DnD. Your stats affect you in different ways. Strength determines how much you can carry, how hard you hit, and how wellyou are at offensive skills. Dexterity determines how many moves you gain per level, it also helps with battle avoidance skills like dodge and other specialty skills such as sneak and hide. Constitution determines how strong of life your character is. The higher your Con the more hitpoints you will gain per level. Intelligence is how smart you are. This helps with spellcasting and mana gain each level. Wisdom is how wise you are. This also helps with spellcasting and mana gain each level. It also determines how many skill/spell practice points you gain each level. Charisma is how pretty you are. This helps in various ways in the game such as how much the Blacksmith charges you to repair an item. It's also like luck.

Communication

Once in the game there are many ways to communicate with other players, and sometimes with computer controlled characters. We will deal only with communication between you and the rest of the world.
Say:	This sends your message to the room you are in, only people in that room can hear you, so make sure to "look" first and see if the person you're talking to is actually there, else you're just muttering to yourself. Example: say hello
Tell:	This sends a message to a specific person. You must know their name, they must be in the game, but they can be anywhere in thw world. Example: Tell Tank hello
Shout:	This sends a message to the entire surrounding area. The world is divided into zones, which are usually cities, castles, dungeons, villages etc. Everyone who is in the same zone as you will hear you. Example: Shout Where are you all at?
Newbie:	This sends a message to everyone in the entire world, if they are tuned into this channel. This is a good communication channel to use if you have any questions, someone will probably give you an answer. Example: Newbie Where can I go to explore now
Gossip:	This is another global channel. You can use this once you reach level 5. It's a more grown up way to communicate and you can say just about anything over this channel as long as it's not vulgar or too mean. Example: Gossip What time does the quest start tonight again?
Other:	There are special channels of communication that will become available to you later in the game, like a channel just for Avatars, Clan members, Spirits etc.

Score:	This will display your character's information. Your vital statistics, stats, conditions, points earned and experience among other things are shown. You can use "sc" for short
