.............................................................................. Realms of Arkania 1+2 Character Creation Guide by bebopcolagood 09/20/2012, v 1.1 ..............................................................................

The purpose of this guide is to demystify some aspects of the character creation process for the first two Realms of Arkania games, Blade of Destiny and Star Trail. Having not played Shadows over Riva, I can't confirm any of the information in this guide for that game. Most of the information here is from personal experience, the game's manual and hintbook, and other faqs for these games. Thanks to issasal specifically for his Star Trail FAQ, and LordCinnamon at GOG.com for the deity bonuses. VERY IMPORTANT: Most of the information in this guide is for Advanced Mode, which is set at the very beginning of the game. When importing games from Blade of Destiny into Star Trail, it tends to convert Advanced games into Basic games. This can be reversed in Star Trail by hitting F3 to bring up the options screen, and changing 'Basic' at the bottom to 'Advanced'. .............................................................................. Table I. II. III. IV. V. of Contents Stats Archetypes Skills Spells Other

.............................................................................. I. Stats Positive Stats Courage Courage is useful for everybody, making them better in combat by increasing physical and magical attack power, and increasing magic resistance. Wisdom Not just useful for wizardly types; besides increasing spellcasting ability, it also buffs magic resistance. Charisma Not terribly useful, except for your designated haggler. Dexterity Good for rogue-types who pick locks and essential for wizards, as it influences the success rate of spellcasting. Agility Very useful, as it increases your attack values and your chance to avoid enemy physical attacks. Strength Increases carrying capacity for everybody, which means they aren't encumbered as quickly, which means more movement points on the whole. Also can increase attack values at higher levels.

Intuition May be good for your leader to bolster Perception / Danger Sense. Negative Stats Superstition The higher the value, the lower your magic resistance. Definitely the most important negative stat. Get this low as soon as possible. Arachnophobia Spiders are rare in Blade of Destiny and Star Trail, so my opinion is to assign your unlucky 7 to this. Claustrophobia Cave-ins and dungeon encounters are somewhat more common than spiders, but unless this value is very high you wont notice. Avarice At higher levels, there are a few occasions where your characters will do dumb things resulting in minor penalties, but nothing major. Acrophobia Fear of heights. There are plenty of mountains in both games, but I've never seen a character with a high value for this ever run into trouble. Curiosity I've run into a few instances where it'll make you touch stuff without thinking first, but never in any disasterous capacity. Violent Temper It can make someone attack in certain encounters with little provocation I guess. Necrophobia There's a fair amount of undead in Blade of Destiny and Star Trail, plus there are a few non-combat encounters where necrophobia comes into play. So, you should probably get this pretty low if possible. .............................................................................. II. Archetypes Jester / She-Jester Requirements: Courage 12, Dexterity 12, Agility 12, Superstition 7. Weapon Skills: Pointed, Thrown. Skills: Body, Social, some Craftsmanship. Restricted Weapons: Crossbow, 2h Swords, high Cutting/Axes. Restricted Armor: Plate Armor, Chainmail Shirt, Scale Armor. My Opinion: Non-essential. Their ranged option is thrown weapons, which aren't terribly useful, and they can't wear good armor, but their high agility makes them likely to avoid attacks. Decent social skills and good body skills. Not surprisingly, kind of a gimmick character. Hunter / Huntress Requirements: Agility 12, Intuition 12, Claustrophobia 7. Weapon Skills: Missiles, Polearms, Thrown. Skills: Body, Nature, Intuition.

Restricted Weapons: Crossbow, 2h Swords, high Cutting/Axes. Restricted Armor: Plate Armor, Chainmail Shirt, Scale Armor. My Opinion: A decent choice, although everything they do, elves do better. Awesome missiles skill makes them your go-to ranged combatant, although they can't use crossbows for some ungodly reason. Good as a front man if you don't want elves for some reason. Warrior / She-Warrior Requirements: Courage 13, Strength 12, Violent Temper < 4. Weapon Skills: Swords, Two-Handed Swords, Cutting, Polearms, Missile, Thrown. Skills: Some Body, some Lore. Restricted Weapons: None. Restricted Armor: None. My Opinion: The powerhouse of Realms of Arkania, warriors are beasts. Best armor choices, focus on swords and decent skill in all other weapons, and all-around excellent combat ability. I'd highly recommend taking one or two. Rogue / She-Rogue Requirements: Courage 12, Dexterity 13, Agility 13. Weapon Skills: Pointed, Thrown. Skills: Body, Social, Craftsmanship, Intuition. Restricted Weapons: 2h Swords, high Cutting/Axes. Restricted Armor: Plate Armor, Chainmail Shirt, Scale Armor. My Opinion: Everything jesters do, rogues do better. Rogues on the whole aren't terribly useful, but their pickpocket and locks skills make them worth having around. To fill out their weak attack power, use poison. Thorwalian Requirements: Courage 12, Strength 13, Superstition 7. Weapon Skills: Axes, Cutting. Skills: Some Body, some Lore, some Nature. Restricted Weapons: High Cutting/Axes/2h Swords. My Opinion: Kind of a poor man's warrior. Don't get me wrong, they're pretty good: it's just that for the most part, warriors are better. Thorwalians have decent swimming and some nature aptitudes, but are mostly forced to use axes instead of swords, so they miss out on magic swords later on. Dwarf / Dwarvess Requirements: Dexterity 12, Strength 13, Claustrophobia < 4, Avarice 7. Weapon Skills: Axes. Skills: Some Body, Lore, Craftsmanship, Some Nature, Intuition. Restricted Weapons: High Axes/2h Swords, some Cutting. My Opinion: A good second fighter-type, about on-par with thorwalians. They have more LP than any other class, good axe skills, plus decent craftsmanship, including treat wounds/disease and locks. If you bring a dwarf, you don't necessarily need a rogue or jester. Warlock / Witch Requirements: Charisma 13, Intuition 12, Acrophobia < 4. Weapon Skills: None.

Skills: Some Body, some Social, some Lore, Craftsmanship, Nature, Intuition. Spells: Mostly spread out, some Illusion. Restricted Weapons: Most Pointed, Polearm, Sword, Cutting, Missiles. Restricted Armor: Shields, All Leather, Toadskin, Pothelm, Iron Helm, All Chainmail, Plate Armor, Scale Armor. My Opinion: Hmmm. jester is kind of spellcaster. They pretty good skill Honestly, they're not very good. In the same way the a gimmick character, the warlock is definitely the gimmick have bad combat abilities, weird spell selection, but choices. I personally don't put much stock in them.

Druid / Druidess Requirements: Courage 13, Wisdom 12, Necrophobia < 4. Weapon Skills: None. Skills: Some Body, some Craftsmanship, Nature, Intuition. Spells: Mostly spread out, some Domination. Restricted Weapons: Most Pointed, Polearm, Sword, Cutting, (Missiles in Star Trail onward). Restricted Armor: Shields, Toadskin, Pothelm, Iron Helm, All Chainmail, Plate Armor, Scale Armor. My Opinion: A decent choice. Definitely better in Blade of Destiny, where they have the ability to use bows (and shoot arrows out of their chests), but other than that, a good focus on domination spells (including Evil Eye), good nature skills, and good treat disease/wounds/poison. Just be warned that there's a portion in Star Trail where your druid won't be able to come along unless you have a disguise/invisibility spell trained up. Magician / Magicienne Requirements: Wisdom 13, Charisma 12, Superstition < 4. Weapon Skills: Polearms. Skills: Lore, some Craftsmanship. Spells: Mostly spread out, some focus on a school of your choosing. Restricted Weapons: Most Pointed, Polearm, Sword, Cutting, Missiles. Restricted Armor: Shields, All Leather, Toadskin, Pothelm, Iron Helm, All Chainmail, Plate Armor, Scale Armor. My Opinion: The workhorse of the spellcaster classes, the magician is like the caster version of the warrior. Kinda weak on LP and combat ability, but has insane AP growth and an amazing number of spell-up attempts at level up. Plus, you can choose what school they focus on. Definitely take one along. Green Elf Requirements: Wisdom 13, Agility 12, Avarice < 4. Weapon Skills: Missiles, Pointed, Swords. Skills: Body, some Craftsmanship, Nature, Intuition. Spells: Clairvoyance, some Transformation, then spread out. Restricted Weapons: High Cutting/Axes, 2h Swords. Restricted Armor: Plate Armor, Scale Armor, (Chainmail restricted in Star Trail onward). Ice Elf Requirements: Agility 13, Intuition 12, Acrophobia < 4. Weapon Skills: Polearms, Thrown. Skills: Some Body, Craftsmanship, some Nature, Intuition. Spells: Mostly spread out. Restricted Weapons: High Cutting/Axes, 2h Swords.

Restricted Armor: All Chainmail, Plate Armor, Scale Armor. Silvan Elf Requirements: Agility 13, Intuition 13, Avarice < 4. Weapon Skills: Missiles, Pointed, Swords, Polearms. Skills: Body, some Craftsmanship, Nature, Intuition. Spells: Mostly spread out, some Clairvoyance. Restricted Weapons: High Cutting/Axes, 2h Swords. Restricted Armor: All Chainmail, Plate Armor, Scale Armor. My Opinion: Green and Silvan elves are pretty similar, in that they have good missiles and swords skills, good nature and intuition, and decent supplemental spellcasting abilities. Ice elves kinda break the mold with their polearms and thrown weapons, but otherwise they're similar. All in all a good "multiclass" type character, with fair skill at everything, only really lacking in armor choices. Like druids, there's a part in Star Trail where you'll need specific magic to allow them entry. .............................................................................. III. Skills Combat Skills Unarmed Put a few points into it if you have some spares on a level up. You should always carry a backup weapon, but lots of situations require decent unarmed (such as putting your weapons away when stupid priests show up with their love for Iron Rust). Cutting Weapons Some sword-type weapons and also maces and stuff. High variety. Pointed Weapons Rapiers, daggers, and the like. Decent for parrying. Swords The standard weapon. Not much variety. In my experience, 99% of magic weapons in Blade of Destiny and Star Trail are of the sword variety, so a Warrior with high Swords can be very useful. Axes More damaging than swords, but heavier as well. Polearms Sticks, pointy or not. Not much to say other than the quarterstaff being the weapon of choice for Druids and Warlocks, and wands for Magicians. Missile Weapons Pretty handy for the most part, for those that can use them. In Blade of Destiny you can only shoot in a straight line (suck), but in Star Trail you have much more flexible aiming. Bows are light but don't do as much damage as crossbows. Plenty of towns in Blade of Destiny means no shortage of arrows/bolts, though I guarantee you will run out constantly in Star Trail unless you really stock up. Throwing Weapons Honestly, not as good as missile weapons. They don't do as much damage as missiles, and typically have a larger penalty to attack, not to mention only throwing stars stack neatly (every other thrown weapon takes up its own

precious inventory slot). Typically, you can afford space for a cutting tooth or two for your fighter types, otherwise go for throwing stars. The only upside is, you get them back after combat so no running out of ammo. Body Skills Acrobatics You can use it to dance around in towns and make crappy money at it. Not used for anything useful really. Climb Used quite a bit actually. You probably want to get everyone at least a few points in this, in both Blade of Destiny and Star Trail, due to mountain trails having disastrous results if you climb poorly. Also, bring a couple ropes while you're at it. Physical Control At first you may ask, what the hell is this? Basically, it's damn useful. Higher values prevent you from fumbling attacks in combat, and out of combat, it helps you avoid falls and traps and stuff. Train it up for everybody. Ride Worthless...until you pick up the Salamander Stone in Star Trail. Then everybody and his brother will be trying to ride you down and kill you. So my opinion is to get everybody a couple points in it at least before then. Stealth Only really useful if you put it on the leader, since that's the only person the games check. And then, rarely comes up. Swim You should probably put a few points in this for everybody, as there are plenty of rivers to cross and the like. Self Control According to the manual, it makes you feel less pain, which is badass. Apparently low values can cause you to flee battle uncontrollably, or take penalties when you've suffered damage. Dance Can be used to make crappy money like Acrobatics. Hide Like Stealth, only useful if it s on the leader. Carouse Makes you less likely to get drunk at the tavern or if drinking alcohol in the inventory. So, not terribly useful. Social Skills Convert Apparently used to convert people to your character's religion? I have never seen it used in Blade of Destiny or Star Trail; can't speak for Shadows over Riva. Seduce Used for attracting members of the opposite sex. Again, never seen it used.

Haggle Very useful. Lets you get more for selling the dozens of worthless sabers you pick up, and buy useful stuff for less. You really only need one person with it though. Streetwise Can prevent some in-town encounters if on the leader. I haven't run into any really bad in-town encounters, so not essential, but can be nice to have if you're into that sort of thing. Lie I'm assuming that a lot of these social skills are used more in Shadows over Riva, since they never seem to come up in the first two games. Human Nature Ditto. Evaluate Allows you to estimate the value of items. I guess it could be useful in determining whether to keep an item for selling or not, but all in all, not that useful. Nature Skills Track I have on good authority that it can be useful if the lead guy has it. I can't speak from personal experience though. Bind It can be used when travelling to catch game. I think. According to the manual,it can also be used to get out of ropes when you're tied up, but I've never seen that happen. Orientation Useful for the leader. It can affect travel time, ability to use maps, keeping your bearings in dungeons, and so on. Herb Lore Absolutely necessary. It's used to find plants, which range from useless to everyone except alchemist, to incredibly useful (Whirlweeds, Joruga Roots, Belmarts, etc.). Put it on your Healer and Alchemist. Animal Lore Supposed to increase attack power against animals in combat, and maybe make you more likely to catch game when hunting. Survival Vital to survival when travelling. Used to find water and catch game. Make sure at least one person, if not two, has this. Lore Skills Alchemy Can be useful for a magician-type, although a) recipes are rare as heck, and b) I hope you brought a kit over from Blade of Destiny, because alchemy kits are even rarer in Star Trail. All in all, a totally optional, but useful, skill. Hyalian Fire is a decent recipe if you can find it.

Ancient Tongues Get one guy high on this, probably your Magician, then forget about it. Used once or twice to read a scroll. Geography Not sure what use this has, if any. In a perfect world, it would decrease travel time. History I think it comes up once or twice in Blade of Destiny. Like Ancient Tongues; get one guy a few points in it then forget it. Ritual Hit it and quit it. Tactics Unlike all other Lore skills, actually useful! Makes you better in combat. Read / Write Hit it and quit it. Arcane Lore Actually useful again, although only for spellcasters. Makes their spells more powerful. Tongues Hit it and quit it. Craftsmanship Skills Train Animals Self-explanatory I think. Never seen it come up in Blade of Destiny or Star Trail. Drive According to the manual, how well you drive CARTS. Christ. Cheat Makes decent money, but it seems like you can only use it in taverns and only if the person with it is in the front. Not nearly as versatile as Pickpocket. Treat Disease You need at LEAST two people with HIGH levels in this. Disease will absolutely MURDER you if you don't treat it RIGHT AWAY. Many diseases require special herbs, so it's not a bad idea to put this on your herb guys too. Treat Poison Not AS useful as Treat Disease, as generally you'll only get poisoned from traps, spiders, and the occasional fumble with your own poisoned weapon. Plus, there are Antidotes that cure poison, and a spell that cures it as well. Train it if you want, but not necessary. Treat Wounds A double-edged sword. Can be used for free healing, but on a botched roll it can actually CAUSE disease. The other benefit is, it's supposed to make you get disease from wounds less often. My advice is to get one guy really, really good at it.

Instrument Similar to Acrobatics, can be used to make crappy money. Boy, there sure are a lot of skills like this. Locks Pretty essential. In Blade of Destiny, it's the only way to open chests, so you need someone with it at pretty high levels. Not as essential in Star Trail since you can Foramen or bust open most stuff, but still useful. Remember to bring extra lockpicks in Blade, since they can break unexpectedly. Pickpocket All those useless skills like Instruments, Acrobatics, Dancing, and so on, pale in comparison to the almighty Free Money skill--I mean, Pickpocket. You can easily take about 10D from each merchant (just save beforehand) and pad your pockets right from the start. Intuition Skills Danger Sense Helps you spot ambushes, traps, and the like. Pretty darn useful for avoiding unnecessary damage. Perception Can be used to find hidden doors and stuff, which you need to find to progress through the game, so pretty essential. Also the key stat for setting lookouts when camping. .............................................................................. IV. Spells Note: I have not cast some of these spells personally, so when in doubt, I will paraphrase the text in the manual. Dispell School Break Domination Cancels a Domination school spell. Enemy druids love to cast Evil Eye on your guys, so definitely have at least one or two people train it up to 0 or so. Destruction Manual: Turns an artifact into a mundane item. Guardian Conjures a dome that protects from Fulminictus and demon attacks. You can choose how many AP to put into it when you cast it. Destroy Illusion Manual: Counters illusions, including Duplication. Stop Transformation Cancels a transformation effect, such as Paralyze. Might be a good idea to train it up before Star Trail, since that's when it starts getting a lot more common (high priests and magicians seem to know it). Healing School Balm Trades the caster's AP for the target's LP. Typically, your AP is better

spent, since you could just eat a Whirlweed instead. Witch Spit Manual: Healing spell with different effects on poison, disease, or wounds. Pure and Clear Cures Poison, in the rare occasion when it comes up. Rest the Body Makes the target heal more during the next rest. It does sizeably increase the amount of LP recovered, but eating tarneles does the same thing (at least in Star Trail). Heal Animal Heals animals I guess. Never really got a chance to use it. Domination School Ball and Chain Target is paralyzed and takes no actions. Bambaladam The manual says "makes the target stop attacking the caster", but in reality, it makes the enemy passive and stop attacking entirely, effectively removing them from combat (you can't attack them anymore and they never fight back). Evil Eye Useful when it works. Turns the target over to your side for the combat. Just don't attack them again, or it will instantly wear off. Enemy druids love to cast this on your guys. Great Need Manual: Causes the target to ignore everything other than one specific thing. Confusion Seems to make the target act strangely in combat. Master of Animals Makes an animal stop attacking you for a while. Fairly expensive in terms of AP for a fairly limited return. Horriphobus Makes the target run away. I don't know for sure whether you still get EP for enemies that flee, so use at your own discretion. Astral Theft Steals AP from an enemy spellcaster. Could be useful if they were more common in Blade of Destiny, though they are fairly common in the late game of Star Trail. Respondami Manual: Makes a target speak the truth. Meekness Like Evil Eye, but for animals (although Evil Eye works on animals?). Additionally, can be used to calm someone in an advanced stage of Rabies or in certain non-combat encounters where someone is flippin out. Somnigravis

Puts the target to sleep, where they'll stay for a while or until attacked. Combat does not end if the only opponents left are asleep. Dance! Makes the target dance uncontrollably, and they take no actions. Demonology School Blood and Furor Conjures a low-level demon. Sometimes. Maybe. Also seems to have a decent chance of summoning an enemy demon. Banish Spirits Banishes ghosts, spirits, and other haunts. Used to get some nice optional treasure in Star Trail. Conjure Spirits Manual: Summons a ghost. Heptagon Manual: Summons a high-level demon. I've heard it can turn on the party. Summon Crows Summons crows that attack enemies. Skeletarius Turns a slain enemy into a friendly skeleton. Elements School Conjure Elemental Manual: Conjures up a friendly elemental. Nihilatio Manual: Nullifies gravity around the caster. Solidirid Manual: Summons a rainbow bridge. Movement School Acceleratus Gives the target way more movement points for about dungeon-length period of time. Useful for heavily armored guys that are slowed down by their eq. Foramen Pretty useful. Used on locked doors in Blade of Destiny and additionally on chests in Star Trail, opens them up, no muss no fuss. Doesn't work on 'plot' doors though, and the level determines the 'strength' of lock it can open, so train it up for those hard locks. Motoricus Seems to move small items. Without a Trace Allows the caster to leave no trace of their passing.

Transversalis A teleport spell that can be used to bypass some barriers and puzzles, but it's a bitch to learn. Walk on Ice Manual: The caster can walk on ice or snow more easily. Clairvoyance School Eagle's Eye Increases the caster's Perception, so it can be very useful if you're on the lookout for secret doors. Analyze Magic When cast on an unknown magic item, tells you its properties (if it has any). Doesn't seem to work on some magic items. Attributes Reveal Tells you an enemy's stats in combat. Useful for determining what level a monster is in Star Trail, since they look identical. Other than that, you'll pretty much only ever need to cast it once per enemy and write the results down. Exposami Manual: Reveals the presence of living beings nearby. Odem Arcanum Tells you whether an item is enchanted or not. Many items do not show any signs of being enchanted, but there are a couple unbreakable swords and such that just look like normal swords, so it's up to you if you want to check everything (most artifacts in Star Trail look unique though). Penetrating Let's you see through walls on the automap only for a few squares around you. Useful for finding out where secret doors are, and can be used in conjunction with Transversalis (sometimes). Sensible Manual: Read an opponent's feelings. Illusion School Chameleony Makes the caster blend in, as long as they don't move. Duplication Creates a mirror image of the caster (or target in Star Trail), making them harder to hit. Pretty effective and cheap in terms of AP cost. Camoflague Makes the caster appear as a non-threatening being. Definitely can be used in Star Trail. Witch's Knot Manual: Creates an illusory barrier. Combat School

Lightning Blinds a target for a few turns, making them take no actions. Seems to wear off if you attack them though. Cheap to cast, can be useful in temporarily disabling an enemy. Darkness' Power Makes the target's shadow come alive and assist them in combat. I haven't noticed any major difference when this spell is active. Iron Rust Short range, but destroys a target's weapon. Seems to be long-range in Star Trail. Pretty useful in neutering pirates and the like. Watch out for druids and priests, they know this one. Fulminictus The go-to attack spell, it costs as much AP as the damage it does, so unless you want to burn through your AP real quick, just use it to finish guys off. Ingifaxus A 'leveled' attack spell, where you pick the level when you cast, and it costs more and does more fire damage. Pretty decent attack spell. Plumbumbarum Reduces the target's attack when cast. Terror Broom Manual: Makes a broom come alive and attack enemies. Terror Power Bolster's the target's attack power and damage dealt for a few turns. I can verify that this spell is pretty powerful. Accurate Eye Seems to make missile and thrown attacks more accurate for the target. Communication School Witch's Eye Manual: Lets a warlock/witch identify another warlock/witch. Nekropathia Manual: Contact the spirits of the dead. Transformation School Eagle, Wolf Turns the caster into a dog. It can be used in that spot in Star Trail I keep talking about where you need to disguise magicians, druids, and elves. Arcano Raises the target's magic resistance by a couple points. Magic Armor Raises the caster's armor rating by a selectable value. Better armor costs more AP, so you may want to check the enemy's attack with Attributes. Increase [STAT]

Can be useful since it's decently cheap and lasts for a dungeon or so. Use Increase ST for your fighters, DX for rogue, and AG for everybody. Fire's Bane Makes the caster resistant to fire. Paralyze Petrifies a target at range. It seems to work permanently on some targets, but only temporarily on others. Doesn't cost that much AP so it's worth training up. Enemy high priests and magicians can use this so watch out. Salother Mutother Instantly and permanently turns the target into a toadstool. After training it up fairly high, it still doesn't work terribly often, and it costs a whole lot of AP. But it certainly will take care of an enemy. Ocean's Floor Allows breathing underwater. There are plenty of underwater portions in Star Trail (swamp) where this comes in handy if you don't have Swim trained up. Visibili Makes the caster only invisible, allowing them to go unnoticed. Definitely used in Star Trail; can't speak for Blade of Destiny. Transmutation School Abvenenum Manual: Purifies poisoned or spoiled food. Aeolitus Creates a small breeze. Never found any use for it. Burn! Can be used to light torches and crap. Claudibus Locks a door or chest. Buy why? Darkness Makes EVERYONE's attack values drop, yours and the enemy's. I don't know what use it is. I guess if your values are way higher? Freeze the Soft Manual: Solidifies liquids. Fiat Lux Light spell. Useful until you have your Magician get to Wand Spell No. 2. Melt the Solid Can melt ice and stuff. So far I've only come across one time where you need it in Star Trail, but right next to where you need it is an altar to Hesinde who will give you a +15 bonus to it if you've donated enough to her (100D). Silentium Makes the party more sneaky by cancelling sound. There is at least one point in Star Trail where this may come in handy. Calm the Storm Manual: Creates a zone of calm around the caster and allies, protecting from

winds. .............................................................................. V. Other There are other aspects to character creation as well. Obviously the biggest difference is Basic v. Advanced, but you already knew that since you just read all the Advanced rules. Your character seems to be randomly assigned a deity. This has two effects. One, it gives a small bonus based on the deity (listed below). Secondly, and more importantly, if the character dies, you can donate and pray at a temple of that god (or at Tsa) to raise them from the dead. This is the ONLY way to return dead characters to life, so note where temples of various gods are for when the inevitable Rabies plague happens.

Name has no impact, but remember that only the first 7 or so characters show up. Gender has no impact, although in Star Trail women that don't wear pants can attact unwanted attention. ..............................................................................
