+			_RACE_
+There are nine different races you can play on MUME.
+Five of these belong to the good side (a.k.a. "whities"). They are Men, Elves,
+Half-elves, Hobbits, and Dwarves. There are also Bears, which are not a
+separate race but shapechanged Beorning Men.
+Three are the evil races (a.k.a. "darkies"); they are Tarkhnarb Orcs, Trolls,
+and Black Numenoreans.
+The last race is the Zaugurz Orcs, forming a side of its own.
+Different races have different effects on their basic statistics, as you can
+see in the table below.
+          STR   CON   DEX   PER   INT   WIS   WIL   AGE

+*) Both Tarkhnarb and Zaugurz
+Age is how slow members of this race age compared to Men. I.e., an Elf ages 3
+times slower, and a Hobbit 1.5 times slower.
+Other than these, there are effects on height and weight and a variety of other
+areas.

+                               _TERRAIN_
+There are mp modifiers based on your race. The 'easier' and 'harder' below
+refer to the Human norm.

+                                 _AGE_
+Age affects a character's statistics according to the following table. The
+change is linear between the various age brackets; so, the modifier for
+strength changes from -1 to 0 at age 21 (midpoint of 18 and 24), and from 0 to
++1 at age 28 (midpoint of 24 and 32).
+Age:   18, 24, 32, 40, 50, 65, 90
+STR    -1,  0,  1,  0, -1, -1, -2
+INT     1,  1,  1,  0,  0,  0, -1
+WIS    -1,  0,  0,  1,  1,  2,  2
+DEX     1,  1,  0,  0, -1, -2, -3
+CON    -1,  0,  1,  1,  0, -1, -2
+WIL     2,  2,  1,  1,  0,  0,  0
+PER     1,  1,  0,  0, -1, -2, -3
+Mana   -5,  0,  0,  0,  5, 20, 40
+Hit     4, 12, 16, 14, 10,  4, -6
+Move  100,150,160,140,120, 80, 30
++Mana   4,  6,  8, 10, 12, 12,  8
++Hit    8, 12, 16, 14, 12,  8,  2
++Move  16, 22, 22, 20, 18, 12,  6
+Your initial age depends on your base statistics: characters more suited to the
+life of a warrior start out younger, those more suited to spellcasting begin
+adventuring at an older age.
+Aging rate depends on races (Elves live 3 times longer etc, see 'help races'
+for more information).

+STATISTICS STATS
+"Statistics" are a set of numbers that describes your character. Statistics
+may depend on a character's level, race, skills practiced, age, and other
+factors.
+Most statistics depend on a character's base abilities:
++---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+|Strength (STR)      Raw physical power. Among other things, it affects     |
+|                    your ability to cause damage in melee, and it sets     |
+|                    a limit to how much you can carry.                     |
+|Dexterity (DEX)     Useful to defend oneself against non-magical damage,   |
+|                    and to perform precision tasks.                        |
+|Constitution (CON)  Health and endurance. A must for whoever plans to      |
+|                    spend much time fighting.                              |
+|Perception (PER)    Eyesight, hearing, smell... It helps in detecting      |
+|                    hidden things and in taking aim.                       |
+|Intelligence (INT)  Memory and abstract reasoning. A wizard's best friend. |
+|Wisdom (WIS)        Common sense. It affects clerical spells and herblore. |
+|Willpower (WIL)     Iron nerves can help when facing hostile magic, when   |
+|                    trying to force your will onto others, and when        |
+|                    performing strenuous activities.                       |
++---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+STRENGTH
+Strength is also a base ability. Among other things, it affects how much you
+can carry (comfortably or uncomfortably) and your prowess in melee combat. It
+also determines which weapons you can use effectively.
+INTELLIGENCE
+Intelligence is a base ability. A brilliant mind is essential for those who
+want to learn complex enchantments; it also helps when learning other skills
+and foreign languages.
+WISDOM
+Wisdom is a base ability. It measures a character's intuition and common sense.
+It is the most important ability for those who rely on clerical magic; it also
+affects one's ability to mix potions successfully.
+DEXTERITY
+Dexterity is a base ability. It describes both your agility and your precision;
+among other things, it affects your defensive skills in combat and your skill
+at performing delicate tasks, such as picking a lock or sneaking about.
+CONSTITUTION
+Constitution measures your physical health and endurance. Being in good health
+means you can withstand more damage or exertion before collapsing. It also
+helps you to survive poisons and diseases.
+WILLPOWER
+Willpower is a base ability. It affects a character's performance in many
+strenuous activities, among which fighting with heavy weapons, resisting the
+influence of hostile magic, and getting your stubborn mount to obey you.
+PERCEPTION
+Perception is a base ability. It measures all of a character's senses, with an
+emphasis on eyesight, hearing and smell. It is essential in discovering hidden
+things (such as someone waiting in ambush), in following tracks, and in taking
+aim for long-range attacks.
