70.178.230.25: /* Creature Races */

A '''race''' within [[Unforgotten Realms Live]] is the species of a [[character]] that determines to some extent their appearance and personality.

==History==
Races have not always existed in their current form. During the [[Nuren Campaign]] players were allowed to choose any race, but were instructed to behave as if they were a [[Dwarf]]. [[Roamin's Band of Thieves]] introduced the first race [[cards]], for [[Dwarves]] and [[Gnomes]]. Since then some new playable races have appeared.

==Playable Races==
These are races that have been available at [[Game Rules#Character Creation|character creation]] to play as in an official [[campaign]]. Each player race includes at least two sub-races, which further define a character's traits. A player's main race and sub-race each provide a specified amount of base stamina, as well as a unique ability.

|-

|-
| [[Porc]] || [[Black Boar]], [[Gravehoof]], [[Bone Tusk]] || Porcs are Orc-like creatures that share physical similarities to pigs. They are born from purple goop that Porcs also use to digest their food. They don't normally discriminate between other races, but rather see all races as types of Porc, and usually use power to set one another apart. Most Porcs are also not that intelligent.

==Creature Races==
These are races that only [[NPCs]] have existed as. Some creature races may be made into playable races in the future.
