Race

Every character belongs to one of two origins, chosen at creation:

Chinese characters favor a wide range of weapon types (blade, spear, bow) and a skill tree built around a mix of martial and elemental abilities.

European characters use western weapons (sword, axe/mace, dagger, rapier, two-handed sword, bow) alongside a skill tree built around a mix of physical combat arts and elemental magic.

Your race determines your available weapons and skill tree, but not a fixed "class" — you're still free to build your character around whichever skills and equipment suit your playstyle.
