Character Creation
In the Third Age, amidst the gathering of the Shadow and the plotting of Men and
Elves, there shall come a hero into the land. Though great armies amass in the hard
mountains of Mordor or along the long plains of Rohan, he shall not lead these
troops into battle. His is a smaller fate, one that changes the lives of the common
folk of towns like Michel Delving and Esteldín. With rumors of the One Ring in the
hands of one lonely adventurer, this hero shall take up the sword, the shield, or the
staff to defeat the darkness that threatens to devour the light.
One hero battles against evil Dwarves, vicious Wargs, and cold wraiths, quest-
ing for long-lost lore and striving to make a difference in these ominous times. He
shall forge courage in his heart and inspire his fellows to the deeds of legend.
That hero is you.
In the Third Age, amidst the gathering of the Shadow and the plotting of Men and
An Elf can be fi ve of the starting
seven classes.
The Races of Middle-earth
Elves are born into Middle-earth with different char-
acteristics than Men. Agility of the Woods gains them +15
Agility; Fading of the First Born subtracts 8 from their Fate
scores. Sorrow of the First Born subtracts 20 from your Max
Morale and 1 from your Morale Regeneration out of combat.
Suffer No Illness adds 1 percent to Disease Resistance and 1
percent to Poison Resistance.
There are four races in
The
Lord of the Rings Online™: Shadows
of Angmar™
: Men, Elves, Dwarves, and Hobbits. Your race
determines which classes you can play. The Race of Men can
play all the classes; Elves have access to Champion, Guard-
ian, Hunter, Lore-master, and Minstrel; Dwarves can begin as
Champion, Guardian, Hunter, and Minstrel; and Hobbits can
learn Burglar, Guardian, Hunter, and Minstrel.
You can also
choose your char-
acter’s sex (though
with Dwarves, you
can’t tell the differ-
ence). Gender does
not affect game-
play.
The differences
in the races’
characteristics can
affect early adventuring, so think carefully about your race
choice in regards to your class.
You can customize your Elf to a particular style.
We chose an Elf Champion for our
starting character.
Dwarves, as you may guess from their small, muscular
bodies, are the toughest race. Sturdiness adds 15 to Might, 10
to Vitality, and 1 percent to Common Resistance (normal melee
damage). Unwearying in Battle adds 0.5 Morale and Power
Regeneration in combat. All good things, except the brawn,
comes at a price. The Stocky characteristic subtracts 8 from
Agility, and the Dwarf drops 8 Fate to Lost Dwarf Kingdom.
Hobbits are the most resilient of the bunch. Rapid Re-
covery adds 1 point a second to Morale Regeneration out of
combat, Hobbit Courage adds 1 point a second to Fear Resis-
tance, Resist Corruption improves your Shadow Resistance by
1 point a second, and Rapid Recovery adds 1 point a second
to Morale Regeneration out of combat. Hobbit Toughness
injects the little fellow with +15 Vitality; however, Small Size
reduces a Hobbit’s Might by 8.
Each race also dictates which zone you’ll start in. This
could have a huge effect on your early quest choices. If you
begin in Ered Luin, for example, your early quests may only
take you through that zone and, perhaps, the Shire. Bree-
land’s early quests may then go unexplored.
The races begin in the following zones: Men start in
Bree-land, Elves start in Ered Luin, Dwarves start in Ered
Luin, and Hobbits start in the Shire.

Men have four racial characteristics that shape their
nature. Gift of Men adds 15 Fate, Strong Men adds 15 Might,
while Diminishing Mankind subtracts 8 from Will. The Easily
Inspired characteristic helps a Man gain more Morale when
he is healed.
