Features FAQ

Characters and Progression

What kind of races are there?

Currently, there are two races: sheep and wolves. Sheep are better at being defensive, and wolves are better at being aggressive.

Are the races balanced?

No! While they do need to be a roughly balanced, we're focusing on making the races unique enough so that micro balancing is not necessary. Ideally, we'd like groups of player to include both races because of their differences.

What kind of player classes are there?

None. Once you choose a race, you are locked into a single class. With the skill system, you can make very unique Sheep or Wolf characters that have specific purposes and combat styles.

What is the maximum level?

Level 200. This may sound really high, but you must remember that gaining levels in Secondhand Lands is very rapid.

How does the skill system work?

Each races has 24 unique skills. For each level gained, the player may spend a skill point to gain a skill or enhance an existing skill. Generally, it takes about 75 points to completely master a skill. Some skills take less, and other skills take more.

Yes, you gain respecialisation points as you gain levels. These allow you to unspend a skill point. However, once all your free points are spent, you must purchase more with Credits.
