> i hate pks.....i dont even do it... i just wanna be a sword toting neutral/neutral warrior... 1) If you hate PKs, is CF the right MUD for you? 2) For a neutral/neutral sword spec, I'd either go with: Arial: Best dex in the game, so they defend really well. With flourentine/riposte and great dodging, you're all set. Also pretty smart if you don't want to spend a lot of time practicing. Flight is nice if you are going for the Village. Out of the possible neutral races, only half-elf and gnome don't strike me as being particularly good warriors. Felar shouldn't be sword specs for obvious reasons. Any of the other five could work. Pick one you have a good RP hook for, and give some thought as to sphere/cabal.
Cloud: Better suited to axe/mace if you ask me, but giant sword specs work OK with flurry and the other offense-based moves. High con and resistance give you lots of hp's to make up for your lower defense a bit. Ditto on the Flight.
Human: Rank quickly, medium at everything, no vulns, solid strength.
Dwarf: Tough as nails, but otherwise unappealing to me. There's a reason you see very few dwarves in Thera.
Svirf: Detect invis is a nice freebie if you aren't trying for the Village. Lots of trains means you can end up with a lot of hp. Comparable to dwarves in my opinion.
