Avatar Races
Note: These are not guaranteed to be completely accurate. If you end up with one more or less strength that you expected, don't be surprised. They are however accurate as of May 2003. Avatar is a constantly evolving mud, and many things may change, though the general way the class works should be the same as listed here, so it'll still help for picking which class you want to play (unless they've added new classes).

Each class has a main stat. When you choose a class, your races normal stats get +1 main stat, +4 maximum main stat, and -2 main stat cost.
