I think it is fine as is, unless you are willing to put in things like Birth Date selection.
The problem is, race descriptions and class descriptions are missing a lot of the important information in the manual, so they have to be learned by hand (or through guidebooks) anyway.
For example, most of the race descriptions don't mention their longevity - something Ghost Bats quickly teach to the aspiring Troll characters. Food preferences, class adjustments to Weapon Skill points required (i.e. that Duelists are lousy with the best single-handed weapon in game, Spear, and are worse with ranged weapons than Wizards is not mentioned there), spellbook generation RNG rate and difficulty of reading, etc, etc.
