Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games

Photosensitive Seizures

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain

visual images, including lashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games.

Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed

condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching

video games.

These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness,

altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation,

confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of

consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking

nearby objects.

Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these

symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above

symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these

seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking

the following precautions: Sit farther from the screen; use a smaller screen; play

in a well-lit room; and do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.

If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor

before playing.

divided into many diferent groups, and settled throughout Middle-earth,

primarily in the ancient forested realms where they still live.

HOBBIT

There are few recorded deeds of Hobbits until late in the Third

Age of Middle-earth, which is just the way Hobbits prefer it. They

are a simple, quiet folk, preferring to dwell in hillside holes in and

around the land known as The Shire. These small folk enjoy the

peaceful endeavors of farming, eating and gift-giving, rather than concerning

themselves with the dangerous afairs of the rest of Middle-earth.

In these dark days, however, it is the unassuming Hobbits, with their often

surprising cleverness in both word and action, who will have the greatest

afect in the war between the Free Peoples of Middle-earth and the

lengthening shadows of evil … from Angmar, to the north.

R ACE

There are four races to choose from – Dwarves,

Elves, Hobbits and Man – each with its own

strengths and weaknesses. Not all races can

play all classes (see chart on next page).

You can choose to play as a male or female for

most races. There are no penalties or bonuses

attached to either gender. Your character’s

gender just determines his or her appearance

in-game.

Pop-Ups

You can hover

the cursor over

most icons in

the game to

display a pop-

up window

with detailed

information.

RACE OF MAN

Man is the shortest-lived of the races of Middle-earth, yet also

the race destined to rule in the years beyond the Third Age. Man’s

mortality was considered a unique gift, but in time it became

known as “The Doom of Men” and the source of lamentation. Men

are capable of great courage and honor, yet they can also easily fall prey to

ambition, deceit and betrayal.

DWARF

The stout Dwarves of Middle-

earth are known for their steadfast

determination, hearty strength, and

commitment to all things found

in the world’s deep places. Living a secretive life in their homes beneath the

great mountains, Dwarves are expert miners and workers of stone and metal.

Dwarves make excellent warriors, displaying unique toughness in battle.

Elves do not grow old as other races do — there are Elves abroad in Middle-

all too well the devastation caused by the tides of evil that once darkened

the land — a shadow that threatens to do so again. In ages past, the Elves

C LASS

A character’s class deines their role as an adventurer in Middle-earth. The

class you pick will deine what skills your character acquires and reines.

Hunter

The Hunter is the class of choice for players who enjoy striking

a target from a distance. Tracker, pathinder, and master of the

bow, the keen-eyed Hunter can ire arrows to devastating efect.

Hunters are known to lure their targets into traps to hinder them,

giving them time to use their bows to deadly efect. A Hunter’s knowledge of

nature also provides skills that help her and her fellows thrive in the wild.

The Burglar is the class for players who enjoy using cunning and

tricks to defeat their opponents. A stealthy trickster, the Burglar

can dart in and out of the shadows to befuddle, weaken, or

attack foes. An unexpected strike from behind by a Burglar can

stun enemies, allowing others in the fellowship to combine their eforts for a

devastating attack. Burglars are not formidable in one-on-one combat, and

must exercise caution when adventuring alone.

Lore-master

The Lore-master uses his knowledge of ancient wisdom to attack

his foes or to ease the sufering of his companions. He can even

communicate with animals and request their aid, and also use his

knowledge to daze, harm, and hinder his enemies.

Captain

The Captain class is an excellent choice for players who enjoy

aiding their fellows while participating in melee combat. With a

number of support skills and the ability to call Heralds to ight

alongside, a Captain is a natural leader for a fellowship. A Captain

provides hope and leadership to his fellows, inspiring them to greater deeds.

Minstrel

The Minstrel is the class for players who want to help their

fellowship members keep going through the darkest of times.

With a vast repertoire of tales both fair and foul, a Minstrel

restores the Morale of her fellows and causes her enemies to

despair. Though able to wield weapons, Minstrels prefer to let their words,

rather than their swords, speak for them.

Champion

Players who enjoy fast-paced combat with multiple options

available at any moment will enjoy playing a Champion. A true

master of arms, the Champion excels in combat, focusing on

destroying her foes. While a Champion’s training grants her some

survivability, it is not her focus, and she can quickly ind herself in trouble

when facing several foes on her own.

Rune-keeper

The Rune-keeper is a master linguist who uses special rune-

stones to write and present words of power, turning the elements

against foes, and inspiring allies to continue the ight. A Rune-

keeper can change from healer to ofensive caster between

battles and is an excellent choice for players who like to change roles.

Guardian

The Guardian is the class of choice for players who enjoy hard-

fought battles and heavy hand-to-hand combat. The Guardian

is one of the few classes willing and able to draw blows onto

himself, and can retaliate with devastating response. A Guardian

uses taxing attacks and irksome taunts to draw and hold opponents’

attention, relying on his shield and weapon to turn aside incoming attacks

with blocks and parries.

Warden

The Warden is a good choice for players that enjoy a more

strategic feel to melee combat. Wardens build advanced Gambits

from sequences of their base attacks, triggering powerful abilities

that can aid their fellows or harm their foes. Wardens are at home

in the thick of melee. Wardens are masters of the Spear and Javelin, and their

Ambushes have many times ended a battle before it was even begun.
