Description

Cornacs are Humans from the northern parts of the Allied Kingdoms. Humans are an inherently very adaptable race and as such they gain a talent category point at birth (others only gain one at levels 10, 20 and 36).

Cornacs do not have a racial tree, but instead start with a free category point.

Strategy

With no stat modifiers, the 'base' life rating of 10, and no racial talents, Cornacs are the baseline to which other races are compared. They're often not as powerful as other races, although they are a good choice for classes that want to spend a lot of category points and have enough places to put generics (since they have no racial tree to invest generics in), or for trying out one of the unlockable trees early.

Cornacs are good for...

Cornacs are not so good for...

  • Classes that have very little to unlock or that have few places to spend generics, like Archers and Reavers
  • Classes with poor life ratings, who may benefit from more racial HP

The following classes have unique or meta-class based skill categories that begin locked, but can be used by a Cornac from level 1:

Brawler -- Grappling and Unarmed Discipline Shadowblade -- Stealth Skirmisher -- Trapping Alchemist -- Energy Alchemy Archmage -- Meta and Temporal Cursed -- Rampage, Predator, and Fears Doomed -- Fears Reaver -- Curse, Hexes* Corruptor -- Bone, Shadowflame, Torment Sun Paladin -- Radiance Summoner -- Summoning (Augmentation), Harmony*, Mindstar Mastery* Wyrmic -- Undead Drake, Harmony* Oozemancer -- Fungus* Stone Warden -- Stone Alchemy Paradox Mage -- Stasis, Flux, Energy Temporal Warden -- Stasis, Fate Weaving Sawbutcher -- Engineering Gunslinger -- Blacksmith

  • However, this category can be unlocked for free through a quest or from a shop, and thus may be a poor way to invest a category point

Note that not all skill trees available from level 1 are actually useful at low levels.
