Races Selections

There are currently two sets of race types available, basic and advanced. There are currently 10 basic races and 4 advanced races.

In addition to having access to advanced races upon reaching level 50 you will also be able to select a Fae touched character, see below for more details.

Beginner Notes

Humans represent the vast bulk of the population of The World and anyone new to mudding in general or to SneezyMUD in particular is recommended to be a human.

The main differences in the races is their particular weight and height (and as a consequence, what items are available for them to wear). Humans tend to have stats only in the average range. This means that they don't excel in any stat, but likewise aren't lacking in any area. Non-human classes vary in their stats. They may be extremely high in one field, but extremely low in another. It is important to know these differences when choosing a non- human race so that an appropriate class for that race can be chosen wisely.

Additionally, each non-human race has various special abilities. These range from infravision to various immunities. Not all the abilities are beneficial, for instance dwarven fear of water.

Please be aware that the vast majority of The World is human. As such is the case, most equipment has been constructed by humans for other humans or by non-humans to be sold to "those dumb humans" (as in, "those dumb humans will pay a lot for a sword this good.") Be advised that if you chose to play a non-human, be prepared for a scarcity of usable equipment. Non-human sized artifacts are exceptionally rare.
