Elf vs Gaunt - exp reasoning

[duder]

Hello (just joined to start playing again after long break)

I was looking at the data of the realm. Elf and Gaunt are pretty close in stats, but elf seems to have more abilities and maybe even stats on a net.

I was wondering what is the reasoning for Gaunt being more expensive a race over Elf?

Elf
STR (-10) INT (-20) WIS (0) AGIL (+10) HEALTH (+10) CHARM (+40)

Elf gets stealth and mana regen
Gaunt gets more Illumination and perception

Is Guant being able to gain see hidden a factor in this?

Yes
