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.


There are a great variety of '''Races''' that can be found in the [https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Forgotten_Realms Forgotten Realms] setting and played in [[Baldur's Gate 3]].  
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. See below for a list of races.


'''Note: Baldur's Gate 3 does not use the term "race" the way it's used in common English. Races in the game are more akin to species.'''

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).
