Page "Asheron's Call" Paragraph 1

Set in a heroic-fantasy world Asheron's Call allows players to create a character, or avatar from one of six ( as of March 2010 Event ) in-game races.

The player initially allocates a limited number of attribute points ( such as ' Strength ', ' Coordination ', and ' Quickness ') and selects skills ( such as ' Unarmed Combat ', ' War Magic ' and ' Melee Defense ') for the character, with those base skills starting at a level determined by the character's attributes.

Unlike many other games of the genre characters are not locked into a specific class, and can even reallocate previously selected skills to acquire other skills later in the game.
