Revision as of 03:38, 8 April 2024
There are a great variety of Races that can be found in the Forgotten Realms setting 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.
Overview of playable races
There are 11 playable races in Baldur's Gate 3. Many playable races are divided into subraces, which further defines a character's strengths, abilities, and appearance.
Refer to individual Race pages for further details.
Unless otherwise noted, spells gained from race may only be cast once per Long Rest.
In D&D 5e, races tend to receive fixed ability score bonuses as racial bonuses. Baldur's Gate 3 instead awards each race the following ability score bonuses for the player to freely allocate:
- +2 to any Ability Score
- +1 to any other Ability Score
