Hi nekrotyrael,

You can find a fair bit of information in the help files. Classes and
races are described in birth.txt (stored in \lib\help, can be read with
any text editor, browser, or through the Angband Help system).

I'm not aware of any place where more detaileed information than that in
the help file is assembled and stored. Either you hunt around for bits
and pieces, or you check the source, or you ask specific questions here.
Most specific questions get answered fairly quickly.

Of course, you can also base your choices on what's in the help system
and let yourself be surprised by the actual mechanics - that is part of
the fun of discovering Angband!

Best, Hugo
