Character Creation
When creating your character in Xindeler you make three decisions that define your playstyle: your race, your class and your background.
Choosing a Race
Races grant a permanent passive and an active innate ability. No race is strictly superior — each favors a different style.
| Race | Passive | Innate ability |
|---|---|---|
| Human | +3% Energy recovery | Second Wind |
| Elf | +3% movement speed | Fleetness |
| Dwarf | +2% damage reduction | Stoneblood |
| Orc | +3% attack damage | Bloodrage |
| Gnome | +5% maximum Energy | Shadowstep |
| Dhampir | +10% CC resistance | Gravechill |
Choosing a Class
The class determines your combat role, the weapons you can use and the special abilities available. Xindeler currently has 14 playable classes — the original four have fully developed skill trees, and ten more recently joined the roster (playable today, with skill trees still being built out).
| Class | Role | Main weapons |
|---|---|---|
| Warrior | Damage / Tank | Sword, axe, hammer |
| Mage | Magic damage | Tome, focus, staff |
| Cleric | Support / Healing | Holy symbol, sceptre |
| Rogue | Damage / Mobility | Dagger, bow |

Choosing a Background
Your background captures who your character was before the adventure began — their trade, their station, the world that shaped them. Xindeler has 24 backgrounds grouped into 7 categories, from the humble Farmer to the well-connected Noble. A background never restricts your race or class choice — any combination is valid.
Equipment Restrictions
Items in Xindeler can have class, race or minimum level requirements. Trying to equip an item that doesn't meet the requirements shows it dimmed with an explanatory tooltip.
This means the choice of class and race directly affects what equipment you can use throughout the game.
Character Level
Characters range from level 1 to 60, calculated from the experience accumulated over the character's entire lifetime. The level is displayed visibly in the nameplate above your character.
Final Advice
There is no "wrong" combination. Explore the one that appeals to you most — you can create multiple characters to try different styles.
