One of the most important choices a player can make about his or her character is the character's race. With it comes possible boons and hindrances as well as a starting place for behavior, appearance, and physical traits. When you construct your character concept as detailed in chapter two, certain personality types mesh well with some of the races below. For example, your concept might be stoic bodyguard, which would be very well-suited to a Man, Evengar, or Trowl, but would probably be difficult (yet not impossible) for a Goblyn or Firnoy. Do not let the behavioral or physical specifics of a race limit your character concept. This game encourages creativity, and some members of races deviate from their norm.
