Starting Equipment and Skills
Sludge Elves start with the equipment and skills listed for their background, with the following exceptions:
- All equipment is "elven" in quality, where such variants exist.
Difficulty of Play
| Simple • Intermediate • Advanced |
Sludge Elves are a moderately difficult species to play, because of the complexity of the most effective playstyles. Sludge Elves are excellent fighters with Unarmed Combat, but they lack the Unarmed damage bonuses that other specialists like Trolls and Ghouls have. However, their excellent aptitude for Transmutations remedies this, due to its many Unarmed Combat boosting spells (Blade Hands, Statue Form, Dragon Form, Necromutation, etc).
