[QUOTE="Jürgen Hubert, post: 3321048, member: 7177"] A few things from Urbis: - While human society is fairly sexist - similar to 19th century Europe - in dwarven society women are allowed to pursue all the same jobs as men, and indeed there is no gender discrimination when it comes to professions. However, because of the low birth rate of the dwarven race, dwarven women are also expected to marry as soon as possible and produce two children, as well as raise them. This means that the most skilled - and thus most respected - members of a particular profession still tend to be male. - Sorcery is considered to be "a woman's art" because it is driven by emotions and women are supposed to be less rational and more emotional than men. The truth is that because of discrimination women have far less opportunity to study wizardry than men, and thus their most notable arcane spellcasters tend to be sorcerers. - It's possible to travel to other planets in the same star system via [i]teleport[/i] as long as you are in a mountain range near the equator, and some humans have expored the other planets. For the most part, that's just a background element - this still counts as fairly inaccessible. However, one city now has a few very lucrative diamond mines on a cold desert planet, and other cities are contemplating getting in on the act... - Ghouls can attain class levels and sometimes remember enough of their old lives to retain old class levels as well. This makes them fairly nasty - have you looked at their attribute boni? [/QUOTE]
