Player Character Options

There are currently eight race options for player characters (PC) in Forgotten Kingdoms. They are: human, half-elf, elf, dwarf, gnome, halfling, orc, and planetouched. Most of these include subraces (e.g. you may pick which kind of gnome) and only the races show in bold text are available to a brand new player. The other races (and some subrace options) are unlocked through accumulating kismet.

Kismet points are accrued by hours played. You accumulate one point for each hour played. You can spend this kismet on certain race and alignment options (the game will deduct points for these choices); your choices of class and hometown may check your total kismet value, but they will not subtract any points. Please see help kismet for more information on the kismet system. Please see below for the current kismet costs.
