Default characters

Becuase of the complex character creation process, the game comes with six default characters, each named after his class in French.

Classes

In order to belong to a class, your character should have a minimal value in one or more attributes. After the character is accepted in a class, he receives some bonuses and maluses to his attributes.

A character with intelligence 13 or more can speak any language in the game. Clerics, magicians, and elves always start the game with an intelligence of 13 or more, because of class requirement and class bonus.

Notice that the warrior has threshold requirements on 3 attributes, but no special skills in return; on the other hand, the cleric and the magician have only one threshold requirement, but two special skills. After the initial grinding, all attributes will be in the hundreds regardless of the character class, therefore magician and cleric are the only classes with something unique (the "lightning spell" command).

Class	Requirements	Special skills	Bonus/malus
Cleric	Intelligence ≥ 11	Can speak any language. Can use "ensorceler" (lightning spell) command.	Intelligence +3 Constitution -1, Force -1
Magician	Intelligence ≥ 13	Can speak any language. Can use "ensorceler" (lightning spell) command.	Intelligence +4 Life -1, Force -1, Reflexes -1
Thief	Reflexes ≥ 11	-	Reflexes +3, Protection +2, Life +1, Force +1, Intelligence +1, Beauty +1
Elf	Intelligence ≥ 12 Force ≥ 11	Can speak any language.	Life +3, Intelligence +1, Force +1, Protection +1, Reflexes +1, Beauty +1
Dwarf	Force ≥ 11 Constitution ≥ 10	Can speak Troll language.	Force +3, Constitution +2, Protection +2, Reflexes +1
Warrior	Force ≥ 11 Constitution × Life ≥ 150	-	Force +5, Constitution +3, Protection +1, Reflexes +2

Creation procedure

1. Decide which class you want your character to be.
2. Roll first the random numbers for the mandatory attribues and the starting experience.
3. Then, roll the random numbers for the remaining attributes; leave money as the last one.
4. Add the experience points to the mandatory attributes, if too low.
5. If the class attributes are still too low, restart the process.

Character names

To strengthen the sense of continuity, you can name your character after one of the heroes of Mandragore.

Because of the high-fantasy theme of planet Capella II in Oméga, planète invisible, you could also assume that your Phalsberg character comes from that universe.

Phalsberg	Mandragore	Oméga
Cleric	Syrella the minstrel girl	Venedig the mentat, Idris the girl
Warrior	Torlinn the fighter	Xatal the robot fighter
Elf, magician	Gelth the elf magician	Huzuk the telepath
Dwarf, thief	Podus the dwarf thief	Ormond the mutant pirate
