*See Rulebook for an overview of the NERO rules and Official 8th Edition Errata

I. Who am I?

First, you will pick a race. Will you be a care-free gypsy? Perhaps a stalwart dwarf or mischievous Hobling better suits your tastes. A fulll list of races to play is found in the rule book. In the end, you will have ties to the most legendary of your kin.

Second, you will pick a class. An elf you say? Well, what do you do? Are you an elven Rogue? Magicks have always suited all sub-cultures of elf-kind. Now, will you cast from the Energies of the Earth...or from those of the Celestial? Your part in the unfolding of Fengate will hinge upon your occupation, your class.

Third, you will select your skills. You have set out, a Half-Ogre new to the Way of the Warrior. The skills in weaponry and combat will help ensure your safety in a world where your kind, more oft than not, is met with open hostility.
