Character creation and playable races

From UO:PvE Wiki

Choose Human or Elf, distribute starting stats and skills, and begin with a basic adventuring kit.

Development source reviewed on 29 October 2026. In-game availability is unverified.

Playable races#

Human and Elf are the two playable races. An unsupported race choice falls back to Human; the race policy also converts an existing unsupported player race to Human on login.

Starting allocations#

The current creation handler supports both newer and older character-creation requests. These are starting allocations, not your later stat or skill caps.

AllocationAccepted values
Starting stats, newer creation request90 points total
Starting stats, older creation request80 points total
Each starting stat10–60
Starting skills100 or 120 points total, depending on creation choices
Each selected starting skillAt most 50.0; no duplicate nonzero skill selections

Initial supplies#

The base starting kit includes 1,000 gold, a dagger, a candle and a red book. Your selected profession and starting skills can add equipment or supplies.
