Barbarian - Strong, big, yet a lil on the dumb side. Their charisma doesn't do 'em much good either, but they are a strong race, if ya can deal without infravision. There are a few weapons that require you to be a strong or big race, and barbarians are definitely big and strong. These guys have a bonus for combat, they can Slam. This donna do much damage, and most likely will be replaced with Shield Bash, but they got it so use it while ya young.
Barbarians also have a blessin on their resistance towards cold.
Human - Average in stats, which is a blessin and a curse. All the races suffer a experience point penalty save for humans. They learn quicker. They also have the least bit of racial tension from other races. Like barbarians, humans donna have infravision.
