This is an expansion of P LAYER ’ S O PTION : Skills and Powers , a volume that expanded

upon character creation for the AD&D 2 nd Edition game. The material presented within

allows players and referees to construct P LAYER ’ S O PTION characters for use in the

D RAGONLANCE Taladas setting. The largest change to character creation is the introduction of

a character point system. Information about character points can be found in the P LAYER ’ S

O PTION : Skills and Powers volume.

In Taladas, players have more options for player character races than they have had

before. In addition to the normal assortment of humans, elves, half-elves, dwarves, gnomes,

and kender, Taladan characters can also be minotaurs, goblins, ogres, and bakali. Furthermore,

familiar races have new and different attitudes, and in the case of the gnomes, improved

abilities.

R a c i a l R e q u i r e m e n t s

Players should consult the following table, which lists minimum and maximum ability scores for the player

character races of Taladas. Minimum scores are listed to the left of the slashes, maximums to the rights.

Starting character statistics must fall within these ranges, although the statistics can increase and decrease

during the course of play. For example, if a gnomoi has his Intelligence reduced to less than 6 because he

suffered some magical mishap, the character is still a gnome. If a kender drank a potion that increased his

Intelligence to 19, he is still a kender.

Once the character’s ability scores have been determined, the race chosen, and the Racial Requirements

table consulted, modify the ability scores based on the racial Adjustments table – and determine the subability

scores as per the rules in chapter two of P LAYER ’ S O PTION : Skills & Powers .

The D UNGEON M ASTER G UIDE included an optional rule where demihuman characters could exceed level

limits if they possessed high prime-requisite scores. This rule is official in the P LAYER ’ S O PTION system. See the

chart below for bonus levels granted to those characters with high scores in their class prime requisites.

Table 4: Prime Requisite Bonuses

Ability Score Bonus Levels

14-15 +1

16-17 +2

18 +3

19 +4

20+ +5

The bonus levels are added to the character’s maximum experience level shown in the Racial Level Limits

table.

Each race detailed below receives a number of character points that can be spent on racial skills and

other abilities. This lets players personalise their characters. No longer must all dwarves have exactly the same

abilities, skills, and bonuses. Players can purchase packages of abilities, or they can customise their characters.

Demihumans can save 5 character points from this process and apply them at any other point in the

character creation process. Humans can save 10 points.

Note: Krynnish dwarves, elves, gnomes, half-elves, and humans receive the same number of Character

Points as their standard counterparts.

R a c i a l V a r i a n t s

Numerous races have off-shoots that can be player characters. For example, a player fond of dwarves

could choose from the Fianawar, Scorned, or Rainward Isles varieties. Players who select such a character

purchase the standard package of abilities for the subrace. Optionally, a player can customise a character by

choosing individual abilities from the list for that race. Generally, buying a package of abilities is the most

efficient way to spend character points.

B a k a l i

The Bakali are a race of reptilian humanoids that dwell in the warm waters of Blackwater Glade. Though

savage, brutal, and uneducated, they are not unintelligent. Indeed, they are cunning and quick to learn,

although they do have their limitations.

Known also as “lizardmen” or “dragonmen” by the humans of Thenol, bakali are racially distinct from the

degenerate hurdu of the Steamwall Mountains, or their larger, more vicious cousins in Ansalon. Ansalonian

lizardfolk are more properly named jarak-sinn , meaning “new race” in the bakali tongue.

Bakali range in height from six to eight feet and are correspondingly strong and muscular. Their hides

range in colour from yellow-green to mottled brown and are heavily plated, much like those of crocodiles. They

have long, powerful tails that they can lash about. A dorsal ridge runs the length of the spine, starting at the

back of the skull and finally disappearing about halfway down the tail. Their hands and feet have vestigial

claws, menacing-looking but not effective in combat. The hands and feet are webbed and the talons of the feet

are used like fingers.
