This article or section lacks enough Experience Points to have a rank. You can help by sending it to a dungeon to fight some battles so it can gain its first ranks.

The Protagonist is the main character whom the player controls in Wizardry Variants Daphne. He is followed around by Lulunarde, the ghost of an adventurer that only he can see and speak to.

Profile

Questionnaires

At the start of the game, the player is asked 10 different questions with 3 choices each; this determines the stat distribution and their personality.

History

Abilities

Right Hand of Reversal

The Protagonist's right hand is able to reverse time for certain things, restoring them to their original condition. The ability can revive people after they've died, and can even revive someone from a skeleton. In addition, junk can be changed back to useable weapons.

Drawbacks

His breathing is labored and he's covered in sweat.
— Sir Elmon says to Albano after the Protagonist reverses rocks

Reversing seems to be rather exhausting to the Protagonist. When he attempted to ressurect human flesh packed into cubes by Warped Ones, it didn't react. Some skeletons and corpses are unable to be resurrected.

Gameplay

For the player, this acts as a minigame where a larger circle shrinks into a smaller circle. Tapping when the larger circle is in the smaller circle will reverse the object. If the selection is just small enough, ~10% of his health will also be restored. If the selection is outside of the zone, he'll be Paralyzed and take ~25% of his health as damage. If a teammate dies during combat, you'll be given the option to revive them. The circle moves much faster, and the available space to resurrect will shrink depending on how much Fortitude they've lost. Choosing not to revive them will leave them dead until you return to town (if before a Greater Harken), or revived in the Temple.

Stats

He starts at level 30, 0/370995 experience, and 711 power. He has critical health, at 24/246. Ending combat, whether by killing or fleeing Lesser Demons, restores the character's health back up to 24/246 and grants no experience. Oddly, he is a No Grade despite being level 30. He is a Human Male Wanderer with a Neutral alignment. The character is equipped with:

He has nothing in his inventory. While this template is used for his stats at level 1, the character starts at level 30, so the following will reflect that. His equipment can't be unequipped either, so the stats are with the equipment active.
