Hi!
I had to ask this I just get get over with it since I started to play maybe a week ago and started to delve into the game and the lore (well I already read REH stories: Conan, Solomon Kane, Kull).
I did not found any topic about this. I wonder how come that cimmerians can become dark templars. They shun the use of magic let alone dark magic, and the AoC wiki says on the DT page: "The dark templar's fighting prowess, coupled with unholy spells, makes them a force to be reckoned with."
ageofconan.com says: "...sold their humanity for unholy might, the power to feed upon the life of their enemies, spells that can reflect enemy attacks and unnatural powers of rejuvenation that have a darker, nightmarish twist to them." "...capability of an expert soldier and wield vile sorcery."
Ok, not every cimmerians are the same, they are not a hive-mind and we could say there are some who dont loath evil sorcery. But with that thinking we should be able to start cimmerian demonogists and necromancers, shouldnt we? As far as my noob knowledge extends races are only for RP flavor, they dont bring numbers (like cimmerian: +5% strength, -5% willpower).
Any justification?
