When you first join a world, Storytime opens a character selection screen. This screen lets you browse available races and confirm your choice before entering the world.
The screen layout
The screen is arranged as an open book.
Left page shows information about the currently browsed race:
- The race icon
- The race name and description
- A list of passive traits the race has
Right page shows the mechanical details:
- Attribute changes relative to a vanilla player (health, speed, armor, etc.)
- The race's active ability, if it has one, including its name, description, and cooldown
Browsing races
Use the < and > buttons at the bottom of the screen, or press the left and right arrow keys, to move between races. The page flips with a brief animation.
Confirming your choice
When you find a race you want, press the Confirm button. The screen closes and your race is applied immediately.
Your attributes update, your passive traits activate, and your ability becomes available. All of this is visible to other players on the server.
After selecting
You cannot reopen the character selection screen after confirming. If you need to change race, ask a server operator to reset your race data, or start a new world.
