Exhaustive list
Playable races
“The most common face in Faerûn, humans are known for their tenacity, creativity, and endless capacity for growth.„
“With ethereal countenances and long lifespans, elves are at home with nature's power, flourishing in light and dark alike.„
“Heirs of the mystical Feywild, high elves value magic in all its forms, and even those who do not study spellcraft can manipulate the Weave.„
“These elves spend their reclusive lives in Faerûn's forests. Decades of training in archery and camouflage are enhanced by an otherworldly swiftness.„
“Driven to the Underdark, most drow have adopted a ruthless pragmatism. While the Lolth-sworn delight in the goddess' evil tenets, the Seldarine reject Her attempt to overthrow the leader of the elven pantheon.„
“Raised by Lolth's cult in the city of Menzoberranzan, these drow embody the virtues of their corrupt and merciless goddess. Lolth marks Her followers with bright red eyes so those in the Underdark will learn to fear them on sight.„
“Seldarine drow can be found seeking allies from all over Faerûn, aiming to settle their conflict with Lolth - and each other - by any means necessary.„
“As durable and unyielding as their homes of stone, dwarves are some of the finest warriors, miners, and smiths of Faerûn.„
“These dwarves are known for their confidence and keen intuition. The culture of their Deep Kingdom values family, ritual, and fine craftsmanship.„
“Great losses in ancient wars against goblins and orcs have led these dwarves to adopt a cynical mindset, but they will endure anything to restore their ancestral homelands.„
“Once enslaved by the eldritch mind flayers, duergar adapted to freedom with harsh practicality. Their cold demeanours and gift of stealth are well-known throughout the Underdark.„
“Curious, ambitious, and versatile, half-elves are welcome everywhere, but struggle without a community to call their own.„
“A touch of the Feywild remains in half-elves with this bloodline, and even those untrained in magic possess a hint of wild power.„
“Like their wood elf parent, these half-elves have a quickened stride and an eye for stealth. Yet many break away from isolation in Faerûn's forests to explore the rest of the Realms.„
“Most half-drow result from liaisons between Seldarine drow and surfacers. While half-drow inherited a few magical gifts, they aren't usually raised in the Underdark.„
“Small, clever, and energetic, gnomes use their long lives to explore Faerûn's brightest corners and darkest depths.„
“The most commonly seen gnomes on Faerûn's surface, rock gnomes are named as such for their hardiness and affinity for metal.„
“More guarded than their surface cousins, deep gnomes survive in the Underdark with darkvision and skilful stealth.„
“Even smaller than their cousins and twice as reclusive, forest gnomes are a rare sight in Faerûn. They master magic and craftsmanship in their distant, idyllic groves.„
“Small yet capable, halflings prefer the comforts of home and hearth - but their natural luck and dexterity makes them fine adventurers.„
“Stealthy but social, these halflings travel all over Faerûn to make names for themselves.„
“Legend has it that dwarven blood gave stronghearts their hardiness. Resistant to poison and wellsprings of endurance, these halflings easily hold their own.„
“Descended from devils of the Nine Hells, tieflings face constant suspicion in Faerûn. Thankfully, their arcane abilities make them natural survivors.„
“Bound to Nessus, the deepest layer of the Hells, these tieflings inherited the ability to wield fire and darkness from the archdevil Asmodeus' infernal bloodline.„
“Descended from the archdevil Mephistopheles, these tieflings are gifted with a particular affinity for arcane magic.„
“Tieflings from Zariel's bloodline are empowered with martial strength, and can channel searing flame to punish their enemies.„
“With a ruthlessness borne from mind flayer enslavement, githyanki ride the Astral Sea atop red dragons, bringing their silver swords and psionic might to bear against any trace of the illithid menace.„
“A proud race that values clan and skills above all else. Once enslaved by dragons, they strive to be self-sufficient, not wanting to be beholden to anyone, not even the gods.„
“Despite no ancestral links to the mighty creatures, these dragonborn share the charcoal colouration and fizzling, acrid breath of black dragons.„
“Despite no ancestral links to the mighty creatures, these dragonborn share the deep sapphire scales and charged, crackling breath of blue dragons.„
“Despite no ancestral links to the mighty creatures, these dragonborn share the burnished ochre hue and flickering, fiery breath of brass dragons.„
“Despite no ancestral links to the mighty creatures, these dragonborn share the shining sepia scales and sparking breath of bronze dragons.„
“Despite no ancestral links to the mighty creatures, these dragonborn share the pink-gold colouration and corrosive breath of copper dragons.„
“Despite no ancestral links to the mighty creatures, these dragonborn share the resplendent shine and roiling, blazing breath of gold dragons.„
“Despite no ancestral links to the mighty creatures, these dragonborn share the brilliant emerald aspect and stinking, putrid breath of green dragons.„
“Despite no ancestral links to the mighty creatures, these dragonborn share the bright scarlet likeness and roiling, burning breath of red dragons.„
“Despite no ancestral links to the mighty creatures, these dragonborn share the glinting shine and scorching cold breath of silver dragons.„
“Despite no ancestral links to the mighty creatures, these dragonborn share the snowy aspect and frosty breath of white dragons.„
“Creatures of intense emotion, half-orcs are more inclined to act than contemplate - whether the rage burning their bodies compels them to fight, or the love filling their hearts inspires acts of incredible kindness.„
Non-playable races
Aberrations

“Aggressive and greedy aberrations that believe their own forms to be the ideal, and hold all others - be it other beholders or 'lesser beings' - in contempt.„
“Psionic tyrants, slavers, and interdimensional voyagers that feed off the brains of thinking creatures.
Most belong to a hivemind colony devoted to an elder brain, and all work towards achieving the Grand Design - their dream of once more controlling empires that span the multiverse.„
Beasts
“All varieties of animals, both ordinary and magical. Most have limited intelligence and lack a society and language.„
“Alioramus are sedulous hunters, their broad jaws capable of crushing a knight's chest through a full inch of iron plate.„

“Their melodies fill the woods of Toril with a mellow sweetness, and their feathers paint brush strokes on even the dullest sky.„
“Bulky and tusked, wild boar are at their most dangerous during mating season, and can use those tusks and the muscle in their bodies to gore and crush.„
“The member of nature's ecological club most likely to pinch your ankles.„

Celestials
“Good-aligned creatures native to the Upper Planes. Many of them are servants of deities, employed in the mortal realm.„

“Bobbing like corks in the earnest, busy muddle-puddle of their lives, hollyphants are sweet-natured little pachyderms who often serve as helpers to good-aligned deities.„
Constructs
