In Reply to: Idea for Perfection ..Imms - Check this out, please. posted by Someone on October 24, 1999 at 23:34:14:

> Greets. Just was thinking about the various races and intelligence and the perfection of skills. In my opinion, I think mastering spells/skill should be a little more dependant on race than int.

> For instance, take giants and gnomes for example. Yes, a gnome is 'smarter' but are gnomes known for their combat ability? Yet their int is higher so they learn skills faster. Giants are known for their physical combat prowess, yet they learn things like the use of weapons, etc. slower than the other races. Why? Doesn't it make sense that a giant would find fighting techniques easy to comprehend, therefore giving him an edge over the tiny gnome who might not understand the intricacies of bashing someone.. or doing a 'brutal' attack.. or whatever else.

> Here is what I propose: (Edit and change as you see fit)
> Giants - Learn spells and communes slow. Fighting skills fast.
> Elves - Learn magic and, depending on alignment, communes fast or slow. (Drows would find the dealing of pain involved in being a shaman natural, but the healing and aiding of others less.. common. Elves excel at healing) Warrior skills moderate for both races. Ranger skills fast for elves.
> Gnomes - Spells and communes all fast. Warrior skills slow.
> Svirf - Spells slow, communes and warrior skills moderate.
> Felar - Fighting skills fast. Spells slow. Ranger skills fast.
> Arial - All moderate.
> Human - All moderate.
> Dwarf - Fighting and communes fast.
> Duergar - Fighting fast. Spells moderate to slow. Communes moderate to slow.

> Mainly, I may have made this more complicated than it should be, but I mostly wanted to focus on giants, as i find it strange that just because they are not the smartest of races, do not learn fighting skills as fast as other races merely because of their int, but when looking at it realistically, you'd think that a giant would excel as a warrior.
