Race represents a creature's bloodline or ancestry. Arelith supports a large variety of Races and Subraces as outlined below.
Contents
Introduction
Races are chosen either by selecting the race directly in the racial list OR if the race does not exist in the racial selection list by selecting a base race at character creation, then using the setup dialog for subraces upon joining the game. Gifts can also be chosen to customize characters further.
The multiclass experience penalty has been removed from Arelith, making the racial favored class redundant.
Unless otherwise noted, Planetouched races can only be applied to "base races": Human, Half-Elf, Half-Orc, Moon Elf, Lightfoot Halfling, Rock Gnome, or Shield Dwarf. This means that you cannot make a wood elf earth genasi, but you can make a moon elf earth genasi.
Most subraces have altered statistics from the base race. These bonuses are only applied after creating your character. For this reason they are listed in two different ways below: Stats and "Change to Base Stats."
For example: if you are creating a Fey (Stats: Dex +4, Cha +4, Str -4) you will have to select the default "Lightfoot Halfling" on character creation (Lightfoot Halfling Stats: Dex +2, Str -2). Use the "Change to Base Stats" of Str -2, Dex +2, Cha +4 to see how your stats will change after the subrace changes are applied.

Monster Races
Players can play monster races either by selecting the race directly OR if the race does not exist in the racial selection list by first creating the character as the base race shown in the chart. Speak to the NPCs in the setup area after creation to have the race correctly changed.
Monster races are reviled by society and civilization, seen as enemies almost universally. As such, monstrous PCs on Arelith are treated as pariahs in settlements and are unable to shop, vote or own property in organized settlements.

Hidden Monster Races
The following are races can hide their appearance but they are monsters.
Playing a Hidden Monstrous Races
If playing a race that has the ability to hide it monstrous nature, you must understand that should they become well-known and outed then they should expect to be considered and treated as a Monstrous Race and all the rules that applies to playing a monster race will apply to your character.
If outed as one of these races, whilst entering settlements would not be a rule break, you should likely expect to be thrown out by PCs or NPCs, with little recourse.
