I don't have internet yet since I've moved. It may be up to a month until I do. Anyway, since I have all this free time and my computer is still pretty new and has no real games on it I've been playing the one game I downloaded for it, Dungeon Crawl. I don't know if anyone has ever played it, but it's based on the old NetHack and it's the hardest game I think I've ever played.

Anyway, it has racial skill adjustments, which you can see here...

Basically every skill has a % is raises by, which is 100%, and each race has its own modifier. For instance since merefolk are adept with stabbing weapons, since an axe wouldn't be effective underwater, they have 50% for spears, which means it would skill up twice as fast. Most are 80-120.

Anyway, I really like this system. I wonder how difficult it would be to adapt to RoH.
