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]], 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. See below for a list of races.

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

''See also: [[Character_Creation#Playable_Races|Character Creation - Race]]''
[[File:Playable_Races.webp|thumb|right|upright=1.2|All playable races and subraces]]
There are 11 playable races in [[Baldur's Gate 3]]. Many playable races must also select a ''subrace'', which further defines a character's strengths, abilities, and appearance.
=== {{Race|Human|30}} ===
* ''No subraces available''


=== {{Race|Githyanki|30}} ===
==Overview of playable races==
* ''No subraces available''
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 Scores|Ability Score]]
*+1 to any other [[Ability Scores|Ability Score]]
