I would say that the best race for a darkwar would be scallion i can never 
stop myself from making scallions.

first you want to start your stats like this

18 strength
10 agility
16 constitution
18 intelligence
13 wisdom

I always get my shrines at level 12 because it is easier to learn steadily 
over the levels than all at once.

these are what you should add your stat points on up till level 

level 2 + strength
level 3 + strength
level 4 + constitution
level 5 + constitution
level 6 + wisdom
level 7 + wisdom
level 8 + intelligence
level 9 + intelligence
level 10 + intelligence
level 11 + intelligence
level 12 + intelligence

now if you have enough read i should get all shrines and great hall shrine.

now when you level up add strength up till level 36 and then try and get 
somebody to jeloc shrine you. now you should have a pretty decent char. 
after level 36 keep adding strength. 

your hp and mp at the different levels will be (with no bases):

level 1 HP:10 MP:1
level 2 HP:22 MP:3
level 3 HP:34 MP:4
level 4 HP:50 MP:6
level 5 HP:65 MP:8
level 6 HP:80 MP:11
level 7 HP:95 MP:14
level 8 HP:111 MP:17
level 9 HP:127 MP:21
level 10 HP:144 MP:24
level 11 HP:161 MP:28
level 12 HP:198 MP:35

explaining read
read is a learned skill so you have to read to improve your skill. if you 
use scrolls like a battle scroll then after a while your read skill will 
increase.

explaining props
props are special additions to armour and weapons. there are different props 
for all the different weapons but there are set props for all armours. props 
help you. if you had a +1hp regen prop then it would regain your base hp per 
second and if you had +2hp regen then the hp regained would be greater.

if you have understood my faq then you should have a great character.

hope to see you in the game!
