Race
In general the only differences between the races are the character sprite, the starting attributes, and neutrality of mobs in some areas of the game. This chart shows the difference in starting attributes (note, there is no longer any difference between male and female with regards to starting attributes):

Sex
There are 3 sexes in Shadow Worlds: Male, Female, and Undead. Male characters use the sprite of their race (Elf, Human, Dwarf, Orc), female and undead characters use the female and undead sprites (respectivly). There is currently no stat difference between male and female. However, undead characters take significantly more damage from fire, cannot be affected by the 'Without Magic' spell, have a chance to dodge the 'Dark Tree' spell, and are ignored by guards. 'Undead' is also listed as an 'Ignore Race' option in the Map Maker. This means map developers can choose to make mobs neutral to undead characters but not male or female characters.

Level
Each level up awards player with 2 base points to distribute across attributes (Str, End, Wis, Luck, Mana, Agil, Int). the formula for experience needed is: (please edit and add formula if you know it)
