There are a great variety of '''Races''' that can be found in the [[Forgotten Realms]] and played in [[Baldur's Gate 3]], both civilized and savage. A creature's race determines its lineage and innate powers and abilities. | |||
All races have their own strengths and many possess unique abilities and powers. Sometimes creatures can even cast spells as a result of their racial heritage. | |||
Race affects NPC reactions and available interactions during conversations. Each race also has unique attack animations (while spellcasting animations are based on class). | |||
See below for a list of races. | See below for a list of races. | ||
