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.  


'''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.'''
Race affects NPC reactions and available interactions during conversations. Each race also has unique attack animations (while spellcasting animations are based on class).
