This page contains links to various documentation relating to the Crossfire RPG game.

Players need to know how to play - you weren’t born playing Crossfire were you?

This is why there are player guides.

Creating a character that suits the way you want to play is important. I don’t want to play a character I don’t like, and neither do you, I’m sure. These documents will help you create the character you want.

• The character creation HOWTO tells you all you need to know for creating your first character.
• Explanation of character attributes, because your character’s skills depend on those.
• A summary of abilities modifiers based on Class.
• Because a dwarf is neither a human nor a dragon, the race guide provides you with useful information.
