What are the character races?

Race in NWN defines much more than how you look. Some abilities and skills are inherent in one race while not in another There are several playable races to choose from. Let's look at the options.

Playable races

All player characters must be one of the playable races (barring custom content and a custom character creator). In addition to determining what choices are available for the character's look, the choice of race determines the size of the player character (small for gnomes and halflings, medium for the others).

The playable races are:

• dwarf,
• elf,
• gnome,
• half-elf,
• half-orc,
• halfling,
• and human.

Note that half-breeds (half-orcs and half-elves) are considered to be of a different race than their full-blooded parents.
