And it's pretty much set in a custom universe specifically created for the RP.

However, Characters will be able to choose from one of six races: Centaur, Elf, Dwarf, Halfling, Half-Orc and Lizardmen. Each race has three inherent abilities unique to that race and each character can pick two of them. For example, the Lizardmen have the Dry Skin, Tough Scales and Natural Hunter abilities. Dry Skin allows them to heal themselves in water at the cost of taking double damage from fire, Tough Scales gives a natural bonus to armour and Natural Hunter allows them to take one of the Hunter class abilities for free.

There are then 9 classes: Fighter, Barbarian, Knight, Hunter, Thief, Rogue, Hedge Mage, Wizard and Sorceror. Each class has two abilities that a character can pick one of. For example the Hunter has the Bowman and Trapmaster abilities. Bowman makes the character superior at range whilst slightly inferior in close combat, whilst the Trapmaster can use whatever is on hand to create a trap that can be lethal to anything that passes through it (including other characters who forget where the trap is) but is slightly worse off when it comes to actually fighting. Both of the Hunter's abilities limit what type of armour they can wear to either Light armour or Clothing, which gives less protection than, say Plate armour but gives the character more maneuverability, which may be useful if you're trying to be acrobatic or dodge something.

I wanted to make the RP as open-ended as possible so if others want to either do another dungeon crawl with their characters or create a new adventure or whatever, they could. I guess the story for this one could be:
'A group of (relatively) new adventurers have decided to band together and defeat Parnax, an ancient Dragon said to be hoarding a vast array of treasures that could make them very rich and famous. However, Parnax's lair is at the bottom of the treacherous Bore-hole, and the only safe way down on foot involves traversing through multiple chambers and caverns that various monsters now call their home.'

Who had way too much fun creating a backstory for the RP.

P.S If you want to come up with new ideas for Races/Classes let me know and I can give you a list of all the existing one's and their abilities so they don't clash, and yes there are no humans atm, I'm not sure if I want it to stay that way or not.
